    A long time ago there was a very wicked bull and everyone that went into the field had to run away or he would kill them. One day this man came into the field and he never saw the bull until he was behind him. The man caught the bull by the tail and kept beating him until he lay down. This man's name was Higgins and after that if anyone went into the field and said "High for Higgins" the bull would run away.
