Translation:Brian stood up, walked to the door, and put on his coat. "It's not as cold today as it was yesterday", thought Brian to himself, "but I prefer to wear my coat. The weather's cold enough in November." He opened the door and went out. He locked the door with his key. Then he left, down the street, to get the bus. There was a line of persons at the street corner, waiting for the bus.

Notes:"Chun an bus a fháil" is typical of one way to show purpose. The object comes before the verbal noun. Other examples: chun an leabhar a thabhairt dom, to give the book to me; chun focal a ráleo, to say a word to them; chun dul abhaile, to go home.
