The blind farmer was often taken for a
walk
in the fields by a kind neighbor. However kindly the neighbor might

have been, he was undoubtedly a coward. When a bull charged towards
them
one day, he abandoned the blind man.

The bull, puzzled
by a lack of fear, nudged the farmer in the back. He
turned very
quickly, caught the bull by the horns and threw it to the
ground with
a bump that left it breathless.

“Aidan,” said the neighbor, “I
never knew you were so strong.”

“Faith, and if I could have got
that fella off the handlebars of the
bicycle I’d have thrashed him
properly.”
