  1. Long ago there was a man that had a cow. It was during the month of March and he kept her in every day because the weather was very bad. One day in the of March he let out the cow because the day was fine. The cow began to jump with delight because March was gone so the month of March borrowed three days from April which are called the riabhóg days and they were so cold that they perished the cow.
