- Bhí beirt fhear ar a laetha saoire ar Oileán na Caillighe i Loch Measga. As Sasana do b'eadh iad. Chuaidheadar amach le fear as an áit seo lá amháin ag iascaireacht. D'eirigh stoirm mór ar an loch agus bhí an bád ag luasgadh anonn is anall ar na tonntracha móra ar nós faoileán.
Bhí faitchios an domhain ar na Sasanaigh. Dubhairt an bádóir leo go raibh aithne aige ar gach carraig i Loch Measga.
Niorbh fhada gur caitheadh an bád suas ar charraig.
Dubhairt duine de's na Sasanaigh "Ceap mé gur dhubhairt tú go raibh aithne agat ar gach carraig ins an loch" leis
"Tá leis" ars an fear, "sin ceann aca aníos". - Scéal

Ansinn dubhairt an fear.
"An bhfaca tú mé ariamh ag goid aon rud?"
"Ní fhaca mé," ars an sagart.
"Bhuel nach féidir leat é sin a chuir síos" ars an fear.- Collector
