    Share Share Post
    There lived a pair called Lamb (John and Mary) in Aughnarrallan. Greatly bother with one old cow taking murrain so I (Miss Elliott) went up the lane one morning and Ellen told me she had got complete cure - to frogs and I saw them pull out the cows tongue, jump the frog down cow's throat (cow died next day)
