A Lost Purse [duchas:4345582]
Once upon a time a priest lost a purse of money on the road. He called it out to the people and said that the one that got the money should return it that it would be known on them before a year. It happened that a crow was passing that road and found it. She brought it to her nest. Soon she lost all her feathers and every thing. She used to come to everybody's door and screach outside it. The people knew that there was something wrong. They followed the crow to her nest and found the purse of money in it.
