“Once upon a time a man named Mr Browne lived in Bandon town.”
Once upon a time a man named Mr Browne lived in Bandon town. He was an orangeman. He had a very long extremely ugly nose. He built himself a huge mansion. When he had it completed he wrote on the pillars of the gate. "What would not men and money do"
One day a man named Dean Swift came along, he passed the gate and saw the inscription. He though for some time and being a very clever man he decided to correct the sentence. This is what he wrote under it.
All the men and money, since Adam's race couldn't put a perfect nose on Brown's face."
