    Long ago there was a man named William Galleher who lived in Glenoughill County Longford, he was a very wise man.
    He started to build an aeroplane, and he went around the country gathering quills of geese and parts of umbrellas, when he had all the parts gathered he tried to build the aeroplane but it was a failure. He then made poteen and sold it, and became very rich.
