    Once upon a time there was a man and he would stay out very late at night.

    Once upon a time there was a man and he would stay out very late at night. One night he came in about one o'clock. The mother started to say the prayers. The man was very tired and he could not stay on his knees.
    When they started to say the Litany of the Blessed Virgin she said "We fly to thy protection." The man said "you can fly wherever you like but I am going to fly to bed."
