    “Long ago near Fermoy, in a castle, lived a man with his wife and only son.”

    Share Share Post
    Long ago near Fermoy, in a castle, lived a man with his wife and only son. A fortune-teller told the father that his son would be drowned. The father was in great trouble and took every care that the son should not be drowned. He built a high wall round the castle and thought that in this way the son would be safe from all water. One day as the workmen were mixing mortar in a tub the little boy fell into the tub unknown to the men and was suffocated.
