stalls.Ga: Bhí am taibhseach acu ag cromadh os cionn fonsaí na bhfear oibre agus fuair siad radharc ar uncail le basket lán de chaora foirfe.En: They had a marvelous time stooping over the workers' booths and caught sight of a man with a basket full of perfect berries.Ga: Anois bhí troid greamanna acu toisc nach raibh ach ceann amháin fágtha.En: Now they had a playful debate because there was
