Mum straps everyone in securely with their seatbelts.
‘There’s a lot of traffic today,’ says Ziggy.
‘Traffic,’ smiles Mum. ‘Great word, Ziggy.’
‘When I first came here I didn’t even know what traffic was,’ smiles Ziggy proudly.
Tha Mamaidh a’ ceangal a h-uile duine a steach gu tèarainte leis na criosan-suidheachain aca.
‘Tha tòrr trafaig ann an-diugh,’ arsa Siogaidh.
‘Trafaig,’ arsa Mamaidh le gàire.

‘Maggie knew what everything was before she was born,’ Andrew says, giving Ziggy a nudge.
‘Bha fios agamsa riamh mu thrafaig,’ thuirt Magaidh.
‘Is e trafaig… càraichean agus busaichean agus làraidhean agus bhanaichean agus làraidhean agus tuilleadh làraidhean agus… agus ‘s dòcha gun robh fios agam dè a bh’ ann an trafaig fiù ‘s mus do rugadh mi.’

‘They’re waiting for the green man to come on,’ smiles Ziggy.
Tha Mamaidh a ’stad aig solas trafaig dearg.
Tha Jasmine agus a h-Athair nan seasamh leis na baidhsagalan aca, a ’feitheamh ri dhol tarsainn air an rathad.
‘Tha iad a’ feitheamh ris an duine uaine tighinn air,’ arsa Siogaidh le gàire.

The shopping centre is really busy and everyone cheers when Mum eventually finds a parking space.

Tha an aonad bhùithean uabhasach trang agus tha a h-uile duine a’ leigeil èigh nuair a tha Mamaidh mu dheireadh thall à faighinn àite-parcaidh.

‘Car parks are just funny shaped roads,’ says Ziggy.
‘Nis dè dh’fheumas sinn a chuimhneachadh mu phàircean chàraichean?’ arsa Mamaidh.

‘I am nearly in Primary One, you know.’
‘Mar sin, feumaidh sinn daonnan greim a chumail air làmhan agus cumail a’ coimhead agus ag èisteachd airson càraichean.’
‘Tha sin ceart, ’arsa Mamaidh.
‘Bha fiosam air an sin,’ arsa Magaidh.

‘Sae we ayeweys hiv tae haud hauns an keep luikin and listenin fir caurs.’
‘That’s richt,’ seys Mum.
‘A kent that,’ seys Maggie.
‘A’m nearly in Primary Yin, ye ken.’
The shopping centre is huge.
Ziggy likes the supermarket.
But the best bit of all is the row upon row of big, fat juicy cabbages.
Ziggy wishes he could jump in and gobble them all up.
Yummeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Ach ‘s e an rud as fheàrr buileach na sreathan às dèidh sreath de chàl mòr, reamhar.

The family walk to school together. Ziggy can’t believe that this time tomorrow he’ll be starting school too.
Zab-a-Ding-a-Doo!
‘S e chiad latha dhen teirm ùr a th’ ann.
Tha Anndra is Magaidh a’ coimhead gu math spaideil nan èideadh sgoile.
Tha an teaghlach a’ coiseachd dhan sgoil còmhla.
Chan urrainn do Siogaidh a chreidsinn gu bidh esan a ’tòiseachadh san sgoil cuideachd mun aon àm a-màireach.

