“There was a priest one time who lived near Ballymitty.”
This priest was passing by a place one morning, an he saw a woman skimming a well. He shouted out to her in the distance
"I'll cry half"
The next time he churned he had an awful lot of butter.
The next Sunday he tould the people off the alter, that who ever was at the loss of their butter to come to him an he would give them half of it, an that he would tell them where to get the other half.
