- (continued from previous page)next time you hear anything (?) at night
dont be so inquisitive. You tried to wake the
old man that night and tried to go up in the kitchen
but it was a good night for you you couldn't.
You may thank me for saving you.
- If you went in a long
distance in the Cave you'd come to a stream
of water and on the other side you'd hear
the grandest music you ever heard. And they
say
if you crossed the stream you never come
back but that you'd remain the same
forever there. You'd never change, get ould
or anything. When we used to go to the
caves long ago the old people used to always
say to us "Be sure you dont cross the
water when you go in there." - This well was said to move
and the water from the well flows against
the hill. - When a storm is blowing they say to
throw stones against the wind will cause the
storm to ease off.
