  1. Story.
    There was a boy one time and he lived with his father and he (g) did not get away any place until he was fifteen-years of age. His father took him out to the fair one day and he saw three girls coming up the street and he asked his father what it was and he said that they were three goats and the boy told his father to buy him one.
    Brigid Gallagher. 28.12..1937.
