AN GAIDHEAL.
An t-Samhuin, 1945.
robh e. Bha coltas feargach air, agus thuirt e “ gur ann aige
a bha na drooh sheirbhisich ” oir “ bhris iad long mo bhaird-sa,
agus ghoid iad a chuid, agus cheangail iad clach mu a mhuineal.
A nis, faigh thusa an fhirinn bhuapa, airneo tachraidh nithean
iongantach dhuifc fhein de nach bi thu idir buidheach.”
Chuireadh na seirbhisich an laimh, agus cha do dh’ aicheidh
iad a bheag. Chaidh an leigeil mu sgaoil. Ghiulain iad corp
Hallfredhar gus an eaglais agus chaidh a thiodhlacadh ann an
doigh jomchuidh. Binn iad cailis de na fainneachan,
comhdach air son na h-altarach de ’n chleoc, agus coinnleir
de ’n chlogaid.
Agus is e sin bas Hallfredhar am bard.—(Hallfredhar Saga.)
Modh a’ Bhocain.
Anmoch feasgar, uair a bh’ ann, bha duine araid am muigh
am bun a chuid chaorach. Ciod e bhuail trasd air an sin ach
bocan fliuch le sal Agus thainig an rud cho dliith dha is nach
robh ann da ach tionndadh air fhiaradh a mach air mol an
dubhchladaich agus gabhail d’ a chois troimh an uisge leth ri
beul na tuinne. Chunnaic an duine nach fhaigheadh e air
adhart air an doigh sin agus, ann am mullach na feirge—oir
bha e tighinn anmoch agus cha bu mhoide sin fhaidhidinn—
thug e aghaidh gu h-anfhurasach air a’ bhocan, ag gabhail da
le a bhata air an robh bior iaruinn. Rinn mo laochan as air
teicheadh, agus fhuair an duine tighinn suas o ’n chladach.
Cha deachaidh e fada nuair a choinnich e duine eile. Thug
e a bhoineid a nuas da agus bheannaich e dha, is e air mhiann
faighneachd mun rathad, agus gun e cinnteach c’ ait an robh
e. Thug am fear eile a nuas ad is ceann beo slan le cheile.
Thug fear nan caorach sathadh clis d’ a bhata, agus bha e ’ga
chumail eadar ceann is amhach air chor is nach b’ urrainn
do ’n bhocan e fhein a chur ri cheile a rithist; ach b’ fheudar
dha tionndadh air a shall is tilleadh an car a thainig e. Fhuair
fear nan caorach an rathad is thug e a mach an tigh.
Tha an aon rud fior mun bhuidsear agus mun bhocan. Ma
chlthear iad a’ toirt an cinn bharr an guaillean is gun teid
rudeigin a sparradh eadar ceann is amhach, cha teid aca air
iad fhein a thhthadh ri cheile a rithist.—(Uppvakningar og
Fylgjur.) Deorsa Caimbeul Hay.
