A True Story
“About forty years ago there lived a pensioner policeman, in the townland of Clonee, named Craig.”
About forty years ago there lived a pensioner policeman in the townland of Clonee, named Craig. When he was old he fell sick and died.One day, about two years after his death, a little boy named McKenna was going the road, and he met that man but he did not know him. When the little boy went home he told about the man he met to her parents. They knew well that it was Craig because they saw him often before he died.- You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
