Bha Biorachan Mór ag amas air leasan a theagasg dha a charaid gionach, sanntach, agus sin mar a thòisich sreath de bhuilean gun dùil. Air aon àm bha an sgeulachd air tè den fheadhainn a b' ainmeile do chloinn air feadh na Gàidhealtachd, bho Alba gu Eilean Cheap Bhreatainn, Alba Nuadh.This is the Nova Scotia Gaelic orthography edition. A separate Gaelic Orthographic Conventions (GOC) edition is also available. Big Biorachan and Little Biorachan went out to pick nuts... but Little Biorachan wouldn't stop eating them!
