“One day three men met and one of them was supposed to be very brave.”
One day three men met and one of them was supposed to be very brave.
So the two men made a bet with the brave man that he wouldn't go into the Donore churchyard and stick a fork in the middle of the churchyard at twelve o'clock at night and show that he was in the churchyard.
So that night the man took a fork and went to the churchyard to stick the fork in the middle of it.
He did so and when he went to leave he found that something was holding the tails of his overcoat.
He was afraid to look round as he thought he would see a ghost holding his tails. He fainted and when the men found him in the morning they saw that he had stuck the fork in the tails of his overcoat and that was what was holding him.- Collector
