Life in the forest
An saol sa choill
The woods was an open and spacious place
Áit oscailte spásmhar ba ea an choill
There were trees everywhere
Bhí crainn gach áit
The animal was free
Bhí an t-ainmhí saor
He was strong and scary
Bhí sé láidir agus scanrúil
The animal had hope in the forest
Bhí dóchas ag an ainmhí sa choill
He had a strong spirit
Bhí spiorad láidir aige
Life in the zoo
An saol sa zú
The case in the zoo is a closed place
Áit dúnta is ea an cás sa zú
