uair a chuala e a' ghàir cheudna an treas uair, thuig
e gu'm b' ann o na sithichean a thàinig e; agus

sin dh'iomain e 'n crodh chum na buaile.
Bha na banaraichean 'gam feitheamh, agus ioghnadh

am bleoghainn; ach mu'n d'fhuair iad an leth seachad,
cha robh soitheach air a' bhuaile nach robh ag cur
thairis le bainne. Cha b' urrainn iad a thuigsinn
ciamar a dh' fhas am bainne cho pailt ann an iiine cho
goirid; mu dheireadh, thòisich iad air an t-sld a
mholadh agus a radh gu 'm b' i a b' aobhar do'n

a' bhaile aca-san an latha sin, agus nach bitheadh e
cho pailt an sud cuideachd, na'n do leig esan leis na
sithichean, an uair a bha iad 'ga tharruing g'an
ionnsaidh anns a' choire.
