Story
“There was once a man coming from Athenry.”
There was once a man coming from Athenty. He was drunk and he had a horse and car. He was coming in a certain place of the road when a man sat up on the car. It disappeared again and the next place he saw it was on the wall in the form of a big dog. It was getting bigger and bigger and when he came to a cartain turn it disappeared entirely. The man was drunk and the devil was following him.
