    The Story of a Long Jump
    Paddy Ryan was a great long jumper and a high jumper too. He is over eighty years of age now. When he was young he jumped across the railway in Laffan's Bridge, which is about twelve yards urde, in three jumps? The platform which he jumped from is about four feat high, and he jumped to the other side which is the same height.
    Paddy Ryan is a great story teller. He tells about what happened when he was young and about the hardship he went through.
