- About thirty years ago, there was an O'Reilly family living down at the lake. At that time they used to catch eels plentifully in the lake. One night there were going to cook an eel and the fire was very bad.They went down a field call the Sunan to cut a tree. They cut it and brought it home and cooked the eel. When it was cooked they pulled the table out on the the middle of the floor and laid it.In the clap of your hand the table was lifted high off the floor and all the delph fell on the floor but not one of them was broken. The bush was thrown from the fire to the door. Then one of them said they would go back with it.So they did and it was not till after words they knew it was a lone bush they had cut.(continues on next page)
