  1. Folk-Tale

    Share Share Post
    A man's wife died leaving some young children. The widower married again and had a second family. The family were sitting in the kitchen one evening and one of the living woman's children sneezed. The mother said "God bless us". After a short time one of the step-children sneezed but she said nothing.
    Then a voice was heard saying - "Ora linn, a leinbh gan mháthais."
