    The Old Man and the Tailor
    Long ago there lived an old man. He was about eighty years of age. One day he went to a tailor to make a trousers for him. The tailors name was White. When the trousers was made the old man was not pleased with it. He went to White's house for the trousers. He got it and when he was coming home he was cursing White. There was a priest coming along the road but the old man did not see him and he was cursing away. The priest heard him and asked him who made the world. The old man thought that what the priest said to him who made the trousers and he said "it was Whit and bad luck to him he spoilt it"
