Tha mi ag innse dhuibh an sgeulachd thraidiseanta 鈥淒iarmaid agus Gr脿inne鈥�. Tha i ceangailte ri Beinn Ghulbain ann an Gleann S矛dh. Theich Diarmaid le Gr脿inne. Ach bha ise fo ghealladh-p貌saidh do Fhionn.

Bha Gr脿inne air a dhol an aghaidh Dhiarmaid, ge-t脿. Bha Diarmaid a鈥� sabaid le Ciofach Mac a鈥� Ghoill. Stob Gr脿inne sgian ann an cas Dhiarmaid.

Theich Diarmaid. Bha e be貌 air 猫iginn. Dh鈥檉h脿s fhalt. Dh鈥檉h脿s fheusag. Bha iad cho fada 鈥檚 nach do dh鈥檃ithnich duine e. Chaidh e far an robh Gr脿inne agus Ciofach. Ach dh鈥檃ithnich Gr脿inne e. Thug Ciofach ionnsaigh air. Ach bha Diarmaid l脿idir. Mharbh e Ciofach. Agus theich e a-rithist.

Lean Gr脿inne air Diarmaid. Lorg i e. Bha an sgian a stob i na chois fhathast ann. Cha b鈥� urrainn dha a toirt 脿s. Tharraing Gr脿inne a-mach i. Bha eagal air Diarmaid gun robh Fionn a鈥� dol ga lorg. Ch霉m iad a dol. Lorg iad allt. Thog iad taigh. Ach bha leapannan air leth aca.

Bha Diarmaid a鈥� d猫anamh shoithichean fiodha a-rithist. Bha na sliseagan a鈥� dol s矛os leis an allt. Latha a bha seo, bha Fionn a鈥� sealg anns an sg矛re. Chunnaic e na sliseagan.

鈥淚s iad seo sliseagan Dhiarmaid,鈥� thuirt e.

鈥淐han iad,鈥� fhreagair c脿ch. 鈥淐han eil Diarmaid be貌.鈥�

Glaodhaich iad. Fhreagair Diarmaid iad. Oir gheall e gun robh e a鈥� dol fhreagairt glaodh na F猫inne an-c貌mhnaidh. Chaidh e s矛os airson coinneachadh riutha. Choinnich e ri Fionn. Chuir Fionn d霉bhlan roimhe. Bha Fionn fhathast ag iarraidh d矛oghaltas. Dh鈥檌arr e air Diarmaid an torc nimhe air Beinn Ghulbain a mharbhadh. Ghabh Diarmaid ris an d霉bhlan.

Lean Diarmaid air an torc airson l脿ithean. Mu dheireadh, fhuair e faisg gu le貌r air airson a mharbhadh. Thill Diarmaid. Thuirt e gun do mharbh e an torc. Ach bha Fionn fhathast feargach is eudmhor. Bha fios aige gun robh aon laigse aig Diarmaid. Bha ball-d貌bhrain aige air bonn a choise. Bha comas aig calg tuirc Diarmaid a mharbhadh. Bha sin le bhith a鈥� briseadh a鈥� bhuill-dh貌bhrain. Ch矛 sinn d猫 thachair anns an ath Litir.
