Paddy was trapped in a bog and seemed a goner when Big Mick O'Reilly wandered
by.
"Help!" Paddy shouted, "Oi'm sinkin'!"
Don't worry," assured Mick. "Next to the Strong Muldoon, Oi'm the strongest
man in Erin, and Oi'll pull ye right out o' there."
Mick leaned out and grabbed Paddy's hand and pulled and pulled to no avail.
After two more unsuccessful attempts, Mick said to Paddy, "Shure, an' Oi can't
do it. The Strong Muldoon could do it alone, mebbe, but Oi'll have to get some
help."
As Mick was leaving, Paddy called "Mick! Mick! D'ye think it will help if Oi
pull me feet out of the stirrups?"
