    he got tired of it. He wanted to go back to the Fenians and she didn't want to let him go, at last she gave him a horse to go, She told him not to put his foot to the ground or he never would be happy again. He went off and he came to a few men who were trying to lift a big stone. Oisin thought the big stone only a pebble and he began to laugh at them, he told them they were terribley weak. He jumped off the horse. When he put his foot to the ground fell. He was a withered old man at that instant. The horse that Oisin came on to the men ran back to Tir na Nog
