One morning as a priest was reading his office along the beach at Malin Mór he saw a man fishing and he was making a great noise. The fisherman had three fish caught when the priest came.Then the priest told him to stop as he would catch no more fish that day. The man paid no attention to the priest but continued to fish the evening but caught no more than three.
Every fisherman who fishes in that shore never catches any more than three.
