    A Story.
    Once a man set out walking to Dublin .He walked away and he met alot of mile stones.He
    passed out alot of them anyway and he was thinking they were all tomb stones .He used say the Lord have mercy on the people who are buried there.
    Begor at last he said he was doing the thing too bad and that he should pray for some of them.at last he took off his hat and knelt down beside one of them.He used read 25 miles Dublin on one of them, but still he was sure that it was someone was buried in it and that it was a tomb stone .So some man came and explained to him what he was at.
