- (continued from previous page)of hay for sale as he drove in he saw a large crowd of people looking at the strong sight of a cock drawing a log of timber through the town.The people all looked amazed but the man with the load of hay saw nothing strange and said to the crowd "What are you wondering at the cock with a straw tied to his leg".
