Bhí fear agus bean na gcómhnuidhe thiar ar a t-sliabh am a droch shaoghail. Bhí cupla barraille phréataí aca, agus ní rabh aon cheann ag na cómhursanaigh nach rabh lobhtha. Chúmhdaigh an fear go maith iad, agus diarr sé ar a bhean gan a ghabhail da gcomhair go dtigeadh lá an earraigh, agus go bhfuigheadh siad saidhbhreas airgid ortha san am sin.
Bhí an t-an ganntanas san chómhursanacht agus moran ar bhruach báis le h-ocras. Thoisigh an bhean a thabhairt na bpréataí daobhtha i gainfios d’a fear. Bhí sé gha deánamh seo rith a gheimhridh, agus go fóill níor reath na préataí amach. Thainig an t-earrach. Chuaidh an fear fhad leis an pholl ar chuir sé na préataí ann. Bhí eagla a h-anam ar a bean, acht bhí an poll comh lán as bhí sé ag Samhain.
