- Folklore - A StoryOne time three men travelled together. One was named Paddy and the other two were each called John. The two whose names were John were always vexing Paddy. One day they came to a public house. They said that they would go in and have a drink of beer. So Paddy said I will go in first and let ye mind my donkey while I will be inside so that agreed and he went in. While he was inside the other two cut the tail off his donkey. When he came out he pretended not to see what they had done. Then the two said to him let you mind our donkeys while we will be inside. While they were inside he cut the sides off their donkeys. When they came out they were surprised but he said they burst their sides laughing when they saw my donkey without the tail. Written by Peggie Dalton
