    Once upon a time there lived a rich land lord in Murrisk. All the land of Murrisk belonged to him.
    There was a certain woman that was not able to pay her rent. She was very poor and she had no way of earning her living. Her only support was a cow and calf.
    When the time came and the woman was compelled to pay her rent, she had to sell her cow and calf in order to pay it. However she was able to pay the rent this time but when her turn came again she had no cow or calf to sell and she was not able to pay the rent.
