   Once upon a time there was a man who lived
   in the townland of derryknockrane. One day he
   was reaping a field of oats when a very strong
   breeze came along and was scattering his oats
   about. the man got very vexed and he flung the
   hook out of his had against the breeze that was
   blowing saying, "Our side for it". Some time after
   he was going to a fair in Tubbercurry and we went
   into a house on the side of the road to rest himself.

   the man of the house gave him great welcome
   and called him in his name. the man (of the
   house) wondered greatly when he saw that the man
   of the house knew him and said "How is it that
   you know me and I don't know you" The man
   asked him did he remember the day when he
   flung the hook at the breeze. He said he did well.
