- A Funny Story.Once upon a time a man named Pat McCann was going to Mass. On his way he saw a cow with big horns in a hole.
He began to shout and the first to come was a priest. He asked Pat what was up, "ah" said Pat "nothing but the horns."
The priest got afraid and ran away, and he told the all the people that was going to assist him that it was the devil. So all ran away and Pat's cow was drowned.
