  1. Seán Burns was going the road one day and there was a man inside the ditch chopping a rock of bog deal. He asked him if he would come in to help him. Seán went in and he gave him the axe and Seán made one stroke with the axe and he drove it right to the handle and he walked away out and he left the old man there. The old man had to go to a forge for wedges to release the axe.
