  1. Local Heroes
    An old man named John Sheehan lived in Doona, Milford and he was very interested in greyhounds. Early one morning his hounds woke him huntin a hare. He jumped out of bed and ran naked after them until he killed the hare himself about three miles from his own home. It was when he was going home he saw he was naked.
