After a while máere had all the meat cut into pounds and had a pound of meat for each head of cabage in the garden. She said she would leave it out until séan would come home.
When Seán came home he asked her had she a pound for every head in the garden. She said she had and she left it out until he would see it.
When Seán went out to see the meat he seen all the dogs go the village in the garden and all the meat eat with them.
