Wise M. Not if I give you a penny?

Fool. Four, and I will tell you!

Wise M. Very well, four. But I will not call you Teigue the Fool any longer.

Fool. Let me come close to you where nobody will hear me. But first you must promise you will not drive them away. [Wise M. nods.] Every day men go out dressed in black and spread great black nets over the hills, great black nets.

Wise M. Why do they do that?
