  1. (continued from previous page)
    the Shannon got its name. Long ago in the River Shannon there were certain salmon which were very hard to catch. They were called the salmon of knowledge. One day a lady called Sionnan went down to the river to try to catch a salmon. After a while she caught one and was cooking it when a great gush of water came suddenly upon her and she was drowned.
