  2. Leipreacháin

    Share Share Post
    Is mó sgéal greannmhar a bhí le cloisint sa tsean-aimsir mar gheall ar an leipreachán. Chreid na sean-daoine dá bhfaighidís greim ar an leipreachán go bhfaighidís pota óir agus sin é an fáth go mbídís ar a thóir.
    Bhí leipreachán in-a chomhnuidhe in-aice le Sliabh Calláin. Tháinig fear treasna air uair amháin agus é ag obair thuas i gcrann mór agus peidhre bróg ar crochadh ó gach géag de'n chrann aige.
    "Tá tú agam anois" ars an fear. "Is fada bhíos id' lorg agus caithfidh tú peidhre bróg nua a thabhairt dom."
    "Dá dtugainn peidhre bróg duit-se agus do ghach duine dá bhfuil id'dhiaidh bheinn féin gan peidhre bróg" arsa an leipreachán.
    D'fhéach an fear siar thar a ghualainn agus ní fheaca sé duine in-a dhiaidh. Nuair a thug sé aghaidh ar an gcrann arís ní raibh leipreachán ná bróga le feiscint aige agus b'éigin do imtheacht abhaile leis na sean-bróga a bhí air roimhe sin.
    Deir na sean-daoine go mbíonn an leipreachán i bhfeighil a chuid oibre go h-an-cruaidh lá Bealtaine agus dá brígh sin théigheadh na sean-daoine á lorg an lá sin.
