|ShortDescription=Short episode in the ''Táin bó Cúailnge'' (Recension I and II) in which Fergus praises the young hero Cú Chulainn.

|Summary=Ailill asks Fergus about Cú Chulainn's age. In both recensions, Fergus replies that despite the hero's youth, Ulster knows no better or fiercer warrior. Medb questions Fergus' assertions saying that a youth of his age cannot have developed the qualities of an adult warrior. Fergus retorts that even in his younger years, Cú Chulainn performed the deeds of a man. | |Summary=Ailill asks Fergus about Cú Chulainn's age.
