    Share Share Post
    Bhí fear arbh ainm dó 'Davy' ag siubhal uair amháin thar Caisleán na Circe - áit in aice le mo theach-sa. An oidhche abhí ann. Rug Davy ar leipreachán agus thóg sé abhaile leis é agus chuir sé isteach san mbac e. Níor bhain sé a shúile ón leipreachán ar feadh na h-oidhche sin agus ar maidin an lae ar na bhárach tháinig dearbhráthar Davy amach ón seomra agus mas ba gnáthach leis thosuigh sé ag glaodhach ar Davy eirighe. "Ho, Davy! Ho, Davy"! ar seisean. Dhearc Davy thart timcheall, agus annsin dubhairt an leipreachán "Ho Davy, táim ag imtheacht", agus chaith sé an teine ar fud an tighe. Ní fhuair greim ar an leipreachán arís.
