- I myself heard a different version from an old woman, Mrs Roche who would now be about 90 years if she lived and also a different version from a man in Ballyhooly.
The fool crossed the river on a horse's straddle. The priest asked him how he had come, and he fool informed him how.
"I said", said the fool, "Abha Mhór ná bádhaigh amadán Peter" and came across safely".
"Go back as you came", said the priest. - Collector
