Seo iad cuid de na nósanna a dheinfeadh siad Lá Bealtaine.Bhíodh siad ag caitheamh sup leis na beithidheach ar eagla go ndeinfeadh na sidheóga dochar ar bith dóibh. Ní thúirfadh siad bainne ná im uatha an lá sin ar eagla go n-éireochaidh rud ar bith do na beithideach bainne. Ní chuirfeadh siad síos teine nó go bhfeicfeadh síad teine i dteacheile sa mbaile ar eagla go mbeadh na sidheóga in-aice an tighe sin. Ní dheinfeadh siad deilbh ar lá na leanbh, le faithcíos go n-eireóchaidh rud ar bith do na caoirigh.Ní cheart bórán nó rilán a fhágáil amuigh san oidhche in-áit a mbeadh capall ar eagla go bhfuigheadh sé bás.(continues on next page)
