A man came into a Wood one daywith

A man came into a Wood one day
with an axe in his hand,
and begged all the Trees to give him a small branch
which he wanted for a particular purpose.
The Trees were good-natured and gave him one of their branches.
what did the man do but fix it into the axe head,
and soon set to work cutting down tree after tree.
Then the trees saw how foolish they had been
in giving their enemy the means of destroying themselves.

Tháinig fear isteach i Adhmad lá amháin
le tua ina láimh,
agus begged go léir na Crainn a thabhairt dó brainse beag
a raibh sé ag iarraidh chun críche áirithe.
Ba iad na Crainn dea-natured agus thug sé ar cheann de a n-brainsí.
Cad a rinne an fear a dhéanamh ach é a shocrú isteach an ceann tua,
agus go luath a leagtar a bheith ag obair gearradh síos crann i ndiaidh crann.
Ansin, chonaic na crainn conas ideal raibh siad
a thabhairt a n-namhaid na modhanna scriosadh iad féin.
