- Bhí fear ann uair agus bhí sé pósta. Bhí sé féin ana-chiúin agus bhí a bhean ana-chrosta.
Bhí iníon aige agus bhí sí an-chiúin leis. Bhíodh a mháthair i gcónaí á bualadh. Bhí an cailín bocht go léir gearrtha.
Gach aon oíche nuair a théighidh a mháthair a codladh bhíodh sprid istigh sa seomra. Sa deire bhí an méid sin eagla uirthí go dúirt sí leis an sprid "In ainm Dé cad atá uait?". Arsa an sprid "Má leagann tú lámh ar an gcailín tichfaidh mé arís".
D'imigh an sprid agus níor tháinigh sé arís. Bhí saol maith ag an gcailín as san amach agus bhí an tigh ana-chiúin aca.
