    An t-Iasc Mór.
    Bhí amadán ann uair amháin agus níor bhféidir leis aon obair a dhéanamh. Chaitheadh sé gach aon lá ag fiadhach coinín nó ag iasgaireacht i Loch Measga. Bhí slat breágh iasgaigh aige, agus is minic a ghabhadh sé bric mhóra ins an loch.
    Lá amháin nuair a bhí sé ag iascaireacht ghabh sé bradán mór agus thug sé leis abhaile é agus bród an-mhór air. D'itheadar an bradán agus mholadar an t-iascaire go mór.
    Cúpla lá 'na dhiaidh sin nuair do bhí an t-amadán ag dul ag iascaireacht arís casadh iascaire eile air, agus d'fhiafruigh dhe an raibh an bradán a ghabh sé an mhór.
    "Ó," ars an t-amadán, "nuair tharraing mé amach as an uisce é do thuit an t-uisce troigh san loch."
