There lived in Islandanny about a hundred years ago a man named Michael Horgan. One May morning he went out very early to see his cattle and he saw a round thing like a football coming towards him and it saying "Bailig leat!" "Bailig leat!" When it came nearer he kicked it and butter and butter milk came out of it and it stopped there.
