    Two men lived together once. Their names were Paddy and Jack. Some of the prime boys used to come every night rattling chains and buckets trying to frighten them. One night they came to the house Paddy got afraid and he said to Jack "get the holy water and shake it around "No" said Jack "I will get the sprong. It is something stronger."
