Scéal Eile
“There was a boy one day who drove cattle to the hill. When he went up a little piece he thought the cows were walking too slow.”
Sgéal Eile.
There was a boy one day who drove cattle to the hill. When he went up a little piece he thought the cows were walking too slow. He pulled a branch of a bush and hit the cows. Soon the stones and clods began to hop off him so he had to stick the branch on the bush again. The stones stopped then.
