    Pat Connor from Dirha was on a journey to Tralee one fine Summer's day. When he was near Tralee he saw a man cutting grass. The man was a great mower with the scythe and was even the best around the district. Pat Connor asked him for a bag of the grass. The man gave him the scythe and Pat cut the full of a twenty stone bag in one blow and was the best mower from that on.
