Turas Siar 148 - Pádraic S. as an gCartúr ag caint le Máirtín Mac Donnchadha

Cnálaí an-trom air agus cloigeann an chait ach raibh sé i bhfad níos mó ná cloigeann caite agus ní raibh cluais ar bith air cluais ar bith féin ní raibh le feiceáil air ach ba é déanadh cloigeann an chait a bhí air agus súilí móra ann agus bhí féasóg fhada air, féasóg an-fhada trom.

A very heavy skull on him and the head of the cat but it was much larger than a cat's head and there was no ear on it, no ear at all was visible on it but it was the shape of a cat's head that it had and big eyes in it and it had a long beard, a very long heavy beard.
