  1. Once upon a time there lived an old cow and she got it very hard to live through the winter. When the end of March was out she turned her back to March and said that she did not care that for it. March heard her and he borrowed three days off April. These three days came cold and rough and at the end of the third day the old cow was skinned. these three days are called "Trí Lá na Riabhaiche",
