    1. There is an old tree in Abbey. It is called the popular tree. There was a man going down the road on horseback one day and he has a popular stick in his hand.
    2. The horse went into the river for a drink. The horse began to jump in the river. The man fell off the horse.
    3. The stick the man had in his hand stuck in the ditch. The man got killed there. The name of the man was Mac Donough.
    4. The tree is about one hundred yards from the chapel in Abbey. The popular tree is to be seen yet around here. It is about one hundred years old.
