John Coppinger of Mount Hazel was a stone-cutter. He had a sore eye which was bandaged. One day about two years ago he was standing outside his door when Mary Kenny of Ballymacward, Woodlawn, Country Galway came along. Mary had a yellow complexion and was wearing a yellow coat. She bade John "Good evening," and in reply John said. "Yellow upon yellow makes yellow look white." She answered him back saying, "Rag upon one eye gives the other eye sight."
