(5) Tàbh mór
-
’Se ‘tigh-thàbhaidh’ a chanas na Nisich ris an tàbh so agus faodaidh mi a radh gur e Nis dachaidh an taibh so oir tha iad ann ’nan dusain. Chan fhaca mise gin ach aon dhuibh [sic] anns an Rudha, ’se ‘am poca’ bhiodh againne is bha am poca againn cho pailt is a tha an tigh thàbhaidh aig na Nisich. Tha e cho mór is cho trom is gum bi buarach air a cur mu mheadhon an fhir a bhios ag obair leis, is fear air a chùlaibh ga cumail, oir na’n tigeadh muir tarsainn gun fhiosd is an tàbh a muigh bhiodh e dualtach car a chur do’n tàbh is an t-iasgair a tharraing a mach. Ag iasgach le tàbh mór tha iad a’ biadhadh na creige, is nuair a chruinnicheas na cudaigean chun a phronnabhaidh-so, tha an t-iasgair a’ sàthadh sios an tàbh air an taobh a muigh is gan crodhadh ann eadar an tàbh ’sa chreag. Tha e a’ doirteadh na ghlacas e air a’ chreig is togaidh na bhios timchioll do na peileachan iad. ’Se duine làidir a dh’fheumas tu airson tigh thàbhaidh oibreachadh, ach is e daoine làidir a tha anns na Nisich.

Bha eagal orra gu gun glanadh iad an grunnd buileach glan, agus mar sin bha iad taingeil gun tug na balaich so an casan leotha nuair a chaidh an campa a dhùnadh bho chionn da bhliadhna. Anns an Rudha na’n togte creachan air lion beag bha an duine leis an robh an lion ga dhleasadh ga fhein. Co dhiù, anns an Rudha bha an creachan ga ithe amh cho luath ’sa thigeadh e air bòrd.
