    Bí fear óg sa gClocán, an Iar-Chonnacht fadó agus ba é a cheird gabhaneacht. Thárla go raibh an am go dona an uair sin agus ní raibh aon obair le déanamh aige dubhairt sé go rachadh sé ar thóir oibre agus páighe.
    Bhí sé ag imtheacht go dtáinic sé go Gaillimh. Tháinig sé go ceardchain agus díarr sé obair ar an gabha. "Ní féidir liom thú a choinneál acht trí lá acht mar sin féin fan". Nuair a bhí na trí lá thuas dubhairt an gabha leis "tá brón orm nach féidir liom thú a choinneál níos fuide mar is tú an gabha is fearr sheas i mo ceardchain ariamh." Níl aon neart air ar seisean ag imtheacht leis.
