Folklore
Long ago in Ireland there was a tribe of people called poets. These people were always going from house village to village and all along till any news they heard was all over Ireland.
These people were very fond of music and story telling and earned their living this way but they seldom worked in fields, houses or gardens.
These people were dying out as the years went past and in their place came a lazy tribe called tramps. These people had their own huts and clans. Some of these people were good working people but the majority were unused to work and do not like it. They prefer to beg and sing songs on the street for a few pence. The people were very generous towards these people and used to let them sleep in their houses.(continues on next page)- Collector
