  2. Once upon a time there was a man who worked in Gilltown. He used to make clocks. He made a clock and he put it up on a tree at Cannycourt spout. It always kept good time. it used to go by the water. He would get any money to make one the same. He made them and they didn't keep good time. People from all parts of the world came to look at the clock at Cannycourt spout
