    priest saw the water flowing over the bridge he said "go in and come out in your own shape and form", and a turkey-cock came out. Then he said to the turkey-cock, "go in and come out in your own shape and form", and a Greyhound came out. He said the same thing to the Greyhound and a soldier came out. Then the priest settled the soldier between the froth and the water, and it settled down, and James MacCormack went home.
