- Once upon a time there lived in Dromane a man called Chambers (now in America). Whenever went to the town, especially on fair days, he always got drunk.
One night he was rather late in coming home and his people went out to look for him. He wandered up along the Lennon. He looked into the water and saw the reflection of the moon. His people called to him and asked him where he was. He answered, saying, that he did not know where he was, but wherever he was he was far above the moon.
This happened about 25 years ago
