    Tomhais:
    Rachaidh mise ‘na chlúide
    A’s dheánfaidh mé an chuis a chleacht mé.
    Buailfidh mé fionnadh ar fionnadh,
    A’s béidh dhá chnapán dubha eatorra.
    (Druidfidh mé mo dhá shúil a’s rachaidh mé a chodladh)
    Tomhais:

    (Fágfaidh tú áit ag duine eile).
    Tomhais:

    Agus níl sé amuigh no istoigh.
    (Sin cása an dorais)
