    B. How Egan O'Reilly divided the Goose. At one time Egan O'Reilly was staying in a house. A Goose was prepared for dinner. The husband and wife could not decide as to how the goose shouild be divided amongst those who were for dinner. The man of the house appealed to Egan to solve the problem. The following is the solution he proposed:-
    "Bíodh ceann an ghé ag ceann an tighe,
    Agus an claithan clé 'gá mhnaoi:
    Na cosa do'n cois muinntir (children)
    Agus an bolg mór thimcheall do'n stróinséir."
    An stróinséir = Egan O'Reilly.
