    Nan Brennan's. - contd., (Cures IV)
    Another cure for chin cough.
    Get a black woolly worm (a caterpillar) and tie it in a little bag. Place the bag hanging on the childs neck. As the insect dies the cough will fade away.

  2. Fairies

    Share Share Post
    They say the fairies would give you a pot of gold. The fairies dance and sing around a lone bush. The fairies make fools of people and bring them the wrong way. They have lovely lights in their palaces and around their forts coins are siad to be found.
