    An old man named Séan Tobac once had a goat which was always fed on the cliffs. It was the time of German war, and he missed the goat. He searched everywhere and could not find her.Three weeks later he was walking along the cliffs and there he saw the goat with a tin can tied around her neck and a message in it saying she had been taken on board a submarine for her milk and five soverigns in it.
