Conall Yellowclaw · page 31 2 3201"Well then," said he, "'twas I."202"Och! och!" said she, "'twas I that was there, and the king is the child whose life you saved; and it is to you that life thanks should be given."203Then they took great joy.204The king said, "Oh, Conall, you came through great hardships.205And now the brown horse is yours, and his sack full of the most precious things that are in my treasury."206They lay down that night, and if it was early that Conall rose, it was earlier than that that the queen was on foot making ready.207He got the brown horse and his sack full of gold and silver and stones of great price, and then Conall and his three sons went away, and they returned home to the Erin realm of gladness.208He left the gold and silver in his house, and he went with the horse to the king.209They were good friends evermore.210He returned home to his wife, and they set in order a feast; and that was a feast if ever there was one, oh son and brother.1 2 3← previousThe Horned Womennext →Hudden and Dudden and Donald O'neary↑ back to Celtic Fairy TalesThis page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg7885/9/page/3/
