   Once upon a time a man lived in Ballymacarbery; his name was Mr. John Power. He wqas the grandfather of the late Mr. Patrick Power. One day he brought out two horses and put them under the harrow. When the horses came to the foot of the hill they were not able to pull the harrow up the hill. The man tied a rope on to the harrow and pulled it up the hill. It is said he ploughed a big field one day.
