“One time there was a very rich protestant man and he had a great mansion and he used to keep tenants in rooms in the house. So one morning one of his tenants invited the Priest in for breakfast.”
(continued from previous page)distance when the horses fell and he was killed. After some time there was only one of his sons left, who was with his aunt. When he grew up he wished to go back to live in his father's place. He got ten men to dig up all the grass which grew on the avenue walks so they dug it and covered it with sand but in the morning it was covered with grass. So he did not go to live in it on account of what had happened.
