- D'innis fear sgéal dom mar gheall ar mhadra. Bhí fear ag teacht ón Sean Phobal aon oidhche amháin agus nuair a tháinig sé in aice le tigh Sheáin Uí h-Aodha. Chonnaic sé madra anáirde ar an gclaidhe stop sé ag feachaint ar an madra.
Shiubhluigh sé leis agus do shiubhal an madra chómh maith. Bhí sé ag teacht níos mo gach (noimeat) neomat. Nuair a tháinig sé go dtí geata Tomáis Turraoin tháinig solus mór amach as a dhá shúil agus ba dhoigh leat gur gluaisteáin a bhead ann. Chas an madra thar nais arís agus d'imthig an fear abhaile. Níor dhein an madra aon rud leis. Agus is sprid de mhadra a bhí ann.
