  1. Comhairle an Athar dá Mhac

    Share Share Post
    Bhí fear ann fadó agus bhí aon mhac amháin aige peata ab’eadh é agus ní raibh aon tathaighe aige ar aon rud. D’fhás sé suas na fhear gan mhaitheas agus bhí an athair ag dul i gcríonach. Bhí aonach capall ins an mbaile ba ghiorra dhó agus do theastuigh capall ó’n mhac. Mar dúbhras ní raibh aon mhaith ann agus níor thuig sé cionnus capall do cheannach. Sar ar thosnuig sé ar a thuras do dthí an aonach, d’iarr sé dá athar cad ba ceart dó do dhéanamh agus is é an freagra a thug an sean-duine dó.
    Anois a mhic is orm atá
    Mo cómhairle do thabhairt-se dhuit - is gádh
    Cheapas féin a mhic mo chroidhe
    Gur ceart chómhairle do leasa do lúigh
    “Má seadh, cuimhnig ar an méid seo i gcómnhuidhe”
    Cheannuig capall ar a trí
    Is díol ar a seacht
    Is geallaim-se na beidh tú coidhche
    Gan capall sar a mhaith
