    book also. In a few days Patrick and his mother arrived at the Priest;s house. The priest took him into the sitting room and asked Patrick to read some of the book for him. So he started to read as follows Dub is ban. Dan is dub' and continued this for a few pages. Oh that will do my good man said the priest taking down a black thorn stick and started to beat Patrick around the room then Patrick began to shout and scream and every shout he'd give the mother would strike her breast and say Oh Thank God he is getting the power now but if I knew he would suffer so much in his ordination I would never get a Priest made out of him (So that's the end of Father Patrick)
