	The Children of Lir by Kamila

	Once there was a king called Lir. He had four children called Aodh, Con, Fiachra and Fionnuala. The Queen died and everybody was sad. So the king decided to marry again. He married a girl called Aoife. She was beautiful but her heart was hard like a stone and cold like ice. She was very good for the king but she was terrible to the children. The king spent a lot of time with the children playing. Aoife wanted to spend more time with the king so she thought of a very bad plan. She went to a magic man. He could do spells and things like that. The magic man gave her a bad spell. The spell meant that they would return into swans. The children went with Aoife to a little lake. They played in a lake..Aoife took out the wand and the chidren turned into swans. Aoife told them they will return into humans when they will hear the church bell and she told them that they would stay on this lake for 3 hundred years on another lake for 3 hundred years and on different lake for 3 hundred years then they will hear it. King told Aoife to go away from the castle. The king spend all his life with the children until he died. So they came up to go to another lake. The three hundred years went very slowly. But the time came up and they needed to go to another lake. Then they heard the bell and they return people. They died very soon after that.

	Once there was a king called Lir. Lir had four children. They were called Aodh, Con, Fiachra, and Fionnuala. The children were sad because their mother died. Then one day Lir married a mother called Aoife. Aiofe was good to Lir but was not to the children. One day Aoife brought the children to the lake where they play every day. While they were playing Aoife pulled out a wand and waved it over the children. The children turned into swans. Lir was looking for his children. Lir was surprised when the swans could talk. "Father father" they called, "Aoife put a terrible spell on us." King Lir ran into the castle and banished Aoife. Lir spent his days talking to his children until he grew old and died. After they travelled to all the lakes they heard a church bell ring. A man called Caomhog was a priest. The priest sprinkled Holy water over them. The four children turned back but then died.
