    Sgéal Greannmhar.
    Bhí fear ina chomhnaidhe i dteach uair amháin agus ní rabh aon duine ann ach é fhéin. Bhíodh na cearca istoigh ins an teach fosta. Thárla go rabh madadh ruadh ag dul bealach a’ toighe oidhche amháin, agus bhí poll mór ar a’ doras comh mór agus go dtiocfadh leis fághail isteach.
    D’fheach sé isteach agus chonnaic sé na cearca istoigh. Isteach leis ar am pholl. Bhí leabaidh sa’ cludaigh agus cuilt breagh air.
    Cuaidh an fear idir an madadh ruadh agus an doras ionnus nach dtiocfadh leis fágail amach. Smaoitigh sé ar chleas. Thoisigh sé ag tarraingt an chuilt fhad leis an teinidh. Thug an fear iarraidh ar an cuilt le na shábhail. Leig an ghadaidhe amach an cuilt agus amach ar a pholl leis.
