“Long ago there lived in a place called Townawilly a man named James Boyle.”
(continued from previous page)home but from that day until he died he spoke only very seldom. When he was found he described the nice food which he got. He never grew one inch afterwards.
- Once there were four Gentlemen stopping in Ardara. They had two good hounds and two guns. Every day they used to go out hunting and shooting. One day they were out hunting in a broad moor in Atlinagapple about four miles from Ardara.
However this day they were shooting for a long time but got nothing. Near this moor there lived an old woman and her grandson. They were very poor and for nearly a month the boy had been crying for a pair of shoes but his Grandmother was too poor to buy them.
