    There was a woman living in this parish during the famine years and she was very poor and she had a big family. One night a woman came looking for lodgings and the woman gave it to her and a good supper. When she had her supper eaten she was telling stories and she also told her that she would get a fortune for every one of her children. The people dug for the fortune and they got it.
