    “One time long ago when Bernard Doherty was a boy he was herding cattle in Sheese.”

    Share Share Post
    One time long ago when Bernard Doherty was a boy he was herding cattle in Shuse. He left his coat lying beside a rock in the middle of the field. He went down to the foot of the field to look about the cattle. When he came back his coat was changed into a red cloak. He was afraid to lift it and he went home without it. The next day he went back to look for it and he got it where he left it.
