    Beg did it for him. That night the cats came, and the old cat said;- "Last night, Murrough Beg was here and he heard what I told you. In the morning he went and cured the princess. Now let you search again and if you got him tear him in pieces." The cats began to search and before long, they found Murrough Mor. Then, they tore him in pieces believing it was Murrough Beg. Ever after that Murrough Beg and the princess lived in happiness.
