- There lived in Caherforous a man named Mike Cloonan and he had a nick-name "Tenpenny". This man used have a little garden with walls very high, so high that no goat could get in. When dinner time came always they used blow a tin whistle to call him to dinner. So this day anyhow he said to himself "Bedad I will not walk home any more, I'll be just as good as the crows flying". So he went up on top of one of (the) walls with a bag in each hand. He jumped out waving his hands up and down until at last he fell into a big cullárs of briars and hurt himself very much.(continues on next page)
