  1. (continued from previous page)
    He went on board the ship and got back to his own native country.
    When he got home he went to school and continued studying until he became a bishop. Some time after that he had another dream that the people of Ireland were calling him back to teach them the true faith. Patrick told this dream to the Pope. Then the pope sent him to Ireland and he taught the people the true faith. Ever after that the people of Ireland have a day in honour of Patrick.
