 After a while, the captain of the robbers sorely misses the loot he left behind.So he sneaks back inside the house in the dark, only to receive scratches from the cat, a bite from the dog, pecking from the rooster, and finally a great kick from the donkey at the stable outside.The captain (who could see nothing in the dark) weaves a fancifully horrid account of what happened, adding that not all the plaster in Enniscorthy would heal the cuts and wounds he received, and the other robbers lose all craving of trying to retrieve their loot.
