- (continued from previous page)The two men were to meet at the chapel gate. The man who was coming out of the grave-yard thought that the man and the cripple on his back was the man and the sheep. He called to the man who had the cripple "is he fat or thin?" The man who had the cripple called let him be fat or thin here he is to you and he dropped the cripple. The man who had the sheep dropped it and ran also. The cripple got up and ran and he was home before the man who had carried him to the chapel.Collected by Rose Doherty Lowertown Malin
