- One time a man lived in Cavan. He was very rich and never worked on his farm. (So) One time he ordered all the big field to be made smaller. They had to cut some large trees too. Coming to a "Lone" tree they were afraid to cut it down lest something would happen them. Their master said if they did not cut it down, he would turn them off on Saturday. So they had to cut it down. But before cutting it they took off their hats and prayed that nothing should happen them, but to their boss. So they cut it down, and before night the boss got a stroke in the left side from which he never recovered.
