- Father Murphy of Newbawn was walking along the road one day when he saw a small boy minding goats in a field. He went over to the boy and asked him did he know his prayers and he said he did'nt. The priest said he would teach him the "Our Father". The boy could not learn the first few words of this prayer and Father Murphy said he would put "Our Father" as a name on one of the goats and told the boy to know it when he came back. After about an hour the priest came again and when the boy saw him coming he cried "O Father 'Our Father' is after pucking 'Who art in'."
