“Long ago there a man and his wife.”
Long ago there was a man and his wife. One day his wife got sick. So he went to Biddy Early. She asked him what did he want. He said his wife was dying. She said she would give him a bottle. She knew very well he would lose the bottle. She told him to be sure, and not lose the bottle. He put it into his top pocket. When he was coming along the road the horse stopped to take a drink, When he bent down, the bottle fell out and when he went home his wife was dead.
