Bhí bean ann fadó, Peig Ruadh ab ainm di. Bhí gáirdín beag cabáiste aici. Aon oidhche amháin go ghoid Eoghan Ruadh an cabáiste. Nuair ag fuair sí amach go raibh an cabáiste imthighthe do thosnuigh sí ag gol agus ag caoineach. Dubhairt duine éigin gurb é a driotháir a ghoid an cabáiste. An in a dhiaidh sin chuaigh Eoghan go tigh Pheig agus nuair do chonnaic Peig é do thosnuigh sí ag gol.
Arsa Eoghan leí
"A Pheig Ruadh na n-árann"
Cad é fáth do chaointe?
An í an láir nuadh a fuair bás ort?
Nó an fear grádhmhar bhíodh taobh leat?"
"Ní hí an láir ruadh a fuair bás orm
Na an fear grádhmhar bhíodh taoibh liom" ar sise.
"Acht Eoghan Ruadh gan náire
A tháinig san oidhche.
Do goid mo chabáiste.
Sin é fáth mo chaointe."
