A Story.
Long ago a man was ordered to cut down a tree that was growing in Clooney graveyard in which there was a blessed well .before this several men had refused to cut it .This man cut the tree and when he had it cut his mouth went back to where his ear
was.It was then he realized his mistake and he was advised to go to a famous priest who lived in East Clare .
When the priest saw him coming he said Ha!ha! me man you have something done out of the way.
Hitting him a slap on the jaw his mouth returned to its proper place .he told him never to interfere with anything sacred again.
