When Eoin Ruadh lived at Mintogues there was a hedge school in that field and he went to school there. He was an awful dunce and could not learn anything. One foggy morning he went astray and went into a fort. Being worn out he fell asleep and when he went back to school after he was the cleverest boy there.
