  1. Story Connected with Bird Talk

    Share Share Post
    A man named Fisher was one day going to the Fair of Ballybay. He heard a blackbird in the hedge saying "If you have plenty of money your friends will spend it." He went on a bit further and he saw a thrush singing in the hedge. She said - "Have it yourself or be without it."
