  1. Long ago there lived in Dunowen west an old man named Seáinín Tobac. He made a lot of songs for the people. He was a very small dark man with a very red face. He was a man that could not even write his name. He never went to school either could he read but he was the best printer in the world if he knew his letters. After some years he went away to America.
