    Chuamar go tigh Mhicilín Eoin agus fuaireamar réal ann. As san linn go tigh Thaidhg Óig. Bhí Tadhg Óg istigh agus bhí sé ag magadh fúinn agus á rá ná raibh ceol ná rince againn; ach nuair a bhíomar ag imeacht thug sé scilling dúinn agus thug bean a dhearthár réal dúinn.
    We went to Micilín Eoin’s house and got sixpence there. From there we went to Taidhg Óg’s house. Tadhg Óg was inside and he was making fun of us, saying that we couldn’t sing or dance; but when we were leaving he gave us a shilling and his brother’s wife gave us sixpence.
