CUHULLIN: (still staring) He must have a powerful set of teeth!

NARRATOR 1: Now, this was just what Oona was hoping for.

OONA: Oh, a grand set. Just slip your finger in there to feel
them. (to FIN) Open your mouth now, baby, and let the nice
man put in his big, strong finger. (gives him another big wink)

NARRATOR 4: So Cuhullin slipped his great right forefinger
into Fin’s mouth.

OONA: (to CUHULLIN) Push it well in, till you feel the back ones.

NARRATOR 2: Cuhullin pushed in his finger as far as it would go.

NARRATOR 3: SNAP!—Fin bit it off, swallowed it, then leapt
from the cradle.

FIN: (whoops with delight)

CUHULLIN: (roars with pain and holds up his hand with the
forefinger missing, staring at it in disbelief)
