  2. A Priest at a Station

    Share Share Post
    The priest called a station to a backward village in Cluntha long long ago. This village is convenient to Ballahaderreen. The usual way for priests to travel at that time was on horseback. The youngsters of that village never saw a priest or even a horse before and they were lined on ditches anxiously waiting for to see the priest. When they saw him coming they all shouted I see him coming and a man riding on him.
