There was a man in Carrowhugh one time and he was a great jumper. There was another man from Glenagivney. The Carrohugh man was in America. He was full of tricks. The Glen man invited the Carrowkeel man to come to the Glen to a jumping match. The Glen man dug a hole in the ground and it was six feet deep. He filled it with water and he covered it over with sods and grass. The Glen man jumped first and he jumped to the edge of the hole. Then the Carrowhugh man jumped and he jumped into the hole. He was all wet.
