    Once there was a giant in Aughagower and he had a pushing stone which is three hundred and a half in weight. He used to throw it over his shoulder and he used to send it as far as another man would send a pebble. The stone is there yet and the trace of his fingers is in it. A great many strong men spend their leisure time trying to lift the stone.
