The ‘Cearc’ had all her ‘chickens’ strung along behind her, each clasping the one in front round the waist, the nearest one to the ‘Cearc’ clasping her. The ‘Fox’ came along and pretended to dig in front of the Hen, who asked him: “De tha thu cladhach ann a shen? [?]” “Tha mi lorg snathad.” “De tha thu dol a dheanamh leis an t-snàthaid?” “Tha mi dol a dh’fhuaigheal pac.” “De tha thu dol a dheanamh leis a phac?” “Tha mi dol a chur gual ann.” “De tha thu dol a dheanamh leis a ghual?” “Tha mi dol a dheanamh teine.” “De tha thu dol a dheanamh leis an teine?” “Tha mi dol a chur prais air.” “De tha thu dol a dheanamh leis a phrais?” “Tha mi dol a chur feòil innt.” “De an fheòil?” “Tha feòil do chuid iseanan is tu fhein as an deidh.” The Hen, with arms outstretched like wings, tried to guard her brood, while the Fox captured them, one by one.
