    darbh ainm Cunningham a rabh muileann plúir aige.Lá amháin bhí a mhac 'na shuidhe i mbád beag amuigh ar pholl ins an abhainn nuair a thoisigh an fhearthainn ag tuitim iongantach trom go tobann. Ga mhoill, thainig tuile mhOr anuas an abhainn tionntuigheadh an bád agus báitheadh an mac.
    Tamall 'na diaidh sin bhí fuinneadóird darbh ainm Cunningham 'na chomhnuidhe ins an bhaile seo. Lá amháin bhí a mhach óg ag shuibhal ar chois na habhna agus madadh leis. Chaith sé giota de bhata inteach ins an abhainn agus léim an madadh isteach 'na dhiaidh . Bhí an bruach iongantach árd agus ní rabh sé abalta fágail amach arís . Chom an buachaill anuas le é a thogailt aníos as an uisgeacht chait sé isteach ar mhullach a chinn agus báitheadh é.
    Níor báitheadh duine ar bith ins an abhainn sin agus mar sin tá duinne eile darbh' ainm Cunningham le báitheadh ann go fóill.
