    A Story
    Long ago there was a man who lived in Ross Castle. One day a beggar man came and asked him for a bit of bread. He would not give him any bread. When the beggar man was going out he took a cake of bread with him. He was hanged on a tree for this and a leaf never grew on the tree since.
