Wolfe Tones: "Padraig Pearse"

The Wolfe Tone s from Pearse's cell in Kilmainham Jail.

A woman came to Paidrag Pearse complaining about her son's progress, or lack of it, at school.
"He doesn't want to seem to do anything," she said.
"I don't see any future for him except playing the tin whistle.
What am I to do with him?"
"Buy him a tin whistle," said Pearse.
