- There was once a farmer in Knockulty, Mullinahone, bo Tipp. whose name was Mr. Patrick Luttrell. He hired a tramp to find corn. When the tramp was going out into the corn-field he said to the farmer. "An empty sack can't stand". He meant that he was hungry. The farmer got a good meal ready for him. The tramp partook of the meal, after which he went to the corn-field again. He met Mr Luttrell and he said to him. "A full sack can't bend and with that he went away."
