Seanscéal simplí é seo a bhaineann le traidisiún béil na Seapáine. Saor cloiche is ea é Haru. Bhí sé sona sásta go dtí gur thosaigh sé ag santú na rudaí a bhí ag daoine eile. Ach má tháinig an saibhreas d’imigh an sonas.

Tá an scéal curtha in oiriúint do leitheoirí na linne seo ag Charlotte Guillain agus é maisithe go gleoite ag Steve Dorado. Bainfidh páistí óga sult as an leagan Gaeilge seo den scéal agus iad á léamh iad féin, nó duine eile a léamh os ard dóibh.

This book tells the story of ‘The Unhappy Stonecutter’, a traditional Japanese folk tale. In it, a simple stonecutter learns that you should count your blessings and be grateful for what you already have, instead of always wanting more!

This story has been adapted for modern readers by Charlotte Guillain and has been illustrated by Steve Dorado. Young children will enjoy reading this Irish version of the story themselves or they will enjoy someone else reading it aloud to them.
