Correction Saint Patrick and the Snakes

A little Irish boy tells us about a legend from his culture. He says there are many versions of the story.

There were many snakes in Ireland. They created a lot of problems: attacked people, ate crops.

Saint Patrick was a catholic priest. He decided to help the people by driving the snakes out from Ireland.

He rang his church bell to attract the snakes. The snakes followed him, all the way up a cliff, overlooking the sea.

Saint Patrick played some music (a tune) and the snakes fell into the sea.

They merged together to form a giant serpent.

Nobody knows if the story is true, but the boy says that we know for sure there are no snakes in Ireland.

 

A retenir sur cette compréhension: le vocabulaire:

a snake: un serpent

crops: les récoltes

a cliff: une falaise.
