    Nuair tháinich an banbh bocht do dtí an droichead chonnaic séan féar glas ag fás ar bhruach na habhann. Stad sé agus thosuigh sé ag ithe. Bhí an féar an-mhilis. Isteach leis níos fuide, isteach leis ins an sgraitgliogar, síos leis an gclabar agus san bpuiteach. Chuir sé aon " gioc", gioc" mór amháin as, agus d'imthigh sé síos go tón puill. Sluigeadh é.
    Rinne an tsean bhean ceiseach amach go dtí an áit a bháidheadh a peata, acht ní raibh aon mhaith ann. An créatúir bocht: d'imthigh sí abhaile suas an bóithrín agus isteach ins an sean-teach. Ní raibh rud ar bith aice anois. "Ó", ar sise, "an mí-ádh mhór, an mí-ádh mór! mo bhanaibhín beag, mo chuid, mo stór."
    Seo rann do bíodh sí ag rádh i gcomhnuidhe tar éis sin.
    Muca beaga! Muca beaga!
    Muca beaga bána!
    Muicín as tigh Sheáinín.
    Cheannuigh mise banaibhín
    Cheannuigh Taimín péidhre,
    Cailleadh muca Thaimín bhoicht
    Tamall roimh an aonach.
