  1. On Travel A Hawk

    Share Share Post
    St Patrick landed on Travel a Hawk and people by the name of Phillips invited him to dinner. They cooked a dog for his dinner and put it on a dish and they said it was a lamb. He sat down at table and said "if it is a lamb it will bleat, and if it is a dog it will bark" and he made the sign of the cross, and so the dog sat up on the dish and barked at them.
