The Giant's Causeway (7)

" Now, Fin was telling me that he was going to crack those cliffs on the hill below, to make a spring to bring us water. Will you do that for me, since Fin is not here ? "

Again, Cucullin was amazed at Fin's strength, and went outside to make a crack in the rocks for the water to come through.

Oonagh thanked him for his help, and offered him some food.

With the meat and cabbage, she brought one of the bread cakes she ahd baked.

When Cucullin bit on the bread, he cried out in pain, " Agah ! That's two of my best teeth broken ! "

" But that's the only bread that my husband will eat, " said Oonagh.
" Try another, it may not be so hard. "

The hungry giant grabbed another, but his hand flew to his mouth in horror: " the Devil take your bread, or I'll have no teeth left ! " he roared.

Oonagh pretended to be surprised.
" Even our son eats this bread, " she said, passing Fin a bread cake with no iron inside.
