irish storyteller

there was once a man whom had no luck
everytime he shaved, he would cut himself badly
everytime he went to get in the bathtub, the phone would ring
and by the time he had gotten out to get the phone, the other person had hung up
so one day he said to himself "i shall go find god, and ask him why my luck is so bad, and what i should do about it"
so he started walking
and he walked and walked and walked
then sat down and got a drink from a well
and he heard a moaning sound from behind him
so he looked over to find a wolf. the wolf asked the man "where are you going?"
the man replied "i am going to find god, to ask him why my luck is so bad and how i can fix it"
the wolf said "oh, if you could ask him for my why my stomach hurts and what i could do about it, then tell me, i will be very greatful"
so the man said "very well" and continued along his way, and walked and walked and walked
he then reached an old apple tree and picked a few apples to eat
then he heard a moaning agian, but looked behind him to find noone.
once mor he heard the moaning and he looked up at the tree and the tree was moaning
the tree asked him "where are you going?"
the man said "i am going to ask god why my luck is so bad, and what i can do to fix it"
and the tree said "oh, could you ask him why my roots hurt, and what i could do to fix it?"
the man said "yes, i will do that for you" and continued on his way
then he stopped at a cabin and heard a wailing from inside
he knocked on the door and the most beautiful girl he had ever seen opened the door. she asked him where he was going and he said "i am going to find god and ask him why my luck is so bad and how to fix it"
the young woman told him "if you do find god, could you ask him why i am sad and cry so very often?" the man told her he would do that and off he went
the man walked and walked and walked
into the wilderness, through coudersport pensylvania and a few miles past that to the end of the earth
and he called out "GOD?! ARE YOU THERE??"
and god replied "what do you want?"
and the man asked why he had such terrible luck and god told him
"you do not have terrible luck, you just need to find your grand luck"
he also asked the questions for the tree the woman and the wolf and got all their answers
so he began walking back and made his way to the cabin with the young misstress
and he told her "god said that you are sad all the time because you are lonely, and that you should marry"
the woman said "ah, well i have seldom met a man living here in coudersport and all, and i find you very handsome. i have enough money for us both to live nicely off of. would you marry me?"
and the man told her "oh no, i have to go out and find my good luck"
so he went off back to the tree, and the tree asked if he had found god, and he said yes, and told the tree
"the reason your roots hurt is because you were planted on top of a great treasure, and you should remove it so that you can grow further'
and the tree asked him "would you like to dig the treasure out for me? i have no hands, and if you did you could keep it for yourself, because i have no use for money"
and the man said "certainly not, i have to go out and find my good luck" and he left the tree behind to continue his journey
finally he reached the well, and talked to the wolf "god said the reason your stomach hurts is because you are hungry. and that you should eat the next fool you come across"
and with that the wolf gobbled the man up,
the end
