    Once upon a time Paddy the Irishman was over in England for the saving of the hay. In one place he saw a crowd of people making a very big rick of hay and one of the men asked Paddy, were there any ricks as big as it over in Ireland and Paddy answered - there are ricks in Iresand that this rick wouldn't make súgáns for them. What ricks are they asked the Englishman. The Macgillycuddy Reeks replied Paddy.
