“Once upon a time there lived a widow who had a son in Africa in the war.”
Once upon a time there lived a widow who had a son in Africa in the war. The son wrote home to his mother and told her that he was making a shift for Ladysmith.
This poor mother was simple. It was one of the neighbours who read the letter for her.
"An bhleagáird" arsa sí, "nuair a bhí sé sa bhaile ní cuirfeadh sé stitch dó féin agus anois tá sé ag déanamh 'shift' do Ladysmith. Cé hí Ladysmith, ní fhedair?" arsa sí.

What is the least valuable thing a person can have in their pocket?
Ans. A hole
What roof covers the most noisy tenant.
Ans. The roof of your mouth

Ans. When it is peeled
What is the smallest room in the world
Ans. A mushroom
Under the water and over the water and never touches the water
Ans. The moonGot from: My mother 50 years - One day a man went to fight her. He had a hazel stick a holly stick and a blackthorn stick on her and still she did not go but she had to fly from the holly stick because it was blessed.
