    Virgin and Our Lord passed here the day I was sowing this oats. The soldiers said that must be a long time ago. The crockdile said that I may be burned in the fire if that was not yesterday. The black caoróg said That I may be crunched under foot if that was not yesterday. They believed the caoróg and the crockdile and they went on. The Blessed Virgin then came to a passage that was across a river. It was very strong as soon as she crossed the plank it broke and she turned around and blessed the wood that is the reason why the bog deal is the best timber.
