  1. (continued from previous page)
    die in the month of March than any any other month of the year because the weather is very severe. there is an old story about an old cow that March tried to kill. It was a terrible battle but in the end the Old Cow was the victor. On the last day of March she cocked her tail boastingly.
    When March saw this he became angry and borrowed three days from April and these were too much to kill the Old Cow. These three days are called "The Three Riabhach Days".
