    A Story
    In Clonesker there lived some years ago ,a lame shoemaker named Pat Stack .he worked every day in Scarriff with a shoemaker named O Conner and came home every night. One morning as he was going to his work ,he met a man named Michael Mc.Allen with a horse and cart.
    Mr Stack fearing he would be late for his work asked a lift from Michael McAllen and he gave it to him good morning saying "I am in a hurry .I'll be late for my work "so he limped away and was a long time at his work Michael Mc Allen arrived at town.
