“Strong Men: Some years ago there was a very strong man named James Carney.”
Strong men
Some years ago there was a very strong man named James Carney. One day a horse got stuck in a hole, there was a big crowd of men round the hole where the horse was and no one was able to pull out the horse. This strong man came up and he caught hold of the horse's neck and he pulled out the horse. He twisted the horse's neck and it never straightened from that day to this.
I got the above information from my Aunt.
