- A Man and A Pig
Once upon a time a man loved in Dromondille. He had a small house on the side of the road. One evening when the man was coming home he heard something screaching he looked around him and he was a black pig. The pig said "you must come with me tomorrow night". "O no said the man. I will not go with you" "you must said the pig and at that instand the pig disappeared. So the man went hom and began crying. The next night the man was dead and he was buried. One night another man was down that way and he saw the man and the black pig. The man and the pig are seen once every year. I was told this story by my father Patrick HealyPatrick Healy
