- 22 He is wondering like Seamus's wether.One day a man was going to the fair of Borris to sell 2 sheep. His name was Seamus. One of the sheep had the gig. He had the 2 sheep tied together because a sheep that have the gig is always staggering and always keeps his head up in the air. The reason he had the 2 sheep tied together was for the good sheep to hold up the sick sheep. When he was on the fair a man came up to him and asked him why the sheep was holding up his head and Seamus said he was wondering at all the big houses.
