A Story
“There was once a man living in Tyrone.”
There was once a man living in Tyrone. One night he was gong to bed and he had a candle, and the lock was on the door. When he was awhile in bed a man came in to him and the man wondered how he came in through the door. The man looked at him and said "It is well you have a candle lit, or I would kill you, yo because there are candles lit during Mass."
