  1. A beggar man comes to our house every Friday his name is Martin Ó Neil. He brings news from the other districts, he sells laces, combs, pictures, and statues. If he knew there was a wedding we would let him stop for the night. Another tramp comes every fortnight his name is Murphy. These two tramps are coming to our house for nearly six years.
