  2. There was a man living near Kenmare and there was no one living with him to help him. He reaped his oats on Sunday and the Priest warned him that it was a sin. The man did the same the next Sunday and on the way to town Monday, he fell out of the car and broke his leg.
    My Mother told me this story.
