    Share Share Post
    One day the famous man named Fionn Mac Cumail when he was a young boy he went to a hurling match. Al the youths and men were anxious to defeat him at hurling. He caught a hurley and struck the ball. It was put out of sight, and he said "There is a pock from a garsún who never drank a drop of milk of his own in his life. There was a man who stood bye and said "I will give you my daughter and twenty. "I do not want her" replied Fionn if I will get a maidean in the island to please me."
