    Once upon a time there lived a boy named Cahal and he went against his father's wishes.

    (continued from previous page)
    a short time he had it cut down. The wild duck flew away and was just flying over the sea and dropping the egg when Cahal called to the salmon to help him. Just as the egg was dropping the salmon caught it in his mouth and gave it to the man. He brought it to the magician and magician was delighted and he gave him two hundred pounds and he went home to his parents and got very rich and lived happily ever after.
