    Share Share Post
    There was a man in Ireland long ago and his name was Connolly. He was able to jump ten feet high. There is a man from Ticknevin called Mick Connolly, and he won the gold cup three times for cutting turf.
    There was a great fight on the Curragh of Kildare and it lasted for 20 rounds. The names of the two men that were fighting were Donnelly and Cooper. Donnelly won the fight.
