    There is a story connected with this proverb.
    Bhí bean an uair amháin agus bhí sí féin agus a chéile i gcomnuidhe ag achrann act sa deire thuit an fear tinn agus fuair sé bás. Nuair tháinig sí abhaile ó'n tsochraid.
    Bhí an teach go han cuinn agus dubhairt sí "Dá donna é Séamus is fearr (fearr) é ná an eaghmuis".
