Summary

Biorachan Beag and Biorachan Mòr gathering nuts.

Biorachan Beag and Biorachan Mòr went to gather nuts. As Biorachan Mòr gathered them, Biorachan Beag ate them. Biorachan Mòr went to get a stick to beat Biorachan Beag with so that he would only eat a few nuts. "You can't get me," said the stick, "until you get an axe to cut me." The axe wanted a stone to sharpen it. The stone wanted water to wet it. The water wanted a ship to sail it. By the time he got back to Biorachan Beag he had eaten all the nuts.
