    (continued from previous page)
    he put the pipes on him and then came the screeching of the ganders and geese. The piper then put on his own old set of pipes to show the priest that his story was true and he played melodious music and from that day till the day of his death, there was never a piper in the County Kerry as good as he was.
    The above story was told by my grand-father to my father who told it to me.
    My grand-father is dead, but my father Michael Walsh who is sixty years old, a mason ad small farmer, lives in Glenlea, Ballyheigue.

    Why are our eyes compared to a school-room?
    Because both have pupils.
