As Mollie stood looking and wis.h.i.+ng she dared try it, she heard some one telling a story. It was about a young man who got his friends to lower him out over the wall.
But, just as his lips touched the stone, a shower of coins fell to the ground below. The young man had forgotten to take the money out of his pockets.
Every one laughed at the story, and Mollie wished she could have been there to see the funny sight.
"I didn't kiss the real Blarney Stone," she told Norah. "But there was one inside the walls. It was a sort of make-believe Blarney Stone, and we all kissed that instead."
"Daniel O'Connell must have been to Blarney Castle and kissed the stone," said Norah, quite seriously. "How else could he have had the power to move every one by his words? He was a great man. When I grow up, I'll be after going to the great city of Dublin to see his monimint. You see if I don't, Mollie darlint."
"Maybe we'll be going together, Norah," was the answer.
And the two little girls skipped arm in arm across the fields of the beautiful Emerald Isle.
THE END.
