- Once upon a time a man was getting a coffin made with my grandfather Samuel Kelso, Killyclug.
When it was finished a young man lifted a little dog and put it inside it. Then two men came and took away the coffin on their shoulders. When they were going along the road they heard a noise inside it. They were so frightened that they left down the coffin and ran as fast as they could.
About half-an-hour afterwards, the man who put the dog inside the coffin, and another man, came along, let out the little dog, and then took the coffin on to the house.
