Bhíodh na mná ag obair ag déanamh claidheacha agus aon obair eile a tháinig rompa. Ní raibh na fir in ann aon obair a dhéanamh agus dá bhrígh sin bhí sé ar na mná a dul amach ag obair as saothrú airgid chun maireactáil. Uaireannta chífeadh an t-uachtarán na fir agus na mná ag dul i lairge. Len a ais agus bhíodh sé air a druim a compód uatha mar ní raibh de chroidhe ann iad do cur ón obair. Gheibhidís ceithre pighne in aghaidh an lae. Bóithre is mó a dhéanfaidís. Ar deireadh thug mín buidhe dóibh saor. Bhí na daoine cóimh lag sin 's mach rabhadar in ann a dul go dtí an baile mór le na aghaidh agus fuair a lán aca bás dá bárr sin.
