  1. A Strong Man

    Share Share Post
    In the village of Ballyaneen there lived a very strong man whose name was Tim Nelly. One market day in Gort the crane at the market house fell on him and it did not hurt him one bit.
    Another day when he was ploughing one of the horse would not work. He got angry and he hit her with his hand and killed her. He also lifted a big stone and threw it some distance. It took ten men to put it back in its place again.
