“Long ago in the parish of Kilnamona there lived an old man...”
Long ago in the parish of Kilnamona there lived an old man,
he was walking along the road very early one morning and he met a neighbour and his face was very sad looking .As the man was about to say that he looked very sad ,something stopped him he thought to himself that perhaps it was something that was missing. It was his pipe that was missing.He said,I was in such a hurry coming out this morning that I forgot my pipe ,what harm but I bought a new one the other day.It will take a long time to season ,that is why I am so miserable looking. - Tomhaiseanna
