    A Story about the Famine days
    Many stories are told about the famine days in this district and about many people who died of starvation-tion.
    In the downland of Greaghna-leva a woman and her child died. One night a man named Michael Wynne was passing by a river near the dead woman home. He heard a lonely cry and he saw this woman washing the child in the river.
