Èiginn Ùisdein

by Mòrag Anna NicNèill

Shuas air a’ mhonadh, ann an gleann uaine air a bheil Àirigh a’ Mhadaidh-ruaidh, tha sionnach beag air a bheil Ùisdean a’ fuireach. Ach tha rùn-dìomhair aige a tha a’ dèanamh a bheatha gu math doirbh agus a theaghlach gu math feargach – cha toil leis feòil!

Nuair a tha Ùisdean a’ cluinntinn na tha fa-near dha phàrantan airson leasan ionnsachadh dha, chan eil dol às aige ach teiche. Tha an dàna-thuras a tha a’ leantainn ga thoirt gu àiteachan annasach, far a bheil e a’ coinneachadh ri caractaran a tha a cheart cho annasach ris fhèin. Mu dheireadh, tha e a’ lorg àite dha fhèin san t-saoghal, agus a’ tuigsinn gu bheil e ceart gu leòr a bhith eadar-dhealaichte.

Up on the moor, in a green valley called Àirigh a’ Mhadaidh-ruaidh, lives a little fox called Ùisdean. But he has a secret that makes his life very difficult and his family very angry – he doesn’t like meat! When Ùisdean hears that his parents are planning to teach him a lesson, he has no choice but to run away. The adventure that follows takes him to strange places, where he meets characters who are just as unusual as he is. Finally, he finds his place in the world, and realises that it’s okay to be different.
