Ged uach do gheall <strong>mi</strong> do d' athair gu <strong>'n</strong> tugainn<br />

Ach feumaidh tu <strong>an</strong> toiscach do mhionn<strong>an</strong> a<br />

Feumaidh i bhith coimhlionta <strong>an</strong>n am<br />

Thug am prionnsa na <strong>mi</strong>onn<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>n-d<strong>an</strong>a <strong>so</strong><br />

<strong>An</strong> sin thuirt e, "Ach, mo<br />

"Tha <strong>mi</strong> ag aidoa<strong>cha</strong>dh," arsa righ nam fathach,<br />

Cha <strong>'n</strong> urrainn sliochd Adhaimh breith a thoirt<br />

Alasnam gu <strong>'n</strong> robh e suidhichte gu <strong>'n</strong> cumadh e<br />
ri 'fhacal.<br />
Thug righ nam fathach dha <strong>an</strong> sgath<strong>an</strong>, agus<br />
thuirt e ris: "Sin agad <strong>an</strong> sgath<strong>an</strong>, a mhic; faodaidh<br />
tu tilleadh uair sain bith a thogras tu."<br />
Ghabh am prionnsa agus Mobarec <strong>an</strong> cead de<br />
righ nam fathach, agus dh' fhalbh iad thun <strong>an</strong><br />

iad mar a rinn e roimhe. Rai<strong>ni</strong>g iad far <strong>an</strong> d'<br />
fhag iad na seirbhisich, agus thill iad air ais gu<br />

<strong>An</strong> uair a chuir Alasnam beag<strong>an</strong> laithe<strong>an</strong> sea<strong>cha</strong>d<br />

"Ra<strong>cha</strong>maid do Bhagdad a shireadh maighdirm a<br />

"Car <strong>so</strong>n <strong>nach</strong> 'eil sinn <strong>an</strong>n <strong>an</strong> Cairo " arsa<br />
Mobarec. " Nach fhaigh sinn maighdionn<strong>an</strong><br />

"Tha thu ceart gu leor," ars' am prionnsa; "ach<br />
cia mar a gheibh sinn fios c'aite am bheil iad"<br />
"Na cuireadh sin dragh sam bith ort, mo thighearna,"<br />
arsa Mobarec, "is aithne dhomhsa se<strong>an</strong>a<br />

<strong>An</strong> uair a dh' irmseadh do <strong>'n</strong> t-se<strong>an</strong>a tnhnaoi<br />

chuireadh dearbhadh orra leis <strong>an</strong> sgath<strong>an</strong>, <strong>cha</strong><br />
robh a h-aon diubh freagarrach gus a toirt <strong>an</strong><br />
lathair righ nam fathach.<br />
<strong>An</strong> uair a chunnaic iad <strong>nach</strong> robh aon mhaighdionn<br />
bheusach, bh<strong>an</strong>ail ri fhaotainn <strong>an</strong>n <strong>an</strong><br />

Bha doctair a' fuireach <strong>an</strong>ns a' chearn ud dhe<br />

uaibhreach, eudmhor, arda<strong>nach</strong>. Bha fuath aige<br />
do na daoine saoibliir a chionn gu <strong>'n</strong> robh e fein<br />

Alasnam, agus air a' phailteas a bha <strong>'n</strong>a thaigh.<br />
Bha <strong>so</strong> gu leor gus a thoirt air fuath a thoirt do<br />

Bha <strong>'n</strong> sluagh cho furasda ri<strong>'n</strong> comhairlea<strong>cha</strong>dh<br />
's gu <strong>'n</strong> do chreid iad a huile facal a thuirt Mus<strong>an</strong><br />
riutha, agus a dh' aon ghuth thuirt iad ris,<br />
"Is e do ghnothach-sa th' <strong>an</strong>n, a dhoctair: in<strong>ni</strong>s<br />

Chaidh <strong>an</strong> doctair dha<strong>cha</strong>idh agus e gle thoilichie,<br />
agus sgriobh e iarrtus a bha e gus a chur<br />
air beulaobh <strong>an</strong> righ air <strong>an</strong> ath latha.<br />
Ach bha Mobarec <strong>an</strong>ns <strong>an</strong> eaglais aig uair na<br />
h-urnuigh, agus chual' e, cho math 's a chuala<br />
each, a h-uile facal a thuirt <strong>an</strong> doctair. Chuir e<br />
coig ceud bonn oir <strong>an</strong>n <strong>an</strong> neapaiginn, agus, comhladh<br />

dh' fhalbh e leotha do <strong>'n</strong> taigh aig <strong>an</strong> doctair.<br />
<strong>An</strong> uair a rai<strong>ni</strong>g e, labhair <strong>an</strong> doetair gu cas,<br />
gruamach ris, agus dh' fheoraich e ciod a bha e 'g<br />
iarraidh. Fhreagair Mobarec gu ciuin caoimhneil,<br />
agus thuirt e ris, agus e cur <strong>an</strong> t-sioda <strong>'n</strong>a<br />
laimh, "A dhoctair, is <strong>mi</strong>se do choimhearsnacb<br />

Bhg aoibhneas thar tomhais air <strong>an</strong> doctair,<br />
agus labhair e mar <strong>so</strong> ri Mobarec: "Mo thighearna,<br />

Air <strong>an</strong> ath latha <strong>an</strong> deigh na h-urnuigh mhaidne,<br />
