- Lá Bealtaine – An Bhealtain úr.
D’oibrighthe mórán draoidheacht an lá sin. Bá ag cailleadh bainne – bainne gan im.
Deirtí da mbainfeadh duine sifín cocháin as an tuighe os cionn an árd dorais an chéad lá Bealtaine – go bhfaigheadh sé torradh bainne an toighe sin ar feadh an t-séasúir.
Bhiodh moran daoiní ag cailleadh a gcuid bainne. Is goirid a bhí cás de’n chineál seo sa cheanntar seo. B’éigean de’n t-sagart a dhul fhad leis an teach leis an bhainne fhághail arais. D’iarr sé ar an bhean a chaill an bainne an chuinneóg a líonadh le uisge i sruthan a bhí ag rith eadar dhá baile talaimh. Fuaras an bainne mar seo arais.
