    said Small Mick. The man went in and Small Mick went away with his sheep. Big Mick drowned the man. And when he was coming home he met Small Mick and he asked Small Mick where did he got the sheep. He said he got them in Tir na nÓg and they are more there for who ever would be there first. When they came to Tir na nOg there was a big hole and Small Mick "lifted" him. He went home and he got married again and he lived happy after.
