Once upon a time when my father was going to school he met an old higler named James McKenna he had some other boys with him. The higler went into the house to buy eggs. When the higler was in the house my father and the other boys took out the ass out of the cart brought the ass out into the field and put the shafts of the cart out through the gate and yoked the ass again.
