   There was a man in Fedamore, one time and he could turn ivy leaves into money. He'd go into the public house and give the (bad) money for drink, and get (good) change, always when he'd be gone, the money would turn back into ivy leaves in the till or else 'twould be scattered among the people who'd get it (as change) and be turned into ivy leaves in their pocket. There was this poor woman and he'd get no credit. The man made money for her, and she bought what she wanted , and the money (Which she gave to the shopkeepers) was scattered, and it stayed with some and 'twas changed back (into ivy leaves) with others. That man used go hunting with Fr. Blake and if they could not get a hare, he would go behind the ditch and make a hare of his handkerchief. (M.O'H.)
