Summary
A story about a skate that stayed fresh in thatch for twenty years.
A fisherman caught a big skate and put it in his thatched roof. His wife was pregnant and she had a baby boy that night. The skate stayed in the thatch until the boy married, twenty years later. They had it for the wedding meal. The thatch kept it fresh.
People would go visiting and tell stories like this in winter.
