   Bhí beirt ógánaig ag íarraidh cailín a phósadh. Oidhche stoirmeach bhí an beirt aca sa tigh ag seancaidheacht. Séid an gaoth go dían agus teastuig ó'n bfeirmeóir go raibh an cailín aige an beirt do cuir amac ag dainginiú is ag ceangail na cocaí. D'éirig duine aca ac d'fan an fear eile istig leis an gcailín. Nuair a tháinig an feirmeóir isteach bhí sé ar buille cun an té d'fan istig "Ní h-é lá na gaoithe lá na scolb" adubairt an fear a d'fan istig agus fuair sé an cailín. All that you have added to what you have got makes a little bit more Always taking out of the bag never putting in soon comes to the bottom A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge A patch upon a patch is better than a hole and too many patches are ugly to be seen The sleeping fox catches no poultry Fools make feasts and wise men eat them A good word in the court is better than a pound in the pocket
