- (continued from previous page)The wise old gobán's son said he would tell a story "but first Oh King" he said "will you promise me that anyone that contradicts me will be thrown into the fire instead of the old man". "Done" said the king. "Well" began the gobán saor "myself and my mother and grandmother sowed the whole of Ireland with oats in one day". - "Impossible" roared a fisherman and the poor fisherman was burned instead of the gobán.
