    Béaloideas – Scéal
    Timpeall céad bliain ó shin nuair a thosnaigh an Béarla ar bheith á mhúineadh sna scoileanna anso fuair leanaí na háite ana-scanradh ad iarraidh é a fhoghlaim. Lá amháin duairt athair buachaillín áirithe leis cead a fháil ón máistir teacht abhaile go luath sa tráthnóna chun aire a thabhairt don ghabhairín bán a bhí tar éis breith, agus seo mar a iarr an buachaillín an cead:-
    My Daddy tell me to have I to tell you to have you to tell me to go home for the gabhairín bán did lay a mionnán thíos i bpáircín a’ bhóthair and the maggotty pie [ = magpie] would pick out his eye unless I weren’t there to mind him.
    Níl an scéal chomh holc san againn anois.
