- There was once a man living in Cloonee and his name was Tim Mooney. One day Tim Mooney wanted a bag of oats and he went to the market of Headford. When he went to the crane there was a man selling oats. There used to be five hundred weight in the bags at that time. Tim Mooney bought a bag and he wanted to bring it down the town. Five or six men put the bag on his back. When he was going down the town there was another man at the crane and he jumped on top of the bag on Tim Mooney's back but Tim did not know that he was on it at all until he was taking down the bag when the other man jumped off. His name was "Seán" Ned.
