“Seo sgéal beag agus ramas a chualaidh mé go minic ag mo mháthair, go ndéanaidh Dia trocaire ar a hanam.”
Seo scéal beag agus ramas a chualaidh mé go minic ag mo mhathair, go ndéanaidh dia trocaire ar a hanam. Silim gur ag bean suíbhail a chualaidh sise é nuair a bhí sí na páiste. Seo mar théid an scéal.
Cailín a bhí ann a rabh beith bhuachall ag teacht anois agus aríst ag cuairt chuicí.thigeadh go minic, agus ní thigeadh an buachaill acu a Bhí buachaill eile ach go h-annamh. Ba ar an bhuachaill nach dtigeadh ach go hannamh a ba mhó a rabh áird aici. Tharla lá amháin go dtaince an bheirt bhuachall i gcáideachta a cheile. Seo mar chuair an cailín fáilte rompa:-
"Céad fáilte romhat a mhinic a thig,
'Gus do chéad míle fáilte a mhince nach dtig, mo chreach a's mo chrádh nach é minic nach dtig. A thig leath comh minic le minic a thig.
Bhí leagan béarla aicí ar an fháilte mar seo:- I drink the good health of often who came and often came not i also must name, but often came not i must also blame that he came not as often as often who came.
