    Share Share Post
    1. Long ago there lived a man in this village of Ballygown. His name was Mick Mullin, He left his own people and went away to some foreign country. He did not want anyone to know him there.
    2. One day an old woman came in and called him by his name. When he knew that she knew him he went back to his own people.
    He built a little hut near a pond. In this pond he had a lot of fish.
