  1. One day there was a man named Coughlan going to Bandon. He met a man on the road and he told him to bring him some bran. It was all Irish Coughlan used to speak and when he went to Bandon, it was into a Dentist he went for the bran, for he did not know a lot about bran. When he went into the Dentist he asked him what did he want, and he told him in Irish that he wanted some bran. The Dentist did not say a word, but he got the pincers and pulled all the bad teeth from him. When Coughlan went home the man asked him where was the bran, and he said if you asked for bran in Bandon they would not let a tooth in your head.
