    Rí na gCat.
    Fear do mhuinntir Shúilleabháin a bhí ag dul abhaile oidhche go déanach. Mhairbh sé cat. Dubhairt an cat leis thar ar mhairbh sé é:
    "A Shúilleabháin Bhéara ghil
    Fíll agus beir an rún so leat
    Agus innis do Bhruadar phuill na luatha
    Gur bhainis an ceann do Rí na gCat."
    Chuaidh an fear abhaile agus bhí an scéal aige á innsint dá mhnaoi nuair a léim an bruadairín de phiscín a bhí sa cúinne agus strac sé an píobán as fear a' tighe.
