Scéal fiannaíochta sa tsraith Fionn don aoisghrúpa 8-10.

Lá amháin, nuair a bhí Fionn i mBinn Éadair, chonaic sé bád ag teacht i dtír. Léim gaiscíoch mór láidir as an mbád. ‘Caol an Iarainn is ainm dom,’ a dúirt sé. ‘Mura bhfuil duine anseo a bhuafadh orm i rás, gearrfaidh mé cíos ar mhuintir na hÉireann.’ Bhí laochra na Féinne i dTeamhair ag an am, agus ní raibh a fhios ag Fionn cá bhfaigheadh sé duine a rithfeadh rás dó. Leis sin, tháinig bodach mór buí chuige agus a chóta fada lachna anuas go talamh ina dhiaidh. ‘Rithfidh mise in aghaidh Chaol an Iarainn duit,’ a dúirt Bodach an Chóta Lachna.

One day, when Fionn was in Howth, a boat came ashore and a great big warrior jumped out. He said he would tax the people of Ireland If there wasn’t someone in Ireland who could outrun him in a race. . At that, a great big clumsy-looking fellow appeared, and said he would race him …
