- A man named Michael Murphy lived in White Church near Cork City about sixty years ago. On May morning he went to steal butter from his neighbour John McCarthy. By doing this he thought he could take away his neighbour's luck, but his plan did not work for he could not make any butter from that on though he had fourteen cows, and his neighbour had only five. The man with the five cows used have three times the quantity of butter that he should have from that on.
