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.

Amach anois muid ar ceithre gcat.

Out now we are on four cats.

Agus em

And em.

Bhí ruball.

There was a tail...

Bhí an robal arís níos faide ná é féin ba in orthu coíche faoi.

The fox was once again longer than himself ever in them about.

Bhí an ruball an-ramhar.

The tail was very thick.

Bhí sé an-ramhar go deo anois. Bhí sé chomh

He was very fat indeed now. He was so.

And what color was it?

Donn agus Dubh

Brown and Black.

Agus ansin ar a aosóg agus ar a chloigeann bhí sé liath.

And then on his youth and on his head he was gray.

Ach bhí sé liath faoi chomh maith, mar a déarfá, agus cosaí beaga i gciortach a bhí air.

But it was gray underneath as well, so to speak, and it had little legs in a tangle.
