- A StoryThere was once a man named O'Driscoll who lived near the Mountain. He was very fond of being out late at night and he was always taken away by the fairies. They promised to take him to some wedding and at last this night there was a great wedding at Limerick and the fairies took him to it. When they reached Limerick they were at tea and the fairy said that the bride would sneeze three times and if she would not say "God bless us" the third time that he would have her. She sneezed twice, and the third time she sneezed her husband said it for her. There were all beautiful things on the table, whiskey, wines etc and the old fairy was so angry because the man said it for her that he caught the man whom he brought from the mountain and threw him down on the table and left him walk home from Limerick.Kitty Deasy, (Sixth class)
