    Once upon a time and it was in my own time there was a very Religous Sagart. Father Sharkey at Orlar Abbey the last of the Friars.
    He was a very Religous Sagart
    and he went around gathering oats for his horse. He always travelled the village of Cloonmna. There was a little girl in a house of the Gallagher and never any hair grew in her head.
    The little girl was running up and down the house and the Friar left his hand on her head and where he left his five fingers bunches of hair grew. The brought the child to the Sagart a few months after.
