[Dan Allan Gillis:] Bha 'ad ag òl is bha esan a' smocadh 's bha—thuit esan na chadal, thuit dithist dhiubh nan cadal co-dhiubh 's bha cigarette ac' 's loisg e 'n taobh aige-san, 's loisg e làmh dona. Bha e 'san ospadal ach fhuair e na b'fheàrr. Chaidh e nunn a—fhuair e ás a' seo, is bha e 'dol mun cuairt 's e air fàs gu math. Is bha e thall an t-sràid a bha seo 's thachair Maighstir Iain air 's bha Maighstir Iain, fhios aige gu faigheadh e facal math à Eachann. Chaidh e—'s toileachadh mòr ris. "Uill a nis, Eachainn, innis dhomh ciamar a thachair seo dhut, Eachainn."
"Uill, innsidh mise dhut, Fr. John, innsidh mise dhut dìreach ciamar a thachair sin! Bha sinn thall, bha sinn thall aig a' vendor thall ann a seo agus thàinig nighean a nall, choisich nighean a-nall an rathad agus hot pants oirre agus chuir mi mo làmh oirre!"

Translation:

HECTOR DOINK AND THE BURNT HAND

[Dan Allan Gillis:] They were drinking and oh, he was smoking and he fell asleep, they both fell asleep and they had a cigarette which burnt his side, he burnt his hand badly. He was in hospital but he got better and went over to—he got out—and he was going about once he recovered. And he was over on this street and Fr. John met him and Fr. John, he knew he would get a good word out of Hector. He went to—so happy to see him. "Well now, Hector, tell me how this happened to you, Hector."
"Well, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, Fr. John. We were over, we were at the vendor's over here and a girl came over, a girl walked over wearing hot pants and I put my hand on her!"
