- Once there was three men coming home from digging potatoes, and their spades on their shoulders, and they met a woman and when she was passing, one of them saw a briar stuck to her skirt, and trailing after her. He took down the spade of his shoulder and made a chop at the briar and cut off the end of it, and a flow of milk ran out of the briar a long the road.Margaret T. Shea.

- One night a man was coming home from rambling and as he was coming near a crab tree he saw a big dog and he had his tongue out the length of a man arm. When the man had the dog passed out he looked back and the dog was looking in between his two eyes.
