    Seana Sgéul
    Bhí fear ann fadó, ná raibh ach aon mach amháin aige. D’fás an mach suas agus thug a athair an feirm dó. Taréis tamaill do phós an mac. Bhí na triúr achu ag ithe lá, an t-athair, an mach agus an chailín. Ní leigheadh an mach an t-athair aon chuid de’n ímh d’ithe agus dúbhairt an t-athair.
    “Gabháilt do’n tuagh ar dhrom mo mhuiníl
    An té a thabharfadh a chuid do mich ná íngean
    Do dhíolas cun bíadh dhuit, mo dhruimeann sa cró.
    Agus ní íosfainn-se an t-ím,
    Agus tusa as mo cómhair,
    Do chiorras go mín thú, go minic sa ló,
    Is ní íosfainn-se an t-ím,
    Agus tusa ó’s mo chómhair.
