    B. A woman who had two farms of lands had a servant boy who had a great appetite. One day when he was eating his breakfast he said:-
    "Do thabharfainn an baile seo agus Baile na Buaite (the second farm)
    Dá mbeadh mo ghoile agam
    Chomh maith leis an mbuachaill."
    The servant boy then said:-
    "Dá n-éireóchthá ar maidin
    Agus greas do bhualadh,
    Agus siubhal ó'n mbaile seo go dtí
    Baile na Buaile,
    Do bheadh do ghoile agat chomh maith leis an mbuachaill."
    greas do bhualadh = To spend a while threshing oats with a flail, or scotching it.
