  1. VI
    About forty years ago there was a boy named Sammy Lawlor. He was coming here to this school and one evening when he went home from school. He told his mother that he would go to the strand for stones.
    Later in the evening the donkey came home alone. Then they went to look for Sammy to the strand. They found his clothes and they waited until the tide went out and his body came in dead.
