  1. A Story (continued)

    Long ago when Saint Patrick was teaching the true Faith to the people of Foghil...

    (continued from previous page)
    The one he had was too big so he said he would give him the next. The next one he got was bigger and the next one was still bigger and he kept on like that until he said he would' not give him any one at all.
    Saint Patrick went away. He cursed the place and the tide never rose on that place or there was not a salmon caught in it since.
    It is called " Cnocán áit an Iasgaire ".
