    Long ago there lived a great man who used to make baskets.
    He lived in Oylegate and his name was John Cullen, He used to make all kinds of baskets. He used to make them out of long black sallies.
    All the people from around the place used to come to him for them. Everyday he used to sit for hours making them. All belonging to him were very good for making baskets.
