A bheil thu "Girl Scout" a-riamh? Bha mi, o chionn fhada. Bha mi "Brownie". Bha mi glè thoilichte.
Chaidh mi air gabhail a-steach anns an Brownies. Chan eil e rùn agus chan eil cuimhne orm mu an dheas-gnàth. Agus tha cuimhne ormsa an sgeulachd math gu leòr.
O chionn fhada bha fear ann, an coilltear bochd. Cha robh bean aige ach dà nighean aige. Bha a nigheanan glè fhiadhaich, bha iad a' ruith tron taigh a-riamh, bha iad a' dèanamh a h-uile rud triomh-a-chèile agus cha robh fios aig an coilltear bochd dè b' urrain dhasan a dhèanamh. Bha e ag ràdh gun feum e "brownie" a chuideachadh. Bha na caileagan ga h-èisteachd. Shocraich iad air a lorg "Brownie". Ach ... c'àite?
Smaoineach iad gun robh tè ann a bha fios aice. Sin a' chailleach-oidhche glic a bha a' fuireachd domhainn anns an coille. Ach bha i a' dùisg aig oidhche a-mhàin. Bha eagal air an dà nighean aig an coilltear bochd. Chuir a' choille aig an oidhche eagal orrasan. Dè bha gur chòir dhaibh a dhèanamh?
Tha mi sgìth a-nis. Bidh mi a' sgrìobhadh an còrr ann am post eile.
Were you ever a "Girl Scout"? I was, a long time ago. I was a "Brownie". I was happy.
I was initiated into the Brownies. It isn't a secret and I dont' remember the ritual. But I remember the story well enough!
A long time ago, there was a man, a poor forester. He had no wife but he had two daughters. His daughters were very wild, they ran through the house always, they made everything a confusion and the poor forester didn't know what he could do. He said that he needed a brownie to help. The girls heard him. They decided to look for "Brownie". But ... where?
They thought that there was one who knew. That was the wise owl who lived deep in the woods. But she was awake only at night. The two daughters of the poor forester were afraid. The woods at night scared them. What should they do?
I'm tired now. I'll write the rest in another post.
