  1. Sir Niall

    Share Share Post
    There was once a man who had (but) one son. One day he sent his son with a pig to pay for the rent to Neil O'Donnell. His father told him to have manners. When the boy came to Neill's house he said to Neill: "My dather sent sir me with sir pig to sir Neill."