Ziggy cannae believe that this time the morra he’ll be stertin the scuil an aw.
Zab-a-Ding-a-Doo!
Ziggy and Maggie help Mum and Andrew find a safe place to cross.
‘This is a good place to cross,’ says Maggie, ‘because we can see the traffic coming and the traffic can see us.’
Tha Siogaidh agus Magaidh a ’cuideachadh Mamaidh agus Anndra àite sàbhailte fhaighinn airson a dhol tarsainn an rathaid.
’S e deagh àite a tha seo airson a dhol tarsainn,’ arsa Magaidh, ‘a chionn ‘s gum faic sinn an trafaig a’ tighinn agus chì an trafaig sinne.’
Ziggy and Maggie help Mum an Andrew fin a safe place tae cross.
‘This is a guid place tae cross,’ seys Maggie, ‘for we can see the traffic comin an the traffic can see us.’
‘And we have to use our ears too,’ says Ziggy, ‘to make sure we can hear the traffic coming.’
‘My two wee geniuses,’ laughs Mum.
‘Now stay well back from the kerb and hold hands until it’s safe to cross.’
‘Agus feumaidh sinn ar cluasan a chleachdadh cuideachd,’ arsa Siogaidh, ‘gus dèanamh cinnteach gun cluinn sinn an trafaig a’ tighinn.’
‘An dà laoch bheag agam fhèin, arsa Mamaidh ‘s i gàireachdainn.
‘Nise fuirich gu math air ais bho oir an rathaid agus cùm greim air làmhan gus a bheil e sàbhailte a dhol tarsainn.’
‘An we hiv tae yaise oor lugs an aw,’ seys Ziggy, ‘tae mak shair we can hear the traffic comin.’
‘Ma twa wee geniuses,’ laughs Mum.
‘Nou stey weil back fae the kerb an haud hauns till it’s safe tae cross.’
‘I think kerbs are really clever,’ says Ziggy, taking a picture with his magic watch.
‘You do?’ says Maggie, thinking that sometimes Ziggy is quite a strange little alien indeed.
‘Kerbs are like the pavement’s way of saying stop without having to write stop all the way along the edge of the road.’
‘Tha mi smaointinn gu bheil oirean rathaid uabhasach glic,’ arsa Siogaidh, ‘s e togail dealbh leis an uaireadair draoidheil aige.
‘A bheil?’ arsa Magaidh, ‘s i a’ smaointinn gur e duine beag annasach bho thìr eile a th’ ann an Siogaidh uaireannan.
‘S e na h-oirean an dòigh a th’ aig a’ chabhsair air stad a ràdh gun a bhith a’ sgrìobhadh stad fad an t-slighe air oir an rathaid.’
‘A think kerbs are dead clever,’ seys Ziggy, takin a picter wi his magic watch.
‘Ye dae?’ seys Maggie, thinkin that sometimes Ziggy is a kinna strange wee alien richt enough.
‘Kerbs are lik the pavement’s wey o sayin stoap wi’oot hivin tae scrieve stoap aw the wey alang the edge o the road.’
Ziggy zaps his watch again and this time it projects the word stop all along the pavement.
Andrew gasps. ‘You’re right Ziggy. It would take someone a zillion years to write stop on the side of every road.’
‘And how silly would it be to do that?’ says Maggie.
‘Primary Ones can’t even read yet.’
Tha Siogaidh ‘a brùthadh an uaireadair aige a-rithist agus an turas seo tha e a’ cur an fhacail stad air taobh a’ chabhsair gu lèir.
Rinn Anndra osna. ‘Tha thu ceart a Shiogaidh. Bheireadh e sillean bhliadhna do chuideigin stad a sgrìobhadh air oir a h-uile rathad.’
‘Agus dè cho gòrach sa bhiodh sin?’ arsa Magaidh.
‘Chan urrainn do chlann Prìomh a h-Aon fiù ‘s leughadh fhathast.’
Ziggy zaps his watch yince mair an this time it sens oot the word stoap aw alang the pavement.
Andrew gasps. ‘Ye’re richt, Ziggy. It wid tak somebodie a zillion years tae scrieve stoap oan the side o everie road.’
‘An hou stupit wid that be?’ seys Maggie.
‘Primary Yins cannae even read yet.’
Everyone looks up and down the road to check that there’s no traffic coming.
Then they check again. The road is clear so it’s safe to cross.
And what do we always have to do when we cross the road?
‘Hold hands! ‘Look for traffic!’ ‘And Listen for traffic!’
Tha a h-uile duine a ’coimhead suas is sìos an rathad gus dèanamh cinnteach nach eil trafaig a’ tighinn.
An uair sin tha iad a’ toirt sùil eile.
Tha an rathad sàmhach. Mar sin, tha e sàbhailte a dhol tarsainn.
Agus dè a dh’fheumas sinn a dhèanamh daonnan nuair a thèid sinn tarsainn an rathad?
‘Cùm greim air làmhan a chèile! ‘Coimhead Agus Èist!
Awbodie luiks up an doon the road tae check there’s nae traffic comin.
Then they check yince mair.
The road is clear sae it’s safe tae cross.
An whit dae we ayeweys hiv tae dae when we cross the road?
Haud hauns! Luik for traffic! And listen for traffic!
Ziggy gives Maggie and Andrew a big kiss at the school gate.
‘Have a Zab-a-Ding-a-Doo first day, Maggie!’ says Ziggy.
‘And you have a Dab-a-Fingy-Doo last day!’ says Maggie, not getting it quite right.
‘I’ll try,’ mumbles Ziggy with a lump in his throat.
He’s going to miss his Earth family so much.
Tha Siogaidh a ’toirt pòg mhòr do Mhagaidh agus Anndra aig geata na sgoile.
‘An dòchas gum bidh ciad latha Sab-a-Diong-a-Dù agad, a Mhagaidh!’ arsa Siogaidh.
‘Agus an dòchas gum bidh latha mu dheireadh Dab-a-Fingi-Dù agad fhèin!’ arsa Magaidh, ‘s gun i ga fhaighinn builleach ceart.
‘Feuchaidh mi,’ tha Siogaidh a mablais le cnap na amhaich.

‘An you hiv a Dab-a-Fungy-Doo last day!’ seys Maggie, no gettin it jist richt.
‘A’ll try,’ mumbles Ziggy wi a lump in his thrapple.
He’s gan tae miss his Earth faimilie that much.
Ziggy takes Mum’s hand and they head home.
‘That was very clever what you said about kerbs this morning,’ says Mum trying to cheer Ziggy up, ‘that kerbs tell us to stop without any words.’
Tha Siogaidh a’ gabhail greim air làmh Mamaidh agus tha iad a’ tilleadh dhachaigh.
‘Bha na thuirt thu mu dheidhinn oirean an rathaid sa mhadainn gu math glic,’ arsa Mamaidh ‘s i feuchainn ri togail a toirt do Shiogaidh,
‘gu bheil oirean ag innse dhuinn stad gun a bhith a’ cleachdadh faclan sam bith.’

‘That was gey smert whit ye said aboot kerbs the morn,’ seys Mum tryin tae cheer Ziggy up, ‘that kerbs tell us tae stoap withoot onie words.’
Ziggy smiles and thinks for a moment.
‘Like a cuddle says I love you without any words?’
‘Just like that,’ says Mum and cuddles Ziggy tightly.
Tha Siogaidh a’ gàireachdaich sa smaointinn airson mionaid.
‘Mar a tha pòg ag ràdh Tha Gaol Agam Ort às aonais faclan sam bith?’
‘Dìreach mar sin,’ arsa Mamaidh ‘s i toirt pòg mhòr do Shiogaidh.
Ziggy smiles an thinks for a moment.
‘Lik a cuddle says A love ye withoot onie words?’
‘Jist like that,’ seys Mum and cuddles Ziggy tichtlie.
Mum has organised a tea party after school for Ziggy.

Tha Mamaidh air pàrtaidh tì a chuir air dòigh airson Siogaidh às dèidh na sgoile.
