  1. A Fight - Tinkers

    Share Share Post
    One day as John Dunne and his brother were out begging John got the most money and they wanted to share it evenly but John would not agree so they started to fight. A crowd of boys came along and tried to make peace. But it was no good, and they had to go away. Then they fought again until John hit his brother as he was falling John kicked him in the stomach. He died in about a half an hour. Then John went away to England. He returned after some time.
