Dumb Mick
An Irish Family Tradition Mick Murphy had long heard the stories of an amazing family tradition. It seems that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been able ot walk on water on their 18th birthday. On that special day, they'd each walked across the lake to the pub on the far side for their first legal drink. So, when Mick's 18th birthday came 'round, he and his pal, Paddy, took a boat out to the middle of the lake. Mick stepped out of the boat and nearly drowned! Paddy barely managed to pull him to safety. Furious and confused, Mick went to see his grandmother. "Grandma," he asked, "it's my 18th birthday, so why can't I walk across the lake like my father, his father and his father before him?" Granny looked deeply into Mick's troubled brown eyes and said: "Because your father, your grandfather and your great grandfather were all born in December, when the lake is frozen; and you were born in August." |
