There was a student at an English university,
called Donald MacDonald from the Isle of Skye ,
who was living in the hall of residence in his first year.
After he'd been there a month, his mother came to visit,
carrying reinforcements of scones and oatmeal.
"And how do you find the English students, Donald?"
she asked.
"Mother," he replied. "They're such terrible, noisy people.
The one on that side keeps banging his head against the wall,
and won't stop. The one on the other side screams
and screams and screams, away into the night."
"Oh Donald! How do you manage to put up with
these awful noisy English neighbours?"
"Mother, I do nothing. I just ignore them.
I just stay here quietly, playing my bagpipes."

and decided to start his own.
He walked into a music shop,
planning to buy the first instruments he saw.

"That's right. Why?"
"Well, the fire extinguisher I can sell you - but the radiator stays."

The knocking is very loud and speeds up, and he never knows when to come in.

to put the lantern by...
I think there's yet another wee bairn to come."
Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered
a bonnie lass. "Na, dinna be in a great hurry to
be putting down that lantern, lad...It seems there's
yet another one besides!" cried the doctor.
The crofter scratched his head in bewilderment,
and asked the doctor: "Well, now, mon. Do ye suppose
the light's attracting them?"

May there always be work
for your hands to do.
May your purse always hold
a coin or two.
May the sun always shine
on your windowpane.
May a rainbow be certain
to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend
always be near to you.
May God fill your heart
with gladness to cheer you.
