2. Insane Son Kills Man

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Long ago there was a woman & her son & they lived in a small house on the side of a mountain. One day a man came into the house after hunting & he had his gun with him. He was very tired & he stretched on the bed near the fire. There was a lot of flies going around & they were eating him. So the mother told the son to go over & keep away the flies. What did the son do but get the hatchet & struck the man with it & killed him. The mother was frightened & she told the son not to say that he killed him at all. They went out & buried him in the garden. That very night the mother got afraid that the guards would come & get the man. So she got up & rose up the man & went & buried him in another place. She killed an old goat & put her in the place of the dead man. On the next morning the guards came & what did the son do but tell them that he killed the man & where he buried him. But the son was out of his ways as you see from the story. When they searched they got the hole & they thought it was the man, but what was it but the goat.
