  1. (no title) (continued)

    Once upon a time there lived at Ballyseedy an old woman who had but one son.

    (continued from previous page)
    he replied "because I killed the giants and now the land is my own." The king threw himself on his knees and begged Jack to come home with him. Jack did so, and the shoe slipped on easily and the part of hair and ear matched. Then the princess and Jack got married and Jack sent home to Ballyseedy for his mother. And if they did not live happy that we may and when they be drinking coffee that we may be drinking "tay."
