It is said that there was a challenge between. The month of March and an old cow. March said it would bet anything that it would kill the old cow. The severe weather of March did not succeed. The cow began to run round the field and cheer, when the end of the month came. Then March got vexed and borrowed three days from April to kill the old cow.
