2. Una leggenda irlandese
• This is a famous Irish
legend. Ireland is an
island in the Atlantic
Ocean.

4. • A long time ago there
lived a priest in
Ireland. His name
was Patrick .

5. • In Ireland there lived
many snakes, too.
People were afraid of
snakes.

6. • Patrick wanted to
help. How could they
get rid of the snakes?

7. • He took a drum and
played it loudly – and
all the snakes slid
away. Patrick walked
all over the island,
until the last snake
was gone.

8. • The people were very
happy. They called
Patrick a saint. Today
you can't find any
snakes in Ireland.
