  1. There once lived an old woman and she had one goat. After a time the goat died. There was a Missioner in the parish and he was cross and the woman began to cry and she said that her only goat died and he said, "never mind; you will not be with-out one." She said, "every time I look at you, father, I think of Nanny, the goat."
