   There once lived an old woman in Sliabh Bhuidhe. Her name was Biddy Browne, and she lived all alone. She became ill, and after a few days, she sent for a doctor. When the doctor examined her, he told her that she had a great cold in her chest. He gave her a plaster to put on to her chest for twenty-four hours. He called again after three days, and inquired of her how she was getting on. "Well, Doctor", said Biddy, the plaster you sent me was no good, as I have no chest but an old box, and it took me a long time before I could get it to stick. It was only this morning I managed to stick it all".
