“An old man used to be going around here long begging. He was a great giant of a man, but he was blind...”
An old man used to be going around here long ago begging. He was a great giant of a man, but he was blind. He had two sons and they used to lead him. They used to have a trial at casting the stone, the old man and one of the sons, and the other used to be marking for them. The old man used to think the marker used to favour the brother - "Aha" he used to say "go gceildh Dia an Flaitheas ort má dheinean tú eagcóir orm"
His name was Rinn Mór
