An mac: Ta mé a gul a ceannach caiplé; cé'n sort caiplí a cheannóchas mé?"
An gobán: Faigh céad-ocht má fhéadann tú é; nó má fhághann tú capall sliogánach riabhach bíonn siad an-docht, an-righin; nó má fhághann tú capall cíor, ar dhath na luiche, bíonn siad an-chruaidh; nó má fághann tú capall dubh-chosach , donn, iongna chupáin agus fiacla sliogáin agus carr cailín óíg' , tabhair leat í.
