“A man called Pat Chambers once lived in Dromelihy.”
A man called Pat Chambers once lived in Dromelihy. He had two cows and one of them calved. The calf wouldn't stand and he had him in the kitchen for treatment. One night he stayed up to mind him and at midnight the calf stood up and walked to the fire and warmed one of his sides, then he turned and warmed the other side. Then he went back and lied down and died.
A few days after the cow died. Six men were doping her inside the house and she went out through a small window and died outside.
