    There is a stream near the stand to cool the bands in.
    There was a forge in Frankfort in the land of Mr Mulcair. The man that owned that forge was Reidy. The forge is now in disuse but the remains are there yet. One night a man was passing the forge he saw a black dog with fire in his eyes. There was a man passing there another night with a horse and car. A woman jumped up on the car. She never spoke a word to him. Near Kilmeedy there was a stream crossing the road and there she jumped off and disappeared.
    If a person had warts and if he washed his hands in forge water the warts would go away
