    John Callaghan noticed that the meal was going. Then John Callaghan decided to keep awake the next night to see if anybody was stealing the meal.
    Sean Foster came as usuall for the meal, and when John Callaghan asked him where he was going, he said for some meal that his children were dying of hunger.
    He shed tears of shame, but he said he could not help it. Any time after that, that John Callaghan could spare a little meal, he gave it to Sean Foster for his children.
