'My cave is just here, said the Dog of Maol-mor, of whom Covan son of Gorla had heard much. 'Spend the night here, and you shall be fed on the flesh of lamb, and shall lay aside three-thirds of thy weariness. And Covan entered, and supped, and slept, and in the morning rose up a new man. 'Farewell, Covan, said the Dog of Maol-mor.
And so it always happened, and Covan's courage had well-nigh failed him, when the thought of the Dog of Maol-mor darted into his mind. 'Oh, that he was here! he cried. And looking up he saw him. 'Why did you summon me? asked the Dog of Maol-mor.
'May success go with you, for you took what I had to give and did not mock me. So, when danger is your companion, wish for me, and I will not fail you. At these words the Dog of Maol-mor disappeared into the forest, and Covan went to seek his cows, which were standing in the hollow where the darkness had come upon them.
And Covan answered: 'The old man bade me bring her, and the duck with the golden neck, and the salmon with the silver sides, to his cottage; if I shall catch them, I know not. But carry you the roe to the back of the cottage, and tether her so that she cannot escape. 'It shall be done, said the Dog of Maol-mor.
