  1. Folklore - Our Home District

    Share Share Post
    There are fifteen families living in my district. There were large families in it long ago. They are not so large now. There are only two people over seventy in my town land "Kinkeel". It got its name because it is long and slender. The soil is dry and sandy. There are many ruins of houses where large families lived but they all emigrated. In one case there was a family of twelve and there is only one left.
