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?"
