   They had one son by the name of Tadhg who was not able to work.
   One day they were at a fair they bought a cow, and the father and mother and Tadhg were to have a cup of tea in a shop.

   He forgot about the cow and began to listen to the piper.
   In two hours he had learned two tunes.

   Tadhg went away and walked as far as Bantry.
