    There was once a poor man and he had only one cow.
    The cow fell sick all of a sudden and every herd tried to cure her but ut was all in vain but they could not find out what was wrong with her.
    The man want for Conor Sheridan then, and he could tell him what happened the cow.
    He told the man that it was on the boreen that she got sick. He told the man to get a certain woman, that lived near him to milk the cow once, and that she would be alright.
    The man did as he was told and the cow came right.
