Ceart fished it out with a hair of the horse's mane and out jumped the King. It was now Cearts turn to hide. He hid at the root of the horse's mane. The King searched high and low and could not find Ceart. The second day he hid himself under one of the horses back teeth. The third day behind a nail of his shoes. But the King could not find him.

King Rory gave the Kingdom to Ceart.
