Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Leprechaun of Killmeen Until the day he left Killmeen, to "serve his time" in a big draper´s shop in the town of Galway, Padraic MacDermott could never say for certain whether he was more exalted at getting the spare fork or the story out of oul´ Tom Kelleher, the seanacaidhe, in the meadow, saving the hay. And I´ll tell you how it all came about. The summer was well on, and all the people of Killmeen were so anxious to have the hay saved that all the young gossuns were kept at home from school to give a hand at the tossing. So we all skipped and hopped down to the meadow in our bare feet, but the sorra fork was there to spare in the world but the one. We were all brought before Ned Darmody, the man that owned the meadow, in a body, and Ned, with the spare fork in his hand, surveyed us solemnly, to see who might be the fittest to handle it. He gave it, at last, to Padraic MacDermott, and Padraic, I needn´t tell you, was the proud gossun. The rest of us had to go and gather bits of sticks and crooked branches from trees, and give a hand at the hay with them the best way we could; and against the evening was upon us, if we hadn´t the hearty day´s work behind us mind it!
