Long ago there was a Catholic church in Limerick, and were were fine bells on it. The Protestants carried the bells and other things out of it. The guards followed them, and the Protestants threw the bells into the channel. There is one priest who knows it yet, and that priest cannot tell it to any other priest until the day that he is dying. One day he was going to tell if to a friend, and he was struck dead.
