   tinn san áit chuirtí ann é. Ba le Eamonn Ua Cuimmín an pháirc an t-am san. Ba shean-athair don Chuirríneach, máightir an chuain anois in Dúngarbhán, an Cuimmíneach san.

   Shin í sar an ghrian
   Dhá láimh fén a giall
   Fáinne óir ar a méir
   Thug sí léim tar Tigh Chiúin *
   Léim na corra brice báine
   Mar bhí sí ag suirighe leis an mBreach Ruadh.

   *(Tigh Chiúin : Cahill - máighistir scoile a bhí i mBaile an Róid timcheall 30 bliadhain ó shoin.)

   When the hedge-hog wants an apple he climbs up the tree and shakes a bough till the apples fall. Then he comes down and rolls on the apples until some stick on the quills on his back. Then he walks off home and has a good feed. When he wants a drink he comes up very easy to a cow that's chewing the cud and starts to drink her. Some cows won't let him but others will stretch the upper hind leg out of his way to give him a chance.
