    Share Share Post
    Once there were two men crossing the Sliabh Mis mountain and on their way they saw two women sitting by the road-side with two children on their knees. They thought they were the most beautiful children they had ever seen and they asked the women who they were and the answer they got was -
    "Síad ár gclann íad",
    "Clann ár gclainne",
    "Driotáireaca ar n-athair iad,
    "Agus Rugadh gan col íad".
    Answer not available.
