   There was a man in Sledrin and he had straw crosses for twenty years and he would give nobody one but a priest and one day a priest came and asked him for one and the man gave him one. The man went a week after for the cross but the priest had given it to another man before the he came and when the priest went back with the cross the man was sick and he told the priest to keep it. The man died three days after that.
