Story
“John McDermott Drimalasson owned five cows.”
458
Story. John Mc Dermott Drimalasson owned five cows. One morning he sent up the servant girl to the fort where the cattle were grazing. When she went up she could only get four cows. She searched high and low and so did the owner but it was of no avail. However after two years the maid went up as usual to the hill for the cows and there she found the lost cow and two calves eating the grass with the rest of the cows.
