  1. An Old Story

    Share Share Post
    There was once upon a time in the town of Tipperary Protestant and Catholics. There was a Protestant Minister who hated the Catholic Priest. This Protestant loved to see the Catholics being killed.
    One day a Priest was going to be handed. The Minister saw him, and he was delighted. The Catholic Priest looked at him and heard him clapping his hands. The Priest said to him Long may you live and may you wear your little red cap. He put his hand to his head to take off his cap, and he could not move it. It was stuck to his head.
    It never came off until he died.
