    There was a man who lived in Ballinaslaney named John Murphy
    This man was said to be a great Basketmaker. He used to make very nice Baskets and he used to make potato baskets. When the people were wanting baskets they used to go to this man. He used to go to the fair and he brought the baskets with him and he sold a couple of dozen every day.
