- About a quarter of a mile from my home there is a lake and the name of it is Reynella Lake. It is supposed to be an artificial lake that Reynell's made it. One year when Reynells was cleaning the lake a fairy sat up on a tree beside the lake and said "you might not be cleaning the lake because you will not have any son for it." After that Reynells used to say Reynella! Reynella! how will I leave you dead or alive I will never forsake you. This lake is now owned by a man O'Neill.
