“There was a man living in Killahan named Thomas Halloran.”
There was a man living in Killahan named Thomas Halloran. One night he was going towards home with a donkey and cart and he had no lamp for his cart. He thought of a plan. He took his donkey out from under the cart, and tied him to the heels of the car, and himself pulled the car along. He had to pass by the hut where the police lived in Killahan, and as he was passing by, a policeman came out, and asked him for his light, but the man told him to go back and ask the driver about it.
