    Share Share Post
    One day the priest said to Líam na gcleas did he know his Catechism and prayers as good as he know old tricks and he said "See do I"? So the priest asked him a few question and he knew them. "Now" said Liam "will you answer me what I ask you". and he said I will if I'm able" Then Líam asked the following:-
    "Ceist agam ort a Sagairt a Cipín
    Ché mhéid muc mór muc beag agus pigín
    Cailín of faoi clótha agus faoí ribín
    Ó Óránmór go bealach á doirín
    The priest wasn't able to answer him.
