    Bhí fear amuigh sa choill lá, ag sealgaireacht agus do bhuail an fhiach dubh uime. D'iarr an fiach dubh air gan a gheárrcaig féin a mharbhú in aon chor. "Cad é an dath iad" ars an sealgaire. "Siad na h-éin is gile sa choll iad" ars an fiach dubh. Bhí an fear ag lámhach leis i rith an laé agus níor lámhaig sé aon éan gheal. Um thráthnóna, bhuail an fiach dubh uime agus d'fhiafruig sé de cad a bheir do a éin a mharbhúghadh. Dubhairt an fear nár mhairbh sé aon éin gheal ach gur mhairbh sé na h-éin dúbha. "Ná fuil fhios agat gur gheal liom-sa mo gheárrcaig féin" ars an fiach dubh. Deirtear ó shoin gur geal leis an bhfiach dubh a geárrcaig féin.
