    There was a fair about once a forthnight long ago in Listowel. The people generally give something for luck. The seller would give 2s 6d for luck for a calf, 5s 0d for a cow or a pig, and 10s 0d for a horse. When they sell they generally say, "What goes up the chimney", "Smoke" "bargain is made and cannot".
