    the people began to light a huge fire. Then they laid the corpse on the fire and it began to roast. At length one of the men jumped up and asked each man in succession to turn the body, but they all refused until it came to the last man. He jumped up and said in a loud voice "Who shall turn the body but Michael Mc Keon in the tree." Mc Keon was forced down the tree, but as soon as he touched the corpse he fainted. When he returned to consciousness he found himself lying at the gate of the field where he kept his cattle.
