    A Funny Story
    Once there did a man from Ireland go to America. When he arrived there he walked up a street and being surprised at the very big houses he said to a woman looking out a window "aren't these very big houses"? "O," said she, "these are only stables compared with the houses up further." "Ah" said he, " I knew that was so when I saw the donkey's head out the window.
