    There was once a man and he was coming home from the bog and he had a slane on his shoulder. There was lightning on that day. The lightning drew to the steel and it killed the man.
    The old people say that it is not right to carry any thing steel when there is lightning or it will draw to the steel and the one that is carrying it will get killed.
