    Share Share Post
    Bhí garraidhe beag thuas ag barr
    a bhaile a dtiubhradh siad garraidhe
    Maoral air. Bhíodh chuile rud curtha
    ag Maoral. Bhí das mór gabaiste
    ann. Bhí Maoral istigh tráthnóna
    agus d'airigh sé rud eicínt istigh
    faoí das. D'arduigh sé suas an das
    agus chonnaic sé fear beag faoí
    an das agus casúr aige. Rug sé
    ar cúl cinn air. "Ó muise an tú
    an Leipreachán? Má's tú chaithfidh tú
    pota óir a thabhairt domsa, suil
    dá leighidh mé amach thú".
    [sin thall] Féach an charraig
    sin thall tá an t-ór faoí. Nuair
    a bhreathnuigh an fear ar a cúl
    bhí an Leipreachán imthighthe.
