“There was a great old story-teller..”
There was a great old story-teller in Ballycrinegan, named Willie Crowe. He told me a story about a tinker. There lived in St Mullins two priests. One day a tinker went to the priests for alms. One of the priests gave him two shillings, the tinker said, "God blesh you," the other priest gave him a half-crown, and he said "God bless you." Then the two priests said to the tinker, what is the difference in, "God blesh you," and God bless you." The tinker said, "sixpence," and walked off.
