- A Story 111
One time there was a man travelling from Ballina to Dublin . When he had a little bit travelled he met a stone and on it was written One hundred and twenty miles from Dublin. He did not know what that meant and he stood upon the road looking at it , and then he said to himself that it must be a tomb stone and that there must be some one buried there. He then took off his cap and blessed himself and said . May the Lord have mercy on your soul . And keep your soul from troubling. Your age is 120 . And your name is miles from Dublin
