E'n coos ogas dhe Eglos Hallow ma gooth vian. Nag ew an dor compes. Obma hag ena ell bos kevys dowrlam emesk gwreydhednow maglys. O anjei teleryow-stenek en termyn eus passyes? Ma'n ooth ow cabmy - nag ew hei compes. Terweythyow ma hei ow tremena an trolergh - nei a gawas treys gleb! Res ew dhe'n trolergh tremena an ooth - rag hedna ma pons predn nowydh. Ma pajar men brâs e'n vorr. Pandr'ew anjei? Trap a Gernow o anjei - dhe lettya chattal gellys dhe stray. Lebmyn ledan ew an trolergh ha nag eus chattal. En pelder my a welas dowrlam pur vrâs - thera dowr ow scòllya mes a bib vrâs. Ew hedna an kethsam gooth? 



In the wood near Illogan there is a little stream. The ground is not level. Here and there can be found a waterfall among tangled tree roots. Were they tin-streaming places in time gone by? The stream bends - it is not straight. Sometimes it crosses the path - we got wet feet! The path has to cross the stream - so there is a new wooden bridge. There are four big stones in the way. What are they? They were a Cornish stile - to stop straying cattle. Now the path is wide and there are no cattle. In the distance I saw a very big waterfall - water was pouring out of a big pipe. Is that the very same stream?
