“One day a man was drawing home his turf from the bog with his ass and cart.”
One day a man was drawing home his turf from the bog with his ass and cart. He had a bad ass and he was not able to bring the cart out of the bog. There was a priest on the road reading a prayer book. The man asked him to help him. The priest came to him and helped him. When he had left it on the road the man thanked the priest and said one ass would never pull it out with the two.
