    There was a man in Ballycrinegan...

    There was a man in Ballycrinegan and he had a jennet with three and a half legs He saw a fine stone on the back of the mountain, and he longed to bring it home. He got the jennet and cart, and went to where the stone was. He put the stone in the cart and went home with it. He did not turn the cart head over heels, because if it was turning the jennet could stop it with the half leg.
