  1. One day Paddy came to a place where a number of men were working on very large building he asked one of the men what they were making. This was a foolish question, as anybody would have known what it was. The man was angry and he said that they were making a dog box. "I was just thinking that" said Paddy "when I saw all the pups around it".

  2. Once upon a time there was a priest going along the road, when he saw a man beating an ass and he went over to the man and told him not to be cruel to animals and to remember that Our Lord rode an ass into Jerusalem "well Father" said the man "if he had this one He would never have got there"
