Bha grunn bhràithrean air an aon fhearann. Thòisicheadh a’ briseadh sìos nan tacannan ’s a toirt seachad fearainn. Thuirt am bràthair bu sheana, leis an robh am fearann air an robh na bràithrean, “Tha sibh ceart gu leòir fhad’s a bhios mise beò ach as mo dhéidh-sa chan eil fhios dé a dh’fhaodas tachairt. Mar sin chomhairlichinn dhuibh sealltainn a mach air bhur son fhéin fhad’s a bhios an cothrom ann.” Thuirt bodach mu an nì a bha seo: “Ma thà, ’s ann a bha an duine glic ann Iain MacDhòmhnuill, an cuspar a thug e do an fheadhainn eile.”
