  1. The old cow was very thin during the Winter and she had no grass to eat. When March was over she raised her tail and said "No more trouble." when March saw this it borrowed three days from April to skin the old cow and these three days are calle "Trí Lá na Riobhach."
    The old cow died and was skinned.
