    (continued from previous page)
    Lissycasey was reaping oats with a hook. He ate stampy and milk for his dinner. Soon afterwards his stomach began to swell. The people had to tie a súgan around his body to prevent him from bursting.
    After a few hours he got well. This would not happen but for he had eaten too much. Years after when times were better this stampy making was done for a feast. The day the last of the potatoes were dug the best and the largest potatoes were collected and cleaned and made into stampy. They ate this stampy with tea and fresh butter.
