    Story St Patrick's Ass
    St Patrick had an ass and one night when he was lodging in a house he left his ass out in a field. After a while the ass began to do mischief and the farmer who owned the field began to complain. So St Patrick said that the ass would do no harm but where ever the print of his leg would be there would a lot of grass grow growing. So one night the farmer put one of his men walking all around the field with the ass but St Patrick knew what was on and he put a stop to it.
