Tha seann sgeulachd agam dhuibh. 鈥橲 e an t-ainm a th鈥� oirre Mar a bha Fionn ann an Taigh a鈥� Bhl脿ir Bhuidhe. 鈥橲 e an tiotal sl脿n oirre Mar a bha Fionn ann an Taigh a鈥� Bhl脿ir Bhuidhe 鈥� Gun Chomas 脠irigh no Laighe. Th脿inig i bho Alasdair Camshron aig deireadh an naoidheamh linn deug. Bha Alasdair 脿 脌ird nam Murchan. Bha e ag obair air an rathad eadar D霉ror is Baile a鈥� Chaolais. Fhuair e na sgeulachdan aige bho sheann daoine anns an sg矛re.

Rinn mi an sgeulachd na bu sh矛mplidhe. Agus rinn mi na bu ghiorra i. Ach tha mi an d貌chas gun c貌rd i ribh. Co-dhi霉, seo i 鈥� Mar a bha Fionn ann an Taigh a鈥� Bhl脿ir Bhuidhe:

Bha Fionn agus a dhaoine a-muigh a鈥� sealg. Thug Fionn s霉il s矛os an gleann. Chunnaic e fear 貌g a鈥� tighinn. Th脿inig am fear 貌g. Chuir am fear 貌g f脿ilte air Fionn. Chuir Fionn f脿ilte air an fhear 貌g.

Thuirt am fear 貌g gur e gille a bh鈥� ann. Bha e ag iarraidh maighstir. 鈥淭ha gille a dh矛th orm,鈥� thuirt Fionn. Dh鈥檉hastaich e an gille. Cha robh Conan toilichte. Cha do ch貌rd coltas a鈥� ghille ris.

鈥淒猫 do dhuais?鈥� dh鈥檉haighnich Fionn dhen ghille.

鈥淕un tig sibh uile c貌mhla rium gu cuirm nuair a tha an 霉ine agam seachad,鈥� fhreagair an gille. Bha e gu bhith c貌mhla ri Fionn airson latha is bliadhna.

Chaidh an 霉ine aig a鈥� ghille seachad. Bha Fionn agus a dhaoine a鈥� dol a dhol c貌mhla ris a鈥� ghille gu cuirm. B鈥� e sin duais a鈥� ghille. Bha an gille luath. Bha e ceannruisgte is casruisgte. Chaidh e o bhealach gu mullach. Chaidh e o mhullach gu gleann. Chaidh e o ghleann gu srath. Dh鈥檉halbh Caoilte 脿s a dh猫idh. Ruith Cuchuilinn 脿s d猫idh Chaoilte. Bha na daoine eile 脿s d猫idh Chuchuilinn. Bha iad anns an 貌rdugh sin nuair a r脿inig iad am Bl脿r Buidhe.

Nuair a bha iad uile ann, chaidh an gille m貌r gu taigh m貌r br猫agha. Chaidh na daoine uile a-steach. Fhuair iad 脿iteachan suidhe ris a鈥� bhalla 鈥� ach Conan. Cha robh r霉m aigesan. Shuidh esan air leac an teine. Ach cha robh sgeul air a鈥� chuirm. Cha robh sgeul air biadh sam bith. Cha robh c霉isean mar bu ch貌ir. Ch矛 sinn d猫 thachair an ath-sheachdain.
