  1. Mr. Power's farm was owned by Mr. Galligan. One day old Mrs Galligan went out into one of the fields. A shower of red water fell like blood and she went in and told the people of the house. This happened about ninety years ago.

  2. It was the leather jackets that the people sowed during the famine period. After the famine they planted champions.
    O' mother keep the cabin up.
    and keep the garden clean,
    They are not like the former ones we had some time ago,
    And we'll all be home together when the champions grow.
