  1. There was a man there long ago. He was coming in from a neighbouring house one night and he met a crowd of horsemen. He said he would go along with them. They said that they had no horse for him. There was a plough near the ditch and they told him to speak a word but when the plough went across a drain the man that was up on the plough said mo grádh do lám seana béin ceacta. They threw him off of the plough and left him there. He had to walk home.
