- 1. One day three thieves named Paddy, Tom and Bill went into a farmer's yard. Paddy stole a horse and Bill stole a cow and Tom stole a carriage. The man of the house followed them and he said to Paddy "Where did you get that horse" and he said "I reared her up since she was a foal" and he asked Tom where did he get the cow and he said "I reared her up since she was a calf" and he asked Bill where did he get the carriage and he said "Oh I reared her up since she was a wheelbarrow."2.

She said "How many Gods are there" He said "What did you say" "I said that there were two" "Listen to that oinseach" said her father crossly "and I'm all the week teaching her that there were three."(continues on next page)
