    Once upon a time Edward O'Reilly father of the present Brian O'Reilly was going to the fair of Bailieboro with a calf. A man named David McNeill passed him on the road going and overlooked his calf.
    The calf immediately fell on the road and Edward called back McNeill and told him that he overlooked his calf. McNeill said "Good luck" to the calf, and he immediately got up and was as good as ever.
