    The River Nanny
    The River Nanny is in Laytown, and it is said that long ago it was filled with fish but there are no fish in it now. This is the reason.
    One day when St. Patrick was passing by the river he saw two men fishing. St. Patrick asked them for a fish, and the men said "no". St. Patrick went away. The men caught no fish for not been charitable. from that day there is not another fish to be got in the River Nanny.
