Is iomadh fear a th猫id le eallaich ri seachdain chruaidh na caillich. Nis, 鈥檚 ann air seachdain toiseach a鈥� Ghiblein a tha an seanfhacal seo a鈥� bruidhinn; seachdain rin cainnte 鈥渁鈥� chailleach鈥�.

Chan eil fios a鈥檓 carson is e sin an t-ainm a bh鈥� oirre, ach 鈥檚 e seachdain de sh矛de gu math cruaidh a bh鈥� ann 鈥� f矛or chaoile an earraich. Agus mun 脿m sin, bhiodh beathaichean gu math acrach, agus dh鈥檉heumadh daoine, ma bha iad airson an cumail be貌, dh鈥檉heumadh iad a bhith gu math frithealteach orra le beathachadh is biadh. Agus sin mar a bha an seanfhacal ag r脿dh, gum biodh daoine a鈥� falbh le eallaich, man feur, neo bat鈥� fon achlais, dol a bheathachadh beathaichean. 鈥橲 ann gun toireadh iad troimh鈥� iad gu 脿m breith nan uan.聽

Bhiodh seo gu s貌nraichte f矛or nam biodh sneachd ann agus nach fhaigheadh beathaichean air am beag no m貌r a bh鈥� anns an talamh, a thoirt 脿s.聽

Gl猫 thric mun 脿m sin dhan a鈥� bhliadhna, thig sneachd cuideachd, d矛reach nuair a bha daoine a鈥� smaoineachadh gun robh 鈥檔 aimsir dol a dh鈥檉h脿s na b鈥� fhe脿rr 鈥檚 na bu bhl脿ithe 鈥檚 na bu charthannaich.

Ailig: Bha a h-uile baile l脿n charactaran, is bha br脿thair m鈥� athair, bha e gu math eirmseach, agus mo sheanair cuideachd tha e coltach. Is tha cuimhn鈥� a鈥檓 st貌iridh a bha m鈥� athair ag innse dhuinn o chionn bhliadhnaichean.

Bha Tarbh a鈥� Bh霉ird tha mi a鈥� smaoineachadh, bha e a鈥� tighinn dhachaigh, agus bha mo mh脿thair, is a-rithist mo mh脿thair 鈥檚 i a bha, bha m鈥� athair ag obair feumaidh, agus th脿inig am fear a bha seo a bha ceangailte ris a鈥� bh貌rd, bha e a鈥� dol a thoirt an tarbh air ais leis, agus th脿inig e chun an doras agus thug mo mh脿thair a staigh e agus thuirt e...

Iain: An duine neo an tarbh?!

Ailig: (a鈥� gaireachdainn) Tha mi a鈥� smaoineachadh gur e an duine! Agus, thuirt e, bhruidhinn e ri mo mh脿thair, agus thuirt mo mh脿thair ris, 鈥淥h thig a-staigh is n矛 mi sr霉bag dhut mus t猫id sinn s矛os dhan t-seada鈥�, thuirt i. Is bha an duine, bha e ro thoilichte beagan aoigheachd fhaighinn, is ghabh iad cupa t矛, is mar a bha mi a鈥� canail, bha m鈥� athair, bha e an ceann a鈥� chuid obrach, agus an ceann beagan 霉ine, thuirt e, 鈥淯ill, 鈥檚 fhe脿rr dhuinn a dhol s矛os agus coimhead ris a seo鈥�.

Is thuirt ise, 鈥淯ill, tha, tha e anns an t-seada鈥�, thuirt i.

鈥淢ath dha-r矛ribh鈥�, ars an duine, so nuair a bha iad a鈥� dol s矛os, thuirt ise ris, thuirt i, 鈥淚f you take it鈥�, cha robh G脿idhlig aige, thuirt i, 鈥淚f you take it by the ears鈥�, thuirt i, 鈥渁nd I鈥檒l take it by the back end... by the rear end, by the tail鈥�, thuirt i. Mar sin.

Thug an duine, thug e s霉il oirre, agus cha tuirt i an c貌rr mu dheidhinn.

Is thuirt e, 鈥淒猫 thuirt thu ann a shiud?鈥�, is thuirt i, 鈥淯ill ma gheibh thusa gr猫im air na... gheibh mise gr猫im air na cluasan aige, is ma gheibh thusa an ceathramh deiridh.

Bha d霉il aicese gun robh e鈥� tighinn airson a bag of wo... for the wool! Bha a鈥� chl貌imh fh猫in a鈥� falbh, ach 鈥檚 e bha esan ag iarraidh ach am bull. 鈥淚鈥檓 here for the bull鈥�, thuirt e!

Is bha an duine, bha e a鈥� smaoineachadh gun e fuamhair a bha na mo mh脿thair. Bha i a鈥� dol a dh鈥檉haighinn gr猫im air cluasan an tairbh.

Bha an taigh ann an Surrey, faisg air Cranleigh. Air an d霉thaich a bha e, taigh m貌r, eireachdail, suidhichte ann am fichead acaire fearainn. Timcheall air, bha g脿rradh a bha st猫idhichte bho chionn linntean le seann chraobhan agus lianagan r猫idh, 脿lainn air an cumail gu grinn. Bhon gheata mh貌r, iarainn, suas gu ruige an doras aghaidh leis na colbhan spaideil, Greugach, bha rathad c貌mhnard d矛reach agus r霉m gu le貌r air beulaibh an dorais airson treud ch脿raichean.聽

Dh鈥檃ithnicheadh duine le aon s霉il na cheann nach robh an teaghlach leis an robh an taigh gann de dh鈥檃irgead, ach cha b鈥� ann le teaghlach a bha e. Ghluais Rolls Royce glas suas chun an dorais-aghaidh gu r猫idh, s脿mhach. Th脿inig chauffeur agus chamois aige na l脿imh a-mach agus thoisich e air a shocair a鈥� glanadh uinneag aghaidh a鈥� ch脿ir. Bha e greis aig a sin gus an tug e f貌n-l脿imhe 脿 seacaid na deise aige. Goirid 脿s d猫idh sin th脿inig an duine a-nuas na steapaichean, an duine leis an robh an taigh. Jon Fairly.聽 Jon gun an 鈥渉鈥�, ach Slim dhan fheadhainn a b鈥� fhe脿rr a dh鈥檃ithneachadh e. Cha b鈥� e gur e seo an aon taigh a bh鈥� aige, eireachdail 鈥檚 gu robh e. Bha taighean aige air feadh an t-saoghail, ann am Paris, New York, Na h-Eileanan Cayman agus iomadach 脿ite eile.聽

B鈥� e aon dhe na daoine a bu bheartaiche san d霉thaich agus cha robh e ga fhalach ann an d貌igh sam bith. 鈥橲 ann a bha e pr貌iseil 脿s mar a bha e air faighinn air adhart na bheatha.聽
