- One day Paddy the Irishman Paddy the Englishman and Paddy the Scotchman had no money and were stoney broke.They thought of a trick to steal something out of a farmyard. One night they got into the yard and Paddy the Englishman stole a horse and the Scotchman stole a cow and the Irishman stole a horses car. They were brought to court and brought before the judge and asked did they steal them or where did they get them.The judge asked the Englishman where did he get the horse and he said "I reared it from a foal." He asked the Scotchman where did he get the cow and he said "I reared it from a calf. So he asked the Irishman where did he get the car. He was in a puzzle and did not know what to say. "Ah" he said "I reared it from a wheel-barrow."
