  1. Once upon a time there was a great big giant named Fionn. One day there came another giant from Scotland to fight with him but Fionn won.
    When the Scotch giant was turning away Fionn lifted a handful of clay and flung it after him.
    The place where he lifted the clay is supposed to be where Lough Neigh is now. The clay fell in the Irish Sea and formed the Isle of Man.
