Story 22
“There was once a man named Henry Miller, who lived in Glacknadrummond, Culdaff. He blinked everything at which he looked, and everything which he blinked was sure to die.”
There was once a man named Henry Miller, who lived in Glacknadrummond, Culdaff. He blinked everything at which he looked, and everything which he blinked was sure to die.
One day a neighbour man did him some harm. So when he was passing the field in which the man's cattle were grazing, he blinked the cattle, for the next day one of the beasts died.
