As they were coming along the young doctor asked the other: "How did yez know the man was after ating cockles" says he.

Sometime after the young doctor was called to see a patient. Just as he was entering the room he gave a look under the bed, and he saw a saddle under it.
"Youz are after ating a bit of a horse" says he. The people of the house thought 'twas mad he was and they hunted him.
