    Once upon a time there were people called Farrells living at Lackan which is in County Longford, and they had a cat which died. A man named Walker was walking along the road near the house where the cat died, and a cat came out of ditch and said to him "Man-oh tell Cat-tro Manhaeser is dead" the man went home and told his cat Manhaeser was dead. the cat got up and walked out and never came back.
