- Chómnuigh mo shean athair i dtigh beag in aice le Cnoc Ruadh. Tuairim is fiche bliadhain ó shoin thuit an capall áluinn a bhí aige tinn. Oidhche amháin d'fhan mo shean-athair in a suidhe ag faire ar an gcapall.
I lár na h-oidhche d'fosgladh an doras agus tháinig marcach ruadh isteach agus fuipín in a láimh aige. Gan focal a rádh le mo shean-athair shiubhal sé anonn go dtí an cúinne, thóg sé an srían a bhí crochtha ar an mballa agus amach leis.
"Tá mo chapall marbh arsa mo shean-athair in a aigne féin". D'imthigh sé amach chun é a fheiceál acht mo léan bhí an capall sínte marbh ar an urlár.
Duine de's na sídheóga as Cnoc Ruadh a tháinig agus an capall do ghoid leis mar bhí sé ag teastáil go géar uathu.
