Tha mi a鈥� dol a chur cr矛och air an sgeulachd Balgam M貌r. Bha Mac na Banntraich ag iarraidh nighean an R矛gh a ph貌sadh. Ach cha robh an R矛gh de貌nach a nighean a thoirt dha. Bha plana eile aig an Earchlais-脵rlair. 鈥淭hoiribh cuireadh dha do dhinnear,鈥� thuirt i ris an R矛gh. 鈥淒猫anaibh cinnteach gun suidh e air a鈥� chathair mh貌ir. Tha bior nimhe anns a鈥� chathair sin. Cuiridh am bior nimhe 脿s dha.鈥�

Ach chuala Claisneachd Mhath an c貌mhradh. Agus chaidh T貌n Chruaidh don dinnear mar ghille do Mhac na Banntraich. Chuir an R矛gh f脿ilte air Mac na Banntraich. Sheall e dha a鈥� chathair mh貌r. Ach thuirt T貌n Chruaidh gun robh e na chleachdadh dha suidhe anns gach cathair ro a mhaighstir. Shuidh T貌n Chruaidh anns a鈥� chathair. Bhris e gach bior.

Dh鈥檉heumadh Mac na Banntraich an lochan uisge, a bha air mullach na beinne seilge, a thoirt s矛os gu faisg air an L霉chairt. Dh鈥檃ontaich an R矛gh ris a鈥� phlana.

鈥淭ha mi a鈥� cluinntinn rudeigin,鈥� thuirt Claisneachd Mhath.

Chaidh Balgam M貌r don mhonadh. Bha esan math air a bhith a鈥� sr霉badh lochain agus gan sp霉tadh a-mach. Th貌isich e air uisge a shr霉badh is a sp霉tadh. Bha gach n矛 mun chaisteal a-nise a鈥� sn脿mh ann an uisge. Bha an t-uisge a鈥� dol a mhilleadh gach rud.

Dh鈥檌arr an R矛gh air Mac na Banntraich 貌rdugh a thoirt do Bhalgam M貌r gun tuilleadh uisge a dh貌rtadh. Gheall e gum faigheadh e fh猫in a nighean air an oidhche sin.

I鈥檓 going to finish the story Great Gulp. The Widow鈥檚 Son wanted to marry the King鈥檚 daughter. But the King wasn鈥檛 willing to give him his daughter. The Floor-Mischief had another plan. 鈥淕ive him an invitation to dinner,鈥� she said to the King. 鈥淢ake sure that he sits in the great chair. There is a deadly spike in that chair. The deadly spike will kill him.鈥�
