    Strong Men.
    I.
    Long ago there lived a very strong man in my district by the name of Sean Burne. One day as Sean and his brother were coming home from town with a very big load the horse began sulking and would not pull it. Sean took hold of the car and started pulling away, his brother caught the car behind and started pulling int he opposite direction, but Sean was too strong and he pulled the horse and car and load and his brother home after him.
