Nanny Piggins tells the children about her distant Irish relative who derived their super power of wisdom from sucking their thumb. In classic Irish mythology, the Salmon of Knowledge lived in the River Boyne. The fish acquired all the wisdom of the world by eating magical hazelnuts that dropped into the water from nine sacred hazel trees. According to the prophecy, whoever caught and ate the salmon would gain supreme knowledge.
