Story
“There was a protestant minister living one time and he had a catholic boy hired to carry him to the church every day.”
There was a protestant minister living one time and he had a catholic boy hired to carry him to the church every day. One night they began to argue about religion, and the minister said that he had a big book in the church that would tell him all. The boy carried [?] to the place, and the minister had two sheep in the graveyard. There were two more men in the graveyard trying to steal the sheep, and one of them was away from the other. Then [?] of them saw the boy coming with the minister on his back, and he began to call "Is he fat Is he fat". The catholic said "Fat or Poor there is him to you now", throwing the minister on the ground and away home.
