As they were going out Fionns wife said that the wind was on the door and Fionn took the house in his arms and turned it round about. Fionn then took up a big stone and threw it a few fields away. "Now" said Fionn "where will you throw it to". "Ah" said the Giant "I would not throw it much farther," but tell me where would your father throw to".
