    Once there lived a man and his wife in Clooneybrennan in the parish of Elphin in the
    co. Roscommon who had a good many cows and supplied a good many people in the town
    with butter. One of their best customers was a priest. They always got a good price for their butter. A woman next door had the habit of coming in for a loan when they would be churning.
