- (continued from previous page)people were vexed to the Tua dé Danans son to nough the kings sons. When he beat the lions himself and the daughter fled away to Tír na n-Óg. After along time they came home and they were very old and withered.
- Once when St. Joseph was carpentering he made some thing and when he had it made he found it was too small. He said he would have to make the whole thing over again, but he would have to make it bigger the next time. Our Lord was present when he said it was too small . He caught hold of it between his two hands and [?] it and made it the size St. Joseph wanted it to be. People say it was the second miracle. He worked on this earth.
