   A Sweeney man whose son lived in Cooldaniel no tells the following story. He was working in Inchigeela one day cutting hay with a scythe. Another man was also cutting hay in the same field. Michael McSweeney noticed that his companion had never to edge his scythe while he himself had great trouble in trying to keep his scythe sharp. As a result Michael McSweeney found it very hard to work as quickly as the other man. The second man left the field to get a drink and left his scythe behind him. Sweeney picked up the scythe and examined it. He saw written on a piece of paper attached to the implement "That the edge of this scythe be between me and the sight of God on the last day". The man of that scythe had sold his soul to the devil for keeping his scythe edgy.
