At the Gaelic college, my Gaelic class did a play based on a Cape Breton story. I was one of the narrators. Here is a video showing the same story, animated. Enjoy!
Thanks to Gaelcast.
Aig a' Cholaiste Ghàidhlig, rinn mo chlas Ghàidhlig cluich à Cheap Bretainn (sp?). 'S e narrator a bh' annam. Seo bhideo mu dheidhinn an sgeul sin, animated. Tha e gle mhath!
Le taing do Gaelcast.
(I know it's all in Gaelic, so if you would like a rough translation please leave a comment saying so. :)
Uh, I do. You silly girl. :)
ReplyDeleteHey! I was just uploading a new post when I nearly fell over when I saw "1 comment". Okay... here's a somewhat abbreviated version:
ReplyDeleteSo there's a humpback. He's an old man and his name is Donald.
One day he walks out in the forest. He hears music and he sees some fairies dancing and singing:
Monday, Tuesday
Monday, Tuesday
Monday, Tuesday
He yells, "Wednesday". The fairies take him to their king.
The king says that he put a beautiful ending to their song and offers him anything he wants. Silver? Gold?
Donald puts his hand on his back. The king of the fairies makes it disappear with his magic wand.
The next day, Donald is walking on the road and he meets an acquaintance. He's a fool and he is a humpback too. He asks Donald what happened to him. Donald tells him.
The next day, the fool is walking in the forest and hears music and sees the fairies dancing and singing:
Monday, Tuesday
Monday, Tuesday
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
The fool calls out, "Thursday". The fairies take him to their king. The king of the fairies says, "You ruined our song, and now I'm going to ruin you." And the king takes his magic wand and takes the hump that was on Donald's back on the fool's back. And he went home with two humps.
So there ya go! :)
