    Long ago people use to make chains out of straw and rushes and they used to call them sugan chains.
    Long ago when the old people used to be going to build their houses they used to put four pieces of wool in the four corners of the house and if they were gone next day they would build it in a different place because it is said that it is the bean shee that changed the wool.
