  1. There was once a man and his wife going on a holiday to Dublin. They went by train and they had a little dog with them. The man was smoking a cigar and did not know the cigar fall from his mouth down on the railway and out jumped the dog after it. They were very poor crying after the dog and they thought he would be killed. When they came to the station they came off the train and there was the dog was and would you guess what he had in his mouth "his tongue".
