Scéalta Chois Cladaigh

is é

it is

Bhí famailí mór insa teach

There was a big family in the house

d'imigh chean acu amach

one of them went out

ar chaoí éicint, agus ..

in some way, and...

bhí sé imithe, ach

he was gone, but

tháinig sé agus ní raibh sé i gceart

he came and he wasn't right

mar duine eile, mar a chuid eile

like someone else, like the rest of them

Bhíodh sé ag scríobadh

he used to be scratching..

's ag tarringt na gruaige de na páistí eile

and pulling the hair of the other kids

agus ag ghoil thart

and going around

ag ralampaeraíocht

ar fud an tí

all over the house

gan bun ná barr lena ghnoithe

without any sense to his business

Ach d'inis sé don tsagairt é

but he told it to the priest

Chuaigh an tsagart ag léitheoireacht

The priest went reading (studying)
