- In the village of Cooneal a farmer lived who used to have a flock of geese every year. One year his neighbour, Mr Thomas Mulhern, had flax set, and when he got up one morning he saw the geese lying into the middle of the flax. He was very vexed and he got his stick to put the geese out of the flax, but when he came as far as where they lay, there was not one goose to be seen around.
