    In the penal days when there were no chapels, priests were obliged to say Mass at this place. There is a tree [to] one side of it. The priests used to hide the sacred vestments behind that tree.
    In our village there is a very big lake. It is called Coney lake. Pike and eel are the only fish caught in it. Men and young boys come fishing to it in the summer. They usually fish with a big line and hooks.
