Lás coinnéal choinnig da méar os choinne lasadh na coinnle go dtí go dtuitfeadh trí deora as do mhéar. Níl mise abalta sin a seasamh arsa seisean. Bhí beo nó bhí marbh. Sgairt sé ar an darna mach an rud ceadhna a deanamh agus dubhairt sé nach rabh sé ábalta sin a deanamh. Sgairt sé ar an fear is óige go dtí go ndeanfaidh sé an rud céadhna. Choinnigh sé a mhéar os coinn lasadh na cóinnle gur thuit na trí deora as a mhéar. Tchídhimh thusa an fear is dílse damsa. D’imtigh an tsean duine tharraing sé air tiomna mór fada agus d’fág sé deiread a cuidh saidhbhris ag an fear ar thuit na trí deora is a mhéar.
