“Once upon a time there lived a widow who had a son in Africa in the war.”
Once upon a time there lived a widow who had a son in Africa in the war. The son wrote home to his mother and told her that he was making a shift for Ladysmith.
This poor mother was simple. It was one of the neighbours who read the letter for her.
"An bhleagáird" arsa sí, "nuair a bhí sé sa bhaile ní cuirfeadh sé stitch dó féin agus anois tá sé ag déanamh 'shift' do Ladysmith. Cé hí Ladysmith, ní fhedair?" arsa sí.- Collector

“What is the least valuable thing a person can have in their pocket?”
What is the least valuable thing a person can have in their pocket?
Ans. A hole
What roof covers the most noisy tenant.
Ans. The roof of your mouth
When is an apple like a bell
Ans. When it is peeled
What is the smallest room in the world
Ans. A mushroom
Under the water and over the water and never touches the water
Ans. The moonGot from: My mother 50 years- One day a man went to fight her. He had a hazel stick a holly stick and a blackthorn stick on her and still she did not go but she had to fly from the holly stick because it was blessed.
