Then he came in and asked for something to eat and Finn's wife made a big cake and put the griddle into the heart of it and when it was baked she gave it to Monover. Monover found the cake very hard but he was ashamed to say anything. When he had it eaten the teeth in his mouth were all lost. Then he went out to take a drink in the stream and Finn's wife threw an arrow into the stream and Monover bent down to take a drink and the arrow went into his mouth and stuck in his throat.
Monover died after that and he was buried up on the side of a hill. When Finn came and saw what happened Monover he was very angry and he said it was unfair to treat a man in this way.
