    Leipreacháin.
    Níor chualaidh mé ariamh aon ainm ach leipreachán air. Tá cuma sean - duine air agus tá sé timcheall dó nó trí throighe ar áirde.
    Bíonn sean- chóta agus brste beag air. Comhnuigheann se ar an gcnuic.
    Bionn se ag obair i gcomhnuidhe : deirtear gur ag deasugadh broga a bhios se .
    Ta pota oir i bhfolach aige ar an gcnoc , agus duine cliste a cheapfadh e gheobhfadh se an t-or.
    Uair bhi gasur amuigh ar an tsleibh agus chonaic se an leipreachain . Rith se chuige agus fuair se greim air. Dubhairt an leipreachan nach dtabharfadh se an t- airgid do. Annsin chas se e fein agus dubhairt : " Ta d'athair ag blaodhagh ort ." Thionntuigh an gasur thart , ach nior fan an leipreachan nios fuide aige. Ni fhachaidh me leipreachan ariamh .
