  1. An Old Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there were two men living in a forest and they had nothing to eat. One day they trapped a blackbird and were roasting it when Finn Mac Cumhal came upon them. He asked them had they nothing to eat and they said no. Finn went away again and in a few minutes he came back with a wild boar and all sorts of animals.
