“Dandelion is a cure for lung disease.”
Dandelion is a cure for lung disease. It is a yellow flower and there is a story told how it got that yellow colour.
Long ago it is said that a girl had very black hair and she dyed it yellow. One day she was picking Dandelion for her mother who was sick and it began to rain heavily. It rained for a long time and there was no place to go for shelter. After a long time the girls hair began to run and all the yellow dye dropped on the Dandelion. So after that the Dandelion was a very yellow colour.

Deirtear gur chuaidh fear ann fadó agus bhí sé caoch agus chimil sé an uisce don a shúile agus go raibh sé ábalta ar rudaí d'fheiscint mí ina dhiaidh sin.
Ní tugann daoine uisce abhaile leo ón dtobar sin anois ach tá tobar eile gairid dó agus tugann na daoine uisce abhaile(continues on next page)
