    A Story
    Once upon a time there was a woman living in Timoleague. She used to do some wonderful things in her house. She used to make the kettles jump around the floor and everything else. She told her neighbour about it and when they saw they were frightened and they all ran away out of the house. The priest ordered her to leave and when she did she was never seen again.
