Printíseach and Draoi (Cnusach Tomi Ungerer / The Tomi Ungerer Irish Collection)

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Tá Printíseach óg cliste - ach é ábhairín leisciúil - i siléar an tseanchaisleáin ag Draoi. Nuair a théann an Máistir ar aistear, fágann sé liosta jabanna ag an bPrintíseach le déanamh. In áit luí isteach ar an obair, iompaíonn an Printíseach ar an draíocht chun an saol a dhéanamh níos éasca dó - agus cuireann sé sin cor sa scéal.
