The shopkeeper who was named Mahony said he would give him the bag of meal free if he would carry it home on his back and he would allow him three rests. Padneen brought the bag of meal to Droicead na nGabhar and there he took a rest. He then put the bag of meal on his back and took it home. He had taken it home with one rest and got it free.
