  1. A Local Hero

    Share Share Post
    There is a man living in Rhine, County Longford, who is about fifty years of age, his name is Morgan.
    When he was about twenty years old he was a very swift runner, he was able to run as fast as a rabbit or a dog. He often ran from Edgeworthstown to Longford in 35 minutes. People call him the rabbit Morgan because he was such a good runner when he was young.
