  1. Inside a Whale

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a man out fishing away North of Malin Head. He was out a good while when a whale tossed the boat and swallowed the man. When he was in the whale three days the whale lay up against a rock to rest and the man had a pen-knife in his pocket, so he took it out and cut the whale's stomach and got away.
