“Once upon a time a man lived in Branstown Ballinae.”
Once upon a time a man lived in Brianstown Ballinae. He had a lot of money and went to hide it one night. The moon was shining, and he hid it at the end of the shadow of a big tree that grew at the back of his house. Some time after there was a storm and the tree was blown down. When he went to look for his money there was no shadow and he could not find the place he hid the money. It was never found and ever since the place is called the money hill.
