    Once apon a time there lived a man called Thomas Miollot, Coolnamuck, Inistioge. He was not a very rich man. One day he went to borrow and ass and car to go to New Ross, for marketing. He set out for the town. When he came near it he decided to put the ass going very hard, because he owed a debt in a certain shop. When he was passing by the shop, where he owed the debt, the ass lay down under the car. The shopkeeper helped him in getting up the ass, and Millot paid him the debt.
