- A Story
An fear a bhí fad ar a Mháthair
Once upon a time there lived a man named Padraic Ó Concúbar and his wife Nora. They were married seven years and had no children One day he was setting some ash trees in around the house to shelter it. This day he had all the trees set except one when a neighbor told him his wife had a young baby son born to her. He was so over-joyed that at soon as he had the tree set he died. He was buried and a few days after the boy was baptised and called young Pádraic Ó Concubar. He was the only son and his mother had so much love for him that she kept him feeding on her breast for seven years.(continues on next page)
