Eachtra Alice i dTr na nIontas / Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

"making a chain of daisies would be a pleasure"

"Ach an fiú an iarracht dul suas agus na daisies a phiocadh "

"but is it worth the effort of getting up and picking the daisies "

ní raibh sé chomh furasta smaoineamh air sin

this was not so easy to think about

toisc go raibh an lá ag déanamh go mbraitheann sí codlatach agus dúr

because the day was making her feel sleepy and stupid

ach go tobann cuireadh isteach ar a smaointe

but suddenly her thoughts were interrupted

coinín bán le súile bándearga ar siúl gar di

a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her

Ní raibh aon rud ró-suntasach faoin gcoinín

There was nothing overly remarkable about the rabbit

agus ní raibh Alice smaoineamh ar an coinín iontach ceachtar

and Alice did not think the rabbit remarkable either

ná níor chuir sé iontas uirthi nuair a labhair an Coinín

nor did it surprise her when the Rabbit spoke

"Ó a stór! Beidh mé ródhéanach!" a dúirt sé leis féin

"Oh dear! I shall be too late!" he said to himself

ach ansin rinne an coinín rud nach ndearna coiníní

but then the Rabbit did something that rabbits didn't do

thóg an Coinín faire amach as a waistcoat-póca

the Rabbit took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket

D'fhéach sé ag an am agus ansin hurried ar

he looked at the time and then hurried on
