“About one hundred years ago a family called Monagle and their cattle were dying and their cows were not giving much milk.”
About one hundred years ago a family called Monagle and their cattle were dying and their cows were not giving much milk. About dusk one evening a "wee woman" came into their house and says "you'll have to change the manure heap as it is seaping down our chimney and drowning the fire". The people of the house changed the manure heap on the following day and ever afterwards they had good luck with their cattle and their cows gave plenty of milk.
