    the tailor lost his scissors. He had to go down to look for it. As soon as he got down there was a great big bar of butter on the table where he was sewing. He couldn't make out what was bringing it there, but there was an old woman in the house and she asked him did he meet or see anyone when he was coming that morning. He told her about the woman with the besom and what he said so she told him that the woman was taking the neighbours' butter.
    Mrs Gallagher, Tubber, Granard.
