B. One day a number of huntsmen killed a deer. Being unable to divide the carcass to the satisfaction of all concerned they appealed to a poet named Muiris A'Cairt to suggest a solution to the problem. He did so in the following words:-
"Ceathrú gan roinnte ag Muiris A' Cairt:
Ceathrú agus a leath ag Muiris A' Chairt;
An ceann agus an stéig ag bhuachaillín an t-sleibhe
Agus an croiceann chun bríste Mhuiris."
