   Paddy was another day and he was walking along the quay and he saw a great big ship and it there beside the quay. He saw the great big anchor and it there on the strand. Paddy thought it was a great big pick and he was looking at it for a long time and wondering at it, but he couldn't get over it. At last he sat down on it and remained there for three or four hours. There was a man belonging to the ship and he saw Paddy sitting on the anchor and asked him why he was there all day, and Paddy said he was waitin' to see who was goin' ta use the big pick.
