  1. A Lone Bush

    A Lone Bush
    There was a lone bush in a field about one mile from Edenderry.
    About forty years ago the farmer ordered his workman to cut it down and take it out of the way as the field was about to be ploughed.
    The workman cut it down but when he got up the next morning his head of black hair had turned grey this is verified by the farmers son.
