A girl who had been instructed by her mother to use the knife and fork in company, and not her hands, tells what happened when she forgot:
" Manners" a Mháire", abhairt mo mháthair liom féin.
Leig mé mo lámha 'fánaid'
Agus an cnámh in mo béal."

“A man who had never worn shoes gathered enough money to buy a pair.”
A man who had never worn shoes gathered enough money to buy a pair. He went to the shop and bought a pair of strong shoes or "boots", which were tied at the back with a piece of twine.When he got outside the town he put them on and walked home but did not arrive there until 3 or 4 o'clock the next morning.He had moved only a few inches at each step as the twine was still tying the two boots together! - Collector
