Na Rubálaidhe

agus nuair a thainic sé ag a' doras

and when he arrived at the door

bhí an teach dorcha

the house was dark

fuaigh sé suas ag a' tine

he went up to the fire

agus chuir sé a lámh síos

and he put his hand down

le haghaidh a fódaí a thabhairt aníos

for to bring up the sods (of turf) from below

le solas a thabhairt dó

to give light to it

bhuail an chat, le brac a crúba, é

the cat attacked him with its claws

agus léim sé anonn ag a drisúir

and he jumped over to the dresser

agus bhuail an gandal ghé lena sciathán é

and the Gander hit him with his wing

agus nuair a ghabh sé go doras eile

and when he went to the other door

bhuail eh, an chaora lena cnagann é

the sheep hit him like a hammer

agus chaith sé taobh amuigh é

and he thew him outside

agus

and

bhí an tarbh

the bull was

chaith sé suas ar a chloigeann é

he threw him up on his head
