The work grew still slacker and the quarry was closed up, because there was not enough to keep both of them.The son said to his father he would go and look for work. So he went away and the father had no tidings of him.After three weeks the father (told) went out on the rock and the dog followed him. The father told the dog "go after him".The dog went and after three weeks the dog returned with the son. He had been working in a quarry in Kilkenny. When they returned the father was dying so he lived to see his son once again.The quarry is still called "Sheas Quarry".
