“There was a man name Paddy and he was working in a farm place mending cars.”
There was a man name Paddy and he was working in a farm place mending cars. He was putting putty on the holes and paint over it. A doctor happened to pass by as he was doing it, "Well Pat", he said, paint and putty hides a lot of your faults" "yes doctor" said Paddy, "and a spade and a shovel hides alot of yours."
