  1. An Old Story

    Share Share Post
    One day a woman heard that her neighbour was churning. She hid inside a fence and tried to charm the butter away from her neighbour. A priest passing by heard her saying; "Toradh do chuid ime-se ar mo chuid im-se [?] jack", "Agus a leath agam-sa", said the priest. When he went home he found a big plate of butter on the table.
