- A funny story.
A boy and his father lived in Cloneyhiggue and they were very poor. The boy got a new suit of clothes. After he getting them he went to the lake to swim. He took off his clothes on top of the a hill and ran down to swim.
While he was swimming the cattle ate his clothes.
When he went home his father got a bran bag and cut a hole on the top of it. so he had to wear the bag after that.
