“Once upon a time a man left Connemara and went to Dublin.”
(continued from previous page)look around. The shopkeeper asked him what he wanted. The man said what ever I want you haven't it. I bet £500 said the shopkeeper I have it. Have you a piece of tobacco that will go from the top of my toe to the top of my ear. The shopkeeper took out a piece of tobacco and it went up past his ear. Now said the shopkeeper. But the tops of my ears are beyond in Connemara said the Connemara man, and then the Connemara man won the money.
