imithe ag na robálaithe.

gone with the robbers.

ach tháinig ionadh an domhain air, ní raibh stoca insa bpáirc nach raibh

but he was very surprised, there wasn't a stook in the field that wasn't

Chuir sé síos a lámh

He put down his hand

Dhearc sé uaidh

He looked out

agus nuair a bhí sé go díreach ag barr an dréimire shíl sé go raibh rud éigin ag tochas ar lorgain

and when he was right at the top of the ladder he thought that something was scratching his ankles.

bhí an fód deiridh tiontaí aige.

He had the last sod turned.

agus turn eilí an gheimhridh ní iarrfaidh mé féin ar an láirín

and I will not ask the mare to do another turn of work this winter

Tharraing siad an t-ualach isteach insa scioból

They drew the load into the barn.

slataí bheaga le haghaidh boscaod agus ciseán

Small rods for boxes and baskets

ceann deiridh

final one

beidh scíth agam anois, tig liom coladh.

I'll have a rest now, I can sleep.

mharaigh sé agus bhain sé an craiceann dhaoithe

He killed and skinned it

go díreach nuair a thanaic sé in aice leis bhí an punann deireadh

just when he came near it the last sheaf

nuair a thainic an t-ualach uirthí

when the load fell onto her

céard a bheadh ann ach dreancaid

What would be there but a flea
