Tháinig an bus faoi dheireadh, agus chuaigh na paisinéirígo léir air. "Tásúil agam go mbeidh suíochán compordach agam," dúirt Brian leis féin. Bhícúpla suíochán thiar i gcúl an bhus, agus shúil Brian siar fan phasáiste. Leathuair ina dhiaidh sin, bhían bus sa chathair, agus tharraing Brian an corda chun comhartha a thabhairt don tiománaí. Stad an bus ag an gcúinne, agus thuirling Brian.

Translation:The bus came at last, and the passengers all went on. "I hope that I will have a comfortable seat," said Brian to himself. There were a couple of seats back in the bus, and Brian walked back along the aisle. Half an hour later, the bus was in the city, and Brian pulled the cord to signal the driver. The bus stopped at the corner, and Brian got off.

Notes:"Back" in the sense of distant is "thiar." When you walk or move back, you go "siar." This is similar to "thuas," meaning "above," and "suas," meaning motion upwards.

Irish often uses a verb and noun where English would use only a verb. We say, "chun comhartha a thabhairt," to give a signal, instead of "to signal." You will see more of this as we go on.
