麻豆约拍

Bha mi ag innse dhuibh an st貌iridh An Gille agus an Gobha. Bha ceann na bana-phrionnsa tromach-air-shearrach. Thuirt Iain, an gobha, don R矛gh gun cuireadh e ceart i.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Ghe脿rr e a ceann dhith. Chuir e an ceann don teine. Chaidh an ceann na luaithre. Rinn Iain smugaid. Rinn e taois dhen luaithre. Chuir e an taois air amhaich na h-矛ghne. Ach cha do dh鈥檉h脿s a ceann 脿s 霉r.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Bha an t-eagal air Iain. Bha na freiceadain taobh a-muigh doras na ce脿rdaich. Dh鈥檉heuch e a-rithist e. Cha do dh鈥檕braich e.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 An uair sin, fhuair e sgleog air a chluais. Bha am fear 貌g air a鈥� ch霉laibh. Bha aodach uaine air. 鈥淒h鈥檌nns mi dhut,鈥� thuirt e, 鈥済un a bhith a鈥� d猫anamh an rud a rinn mise. Suidh an sin.鈥�

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Rinn am fear 貌g taois dhen luaithre. Chuir e air amhaich na bana-phrionnsa i. Nochd solas uaine anns an taois. Dh鈥櫭╥rich ceann air amhaich na h-矛ghne. Dh鈥檉hosgail i a s霉ilean agus rinn i g脿ire. 鈥淭iugainn, a ghr脿idh,鈥� thuirt am fear 貌g rithe. Agus thug am fear 貌g seachd buinn 貌ir don ghobha. 鈥淐uimhnich,鈥� thuirt e, 鈥渘a d猫an a-rithist e!鈥�

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 An uair sin, th脿inig cuideigin eile don doras. Dh鈥檉hosgail Iain an doras. C貌 bha ann ach a bhean. Bha i be貌! Chuir Iain a gh脿irdeanan timcheall oirre.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淒猫 tha thu ris?鈥� thuirt i.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淭ha mi ag iarraidh p貌g,鈥� ars esan.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淧貌g?鈥� ars ise. 鈥淐ha d鈥� fhuair mi p貌g bhuat bho chionn bhliadhnaichean.鈥�

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淯ill, bheir mi p貌g dhut an-dr脿sta,鈥� thuirt Iain.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淪guir dhen dol a-mach agad,鈥� thuirt i. Rinn i gearan mu cho beag de dh鈥檃irgead a bha aice. Chuir Iain a l脿mh na ph貌caid. Thug e a-mach na buinn 貌ir.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淐脿ite an d鈥� fhuair thu sin, a bhumaileir leisg?鈥� dh鈥檉haighnich a鈥� bhean.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淣a bodraig le sin,鈥� ars an gobha. 鈥溾�橲 ann dhuts鈥� a tha iad. Agus gheibh mi tuilleadh fhathast bhon R矛gh.鈥�

I was telling you the story The Lad and the Blacksmith. The princess鈥檚 head was on backwards. John, the blacksmith, told the King he would correct it.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 He cut her head off [her]. He put the head in the fire. The head was turned to ash. John gave a spit. He made the ash into a paste. He put the paste on the girl鈥檚 neck. But her head did not grow anew.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 John was afraid. The guards were outside the smiddy door. He tried it again. It didn鈥檛 work.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Then he received a cuff on his ear. The young man was behind him. He was wearing green clothes. 鈥淚 told you,鈥� he said, 鈥渘ot to do the thing I did. Sit there.鈥�

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 The young man made a paste of the ash. He put it on the princess鈥檚 neck. A green light appeared in the paste. A beautiful head arose on the girl鈥檚 neck. She opened her eyes and smiled. 鈥淐ome with me, dear,鈥� said the young man to her. And the young man gave the smith seven gold coins. 鈥淩emember,鈥� he said, 鈥渄on鈥檛 do it again!鈥�

聽聽聽 聽聽聽聽Then somebody else came to the door. John opened the door. Who was it but his wife. She was alive! John put his arms around her.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淲hat are you up to?鈥� she said.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淚 want a kiss,鈥� he said.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淎 kiss?鈥� she said. 鈥淚 haven鈥檛 had a kiss from you for years.鈥�

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淲ell, I鈥檒l give you a kiss right now,鈥� said John.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淪top your nonsense,鈥� she said. She complained about how little money she had. John put his hand in his pocket. He brought out the gold coins.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淲here did you get those, you lazy oaf?鈥� asked his wife.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥淒on鈥檛 bother about that,鈥� said the blacksmith. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e for you. And I鈥檒l get more from the King yet.鈥�
