- A storyOnce upon a time there was a girl who went to a party in Rathkenny. She had very rough hands. She thought her hands were terrible looking and she tried to hide them under the table.Some time during the party there was a long silence, and a man said to her "Awful pause". When the girl heard this she thought he was referring to her hands, so she said to him "If you worked as hard as I do you would have awful paws too".Mrs. Lowe,
