  1. Many years ago a man from the holl of Down had a cow and she got ill. Some-one told him about Connor Sherdan. Connor lives a long journey away and in order to see him he got up early and went to first mass in Delvin. He met Connor Sherdan and he went to tell him all about the cow and he told him everything that happened when the man was going to mass. So Connor told him what to give the cow. He did what Connor told him and his cow got better.
