  1. Once upon a time there lived a woman in Mullaghanery and there was a holly bush on her farm.
    It was coming near Christmas and she went to the bush for holly. She put it up and when she had up there came a great storm.
    She had to leave the holly back again and when she came back home again everything had settled. The woman’s name was Brigid Kelly.
    The bush was a “gentle one”
