  1. Old Story (continued)

    Long, long ago a giant lived in Connaught. He held a feast, he invited all his friends.

    (continued from previous page)
    and he challenged all Connaught around.
    The shots were flying off him. Goll came home he went to the far side of Lough Finn. There was a black pig on the far side of the lough, the black pig and Goll were fighting.
    Oisin's sister was on this side. She heard the noise of Goll and the pig. She lifted two stones in her apron and threw them into the lough to get over. They are there from that day to this day when she went over, Goll had the black pig killed and the pig had Goll killed.
