    Funny Story
    A man in Shanara went to America and remained there for about five years.
    When he returned he asked his old mother "What is that long tailed animal there Mother" and she replied
    "Wisha, Donal, agrái sil don't you know the cat".
    Ever since when anyone returns from abroad people say he or she didn't know the cat if they put on a lot of airs.
