“Oidhche amháin nuair a bhí mo mhathair ag teacht abhaile ó fháire agus gan aon dhuine i aoinfeacht leí.”
Oidhche amháin nuair a bhí mo mhathair ag teacht abhaile ó fháire agus gan aon dhuine i aoinfeacht leí. Nuair a bhí sí ag teacht tríd pháirc shíl sí gur chualaidh sí duine ag tógailt an hata sí. Cúir sí a lámh in a póca agus thúg sí amach an chorain mhúire agus thosuigh sí ag guidhe go duthrachtach agus bhí mo mhathair ar crich agus ag cúir alluis fuair. Nuair a bhí mó mhathair ag dúl trasna na abna atá síos céad troighthe o’n toigh leim an rúdh mór dubh isteach ins an abhainn. Nuair a bhí mó mhathair ag doras an toighe scairt sí fá coinne cúpa uisge agus thúg mo athair é dí agus d’ol sí suid de. - Collector
