- It is not lucky to draw sticks out of a churchyard because it is consecrated ground. People who so are punished in some way. Long ago a man named Murphy put up a new tombstone. A tree grew near it and he thought it would fall and break the tombstone. He told my Grandfather to knock the tree and draw it away. Before breakfast the next morning he went to the graveyard, knocked the tree, and drew home half of it. He left the ass in the house while eating his breakfast. When he went for him, to draw the other half he was perished.
