    "No", said the older brother you're too greedy. Seamus wanted to go down then, Domhnaill gave him a shove and down he went. When he was going down his mouth made a noise with the water going down his throat. Sean said to Domhnaill "what is he saying? He is calling the sheep there'll be a big flock in it the day." "Shove me down quick" says Sean. Domhnaill shived him down and he lived in peace and plentiness ever after.
