    Long ago there was a man whose sister was sick and he went to Biddy Early for a cure.As son as he reached the door,she said ,your sister will be alright when you go home ,before he spoke a word.But it is not I that will make her alright as she is dead by this.AS you will be going home ,she told him you'll have to pass by Crusheen .Your horse will shy in a part of the road above Crusheen ,at the hour of 2 o'clock at night and wont pass for you ,but I will give you a stick and dont let it fall.Hit the horse when he will stop and he will gallop home afterwards. All this happened as she said ,as she could fortell anything by means of witchcraft.
