“There was a man living at Barnes Road the name of Adams.”
There was a man living at Barnas Road the name of Adams. In one of his fields there was a very nice holly bush. He dug the bush which was growing in the middle of the field and took it & set it in his garden. The bush withered and his cattle died. The neighbours told him he shouldn't have dug the bush but he only laughed at them. He had bad luck & he was very angry. The neighbours were always telling him he should leave back the bush. One day he pulled it out & threw it into the hole out of which he had taken it & it began to grow again.
