The father has them trained. Trial of their handiwork. The fighting master swings his sword so fast that it does not become wet in a heavy rain; the barber shaves a running hare; the blacksmith shoes a horse while it is galloping.
“There was once a king long ago and he had three sons.”
“Once upon a time, a man had three sons, and he was just as fond of one as he was of the other.”
“Bhí fear ann fadó, agus bhí triúr mac aige. Nuair a bhíodar fiche bliadhain, chuir sé ag foghlaim céirde iad.”
“Bhí ceathair dearbhreacha ann fadó agus ní raibh aon deis maireachtála acu. Chuaidh siad go ceann ceithre bóithre; chuaidh duine acu soir, duine siar, duine ó thuaidh, duine eile ó dheas.”
“Bhí fear ann fadó agus bhí ceathrar mac aige.”
