Good evening MacDumm. He's back here weighing out sackfuls of gold. Off they went together, and they came to Alex's door. Alex had finished making the last pile of ten gold pieces. And he couldn't finish because a piece had stuck to the scales.
Hides are worth their weight in gold in the market just now.
MacDugh nudged MacDumm, and MacDumm winked at MacDugh. The next day there wasn't a cow or calf that belonged to MacDugh or MacDumm but her hide was going to the fair in MacDugh's biggest cart drawn by MacDumm's strongest pair of horses. Out came the tanner. Their weight in gold. It's early in the day to come out of the tavern.
