Ba mhaith leis an mac comhairle a atar do bheith aige sar a bfaghfadh an t-atair bás agus do chuir se an ceist cuige mar seo :-
Ta dís bhan ag sior- cur buartha im ceann
Ta ba caoirig ag mnaoi aca cruacha is clann
Ta dhá ros mhin ag mnaoi aca na gcuaca leabhair
‘Sa a dhaoine, an fhios díbh ciaca is snuachar ann.Do labhair fear na leaptha mar leanas
A mhic a chroidhe istig, má bhionn do snuachar ann
Leig-se díot an crion- bean do tóg a clann
Cuir do chroide ins mnaoi na gcuaca leabhair
Go bfuil a dá ros mín mar fhír- uisge fhuar i ngleann.
