    “Once there lived a great mower.”

    (continued from previous page)
    the house asked the great mower would he help him at his hay. The other man said he would. Next day he came to help the other man at the hay. The two went to the field together to the field. Walshe asked the other man who was the great mower to start first, but he said he would not. Then the other man started and the great mower after him. After about an hour's hard work both of them stopped. The great mower said to the other man was he going to work any harder. The other man said he was not. "Well then" said the great mower, "I am going to put on my coat, I am getting cold."
