    Two neighbouring women have had a few words with each other as women often have but this story happened over seventy or eighty years ago and during the conversation one said to the other "are you mad are what." The other not being as well off as the other said:-
    1) If you had no house but a bothán and no door but a scolpán
    2)And if you had no clothes but the priobáin[?]
    3) And if you had no food but the creachán
    4) And if you had no drink but the srucán[?]
    5) And if you had no bed but the suideachán you would be mad too
