“Once there lived a woman in Ballycrinegan...”
Once there lived a woman in Ballycrinegan, and if a sheep died she would gather the tallow and she would make candles with it. The candles were very easy made, but it was very hard to make them light. If a person got them to light they would give very good light. Some people used to put rushes it them to make them light - Collector
