  1. One day a pedlar went to Clencar Mountain Co. Sligo. He went up the mountain for a walk. He had not gone far when he met a man when brought him to a large rock. The man opened the rock by his magic power. They went in to the cave . On a table of gold was a horn and sword. The pedlar lifted the sword and horn but a crowd of fairies let a shout of joy saying ''Ireland is free'' Ireland is free but the pedlar dropped the horn. If the pedlar had to sound the horn Ireland would be free today.
