The only child: a quiet house, sentence 8

On a farm in Donegal, two miles from the nearest kid, Ruairí kicks a ball against the barn wall for an hour, doing the commentary himself: «And Ruairí scores AGAIN, the crowd goes mental!» He's having great craic (Irish for fun), but on wet days it gets lonely.

Who acts: Ruairí, crowd, craic · What happens: kick, do, score, go, have, get · To what, where: ball, farm, commentary, great craic · Speech: someone speaks here
