Tha sinn a鈥� tighinn gu deireadh na seann sgeulachd Fionn ann an Taigh a鈥� Bhl脿ir Bhuidhe. Chaidh Fionn is c脿ch cuide ri gille fuadain. Bha iad ann an Taigh a鈥� Bhl脿ir Bhuidhe. Bha iad a鈥� leantainn ris na ballachan is ris an 霉rlar. Cha robh comas aca 猫irigh.

Airson a bhith saor, bha iad feumach air fuil. Fuil mic R矛gh Innis T矛le. Nuair a th脿inig ciaradh an fheasgair, thuirt Fionn ri Oscar, 鈥渂idh an fhuil agad a-nochd.鈥� Dh鈥檉halbh Oscar is Laoghaire gu beul na h-abhainn.

Th脿inig sluagh m貌r. Bha mic R矛gh Innis T矛le ann. Thug Oscar ionnsaigh air an t-sluagh mh貌r. Thug Laoghaire ionnsaigh air mic an R矛gh. Bha buaidh aig Oscar. Cha do dh鈥檉h脿g e aon duine be貌. Chaidh e far an robh Laoghaire. Bha l脿mh-an-uachdair aig Laoghaire.

Ach chunnaic Oscar an fhuil. Bha i a鈥� taomadh air an l貌n. Th貌isich Oscar air an fhuil a chur ann an cupaichean. Ach mun robh na cupaichean l脿n dh鈥檉h脿s na cuirp rag.

Dh鈥檉halbh an d脿 laoch leis an fhuil a bh鈥� aca. Chaidh iad don taigh anns an robh Fionn agus a dhaoine. Thuirt Fionn, 鈥淪uathaibh an fhuil ris a h-uile p矛os dhibh a bheanas don taigh.鈥� Rinn Oscar is Laoghaire sin. Chaidh iad a-staigh. Th貌isich iad air na daoine fhuasgladh. Shuath iad fuil ri gach p矛os dhiubh a bha a鈥� leantainn ris a鈥� bhalla, no ris an 霉rlar. Dh鈥檉huasgail iad mar sin gach duine. Ach aon duine 鈥� Conan. Cha robh fuil gu le貌r aca airson Chonain. Bha a cheann ceangailte ri leac an teine.

Dh鈥檉halbh Fionn. Bha e gu math toilichte. Cha deach e fada, ge-t脿. Bha Conan a鈥� tighinn. Th脿inig C貌nan. Bha e gun fhalt is gun chraiceann eadar a cheann agus amhaich. Nuair a dh鈥檉hairich e gun do dh鈥檉halbh c脿ch, thug e slaodadh m貌r air a cheann. Dh鈥檉h脿g e fhalt is a chraiceann ceangailte ri leac an teine. On latha sin a-mach, thuirt daoine ris 鈥淐onan Maol gun Fhalt鈥�.

Chaidh Fionn agus a dhaoine dhachaigh. Thuirt Fionn nach robh e a鈥� dol a dh鈥檉hastadh gille fuadain tuilleadh.
