    There were two men cutting bedding in Cúaileach. The two of them started to fight. One of them hit the other one with the scythe and cut his head off. While he was falling he threw the scyth at the other man and cut his head off also. The Coileach Bhéarra jumped from Whiddy Island and landed on top of a stone named Cúaileach and the print of her foot is on the stone still. The Coileac Béarra saw them and this is what she said.
