    An Dá Sgoláire Bocht.
    Bhí beirt sgoláire bochta ag gabháil an bhóthair. Chuadar isteach idtig oidhche. Bhí mórán daoine istig agus ní raibh marbh ach caora dhubh amháin don sluagh go léir. Do phrioc fear amháin aca an duine eile agus dubhairt leis go m'b'fhearra dhóibh tig éigin eile a bhaint amach. "Thóg bog é go fóil" ars' an sgoláire eile. Níor bhfada gur airigheadar an gleo ag teacht agus tháinig beirt fhear eile isteach agus fiadh mór marbh aca. Ann san do labhair an sgoláire a bhí fábhrach do fanamhaint, le na chara mar seo-
    "Is mairg na cruithnigheann a chiall.
    Is ná cuireann srian lena ghuth,
    Mar nuair a tháinig an fiadh,
    Is maith an biadh an chaora dhubh.
    Bhí seans go bhfaghadh na sgolaírí píosa den gcaora dhubh nuair abhí an fiadh ag gcuid eile.
