    One night a man was going home from Coolrain. He could not go home his own road, no matter how hard he tried. He was taking another road, and he was beaten against the ground. He could not go home. After some time he knelt down and started to pray. He could see no one beating him. After he saying some prayers he was able to go home. He could see the marks where he was beaten and he was very sore.
