    ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 161
    In this 161st issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the Irish tale of “The Adventures of Gilla Na Chreck An Gour”, a story from Wexford, Ireland. Tom is the son of a poor widow and achieves what he sets his mind to. At that time the King of Dublin's daughter was so melancholy that she hadn’t laughed for seven years. Her father was so concerned he said he would grant her in marriage to whoever could make her laugh three times. "That's the very thing for me to try," says Tom; and so, without burning any more daylight, he kissed his mother and off he set along the yalla highroad to the town of Dublin......…….
    Did he succeed or didn’t he? Download and read this story to find out what happened to Tom and about the adventures he had along the way.
