    A Story
    When people are sowing potatoes they begin to sow om Tuesdays and Fridays.They say it is not right to begin any other days.Long ago some people used to shake holy water on their gardens every morning.
    May nights people hide bad eggs and boiled potatoes in order to take away other people's potatoes. Some time ago a man threw boiled potatoes into a man's garden.When the time of the digging of the potatoes came the man had no potatoes.This happened in this parish
