*a tale of a young school rebel rescuing a priest from death,
*a young man's irreparable grief when his mother drowns while saving her turf in the bog,
*a youth's entry to manhood on a sunny fair-day in the company of a thieving young temptress from town
*a memorable clown's farewell and a last faction fight
*the joyful dance of the entire community when their illicit whiskey-brewer finally makes his return to them from jail.
