    Blackwter they only tied a stone to the bag and threw the cat all in to the river.
    'Twasn't right to have a cat alking you know.
    Long ago all the animals used to talk but this speach was taken off them. When Our Lord was wan day in a little house sheltering from the rain the hens came and went up in the roof and started scraping and they never cried crack 'til they stripped the roof off the house and left the rain down on him. There was ducks there too but they did no damage. So ever since the hens cant swim, and they'd got wet and the ducks wont.

    When Our Lord was crucified the robins came....

    When our Lord was crucified the robins cape and covered our Lord with leaves to shlter him from the cold. That is why they have a red breast; and tisn't right to kill them.
