Female Voice B’ àbhaist do m’ fhalt a bhith cho fada.
Bhiodh a h-uile duine ag ràdh gun robh e brèagha.
Ach, bha e cho doirbh a nighe, agus bhiodh cabhag orm a h-uile madainn.
Bha mi gu dol às mo chiall.
Ach an uair sin, lorg mi siosar.
Tha mi air m’ fhalt a ghearradh, agus chan eil cabhag orm tuilleadh anns a’ mhadainn. 		My hair used to be so long.
Everyone would say that it was beautiful.
But, it was so difficult to wash, and I would be in a rush every morning.
I was about to go crazy.
But then, I found scissors.
I have cut my hair, and I’m no longer in a hurry any longer in the morning.
Male Voice Ma tha thusa gu bhith dol às do chiall.
Ceannaich siosar.		 If you are about to go crazy.
Buy scissors.
