The couple lived on a lonely farmhouse and longed for the children that never came. One day they heard about a custom of lighting a candle in Lourdes which was supposed to bring offspring so off went Paddy to Lourdes and lit the candle.
Well would you believe it?
Each year after that a child arrived and the couple were-strangled trying to provide for them. When child number thirteen was about two weeks old the local clergyman visited the farmhouse and found the wife alone feeding the thirteenth arrival.
‘Where’s Paddy?’ asked the priest.
Without raising her head the wife grunted:
‘He’s gone to Lourdes to put out the flaming candle.’
