    After a time Paddy arose and drank it and went back to bed.
    Awhile after that the other two arose to look for the bottle. Paddy heard them and pretending that he was only awaking asked them what they were looking for. They said "nothing". Well said Paddy "If you are looking for "nothing" you will get it in that empty bottle on the table"
