  2. Funny Stories
    In a certain house a man and his wife lived together. They had no children and they were always fighting. At last the wife got tired of her husband and she decided to leave him. One day she went to a far off country and she remained there for several years. After about nine years she got lonesome for her husband and she decided to come home again. Home she came and what do you think, she found her husband dead and buried. She went to his grave side to say a prayer for him. When she was kneeling down a nettle stung her, and she said to herself "Dead or alive the sting is in you".
    Kathleen Killackey, Lispheasty.
    Got from Hubert Killackey, Lispheasty, Eyrecourt.
