  1. The Child and the Eagle

    Share Share Post
    One upon a time, a man and woman were living beside the Lough.
    One day they were out cutting the corn. The child was out lying in the corn. Unnoticed to them an eagle came and lifted the child and flew accross to the other end of the Lough.
    Workers seeing the child made a race for the eagle. But it was of no use. When the Eagle swooped down, the workers called, and the eagle dropped the child. So it was saved.
