Long ago, in a place called Cong in County Mayo, there lived a young woman. She was promised in marriage to a king's son, whom she loved very much. But, one day, the king's son was killed by an enemy.
The lady pined away from sadness. Everyone in the village was sorry for her. They knew how much she had been in love. After a while, the beautiful lady disappeared. The villagers thought that the good people had taken her away.

Some time later, a white trout was noticed in the lake. This was curious, for a white trout had never before been seen in the area. The white trout was watched for many generations, and it never changed its appearance or its habits. The people thought the trout must be a magic fish. So they never bothered the trout and always treated it with great respect.

Many, many, many years afterwards, a soldier was fishing in that same lake. When he caught the white trout, he laughed and jeered at the people.
"I've caught your precious white trout," he laughed, "and now I'll cook it right here."
So he built a fire and pulled out his skillet. When the fire was hot enough, he laid the white trout in the skillet. He held the skillet over the fire.
"I've never seen a white trout before," he said. "This fish will probably be the best dinner I will ever get! I can't wait till it is cooked a golden brown.

After a while, the soldier turned the fish over in the skillet. He was surprised that the trout was still white and had not browned. Well, he thought to himself, I'll turn it again in a while and let it cook a bit longer on that side.
But when he turned the fish again, that side was not browned, either. Perhaps this kind of fish does not turn brown, he thought. I will just eat it this way. Surely, it will taste very well unbrowned, as it is a special fish.
