    Share Share Post
    There was a woman living in Frankfort Ballingarry and her name was Mrs. Croke. She had a servant boy and his name was Mick Blake. He was not any good to work. Sometimes he would fall asleep when he should be working. She was a very miserly woman. One day she asked Mick Blake if he knew where ere the good boys gone to. " Wisha mam" said he " they are all gone to the good house".
