    Story: THE SEAN RIABHACH
    There was once an old speckled cow. The winter came cold and wet, but it did not kill the cow. Her owner thought she would live for another year, but March made a bet that it would kill the old cow. March came and went and still she was alive. So it had to borrow ten days from April to kill the cow. Before the end of the ten days the old cow died.
    Since then the first ten days of April are called , “The Sean Riabhach’
