Once Finn MacCool and his hunters were discussing the "finest music in all the world." The question was posed as a riddle. What is the finest music in the world? One hunter said it was the sound of a stag belling across the lake. Another said it was the sound of rain falling on the leaves. The laughter of a young girl, suggested one of them. The sound of dogs yelping during the chase, or water falling over stone, or the wind in the grass. Each hunter had a candidate for the finest music in the world.

Then they asked Finn what he thought it was. He answered, "The finest music in all the world is the music of what is happening."
