 Eileen Og

 This one is again an interesting story, and a playful one if you ask me.

 Whether it was a real story I don't know. I remember I have seen somewhere
 online suggesting that Petravore, where the story happened, is a fictional
 place. But be it real or not, it is still as entertaining.

 The story was told from the point of view of an admirer of young Eileen, the
 "Pride of Petravore". The young lady probably has captured the hearts of most
 of the boys in the town, but not the cattle jobber McGrath. What even worse
 was that "he never seemed to see the girl at all, even when she ogled him from
 underneath her shawl". This, however, really tickled Eileen's mind and she
 even made her advance, in the end tied the knot while leaving a sour taste in
 the boys' mouth.

 Lesson learned - "When you do your courting make no display. If you want them
 to run after you, just walk the other way. For they're mostly like the Pride
 of Petravore".

 I don't know too much myself but I doubt love works this way. However, I think
 some would be interested in the "challenge", so who knows.

 The version I listened to was by Aed, but there are many different versions so
 by any chance if you are interested, feel free to explore!
