Raidio

It’s clear that people of the area didn’t have much. No one had a TV and the parish only had 2 radios

Is léir nach raibh móran ag muintir na háite. Ní raibh teilifís ag éinne agus Ní raibh Ach dhá raidio sa pharóiste

But the poverty doesn’t put a restriction on the humour in the story

Ach Ní chuireann an bochtanas srian ar bith ar an ngreann sa scéal

The author creates a very funny image of his father when he was stuck to the radio

Cruthaíonn an t-údar íomhá an-ghreannmhar dá athair agus é greamaithe dá chuid raidió

The neighbour gets an awful shock one night when she determinedally believed the radio was talking to her” Your are near enough now”

Baineadh stangadh uafásach as comharsa oíche amháin nuair a chreid sí go diongbháilte go raibh an raidió féin ag labhair go díreach léi” You are near enough now”

The poor woman jumped out of her chair immediately and fled

Léim an bhean bhocht as a cathaoir láithreach agus as go brách léi

The author gives a very funny comprehensive account of that incident

Tugann an t-údar cuntas an-ghreannmhar, cumasach dúinn ar an eachtra sin.
