Lion-sgadanach
-
Mu ochd slait dheug a leud agus leth cheud slat a dh’fhad. Tha ainmeannan nan ropan air an dealbh. Glacaidh an lion so sgadan, rionnach is cnaimh-rionnach. Cha toigh leis an iasgair an cnaimh-rionnach idir. Tha e dona gu milleadh nan lion agus anabarrach duilich a chrathadh asda – aig amannan feumaidh iad an lamhan a ghabhail dha. Aig amannan theid corra bhradan an sàs, ach feuchaidh an t-iasgair ri chrathadh as an lion mus buail a beul a’ bhàta. Aig amannan eile suainidh cearban e fhein annta – agus is e sin as miosa buileach.
