Celtic Fairy Tales, Munachar and Manachar, sentence 61
"My blessings on ye, then," said Munachar, "but it's the good advice you have," and he took the red clay and the daub that was by the brink, and he rubbed it to the bottom of the sieve, until all the holes were filled, and then the sieve held the water, and he brought the water to the miller, and the miller gave him the makings of a cake, and he gave the makings of the cake to the threshers, and the threshers gave him a whisp of straw, and he gave the whisp of straw to the cow, and the cow gave him milk, the milk he gave to the cat, the cat scraped the butter, the butter went into the claw of the hound, the hound hunted the deer, the deer swam the water, the water wet the flag, the flag sharpened the axe, the axe cut the rod, and the rod made a gad, and when he had it ready to hang Manachar he found that Manachar had BURST.
Who acts: Munachar, head, you, daub, sieve, miller · What happens: say, be, have, take, rub, fill · To what, where: good advice, red clay, head, bottom, holes, water · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of «Celtic Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, Munachar and Manachar.
