  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There was once a cock seen walking along the street. There was a rib of straw trailing after him. All the people thought it was a beam of wood. There was one man who had a shamrock and he could see the rib of straw. No one knew that it was a rib of straw, but the man with the shamrock. All the rest thought that the cock could draw a beam of wood.
