- There was a giant who lived on a tree. He used to eat dogs and people. When he used to be hungry he used to come down. There was a son and his mother living in a house and they were afraid he would kill them. The boy went up on the tree and he got him sleeping and killed him.
- One day Seán na Sagart was searching for priests. There were three or four priests saying mass on the hill side and a number of people round them.
