"Don haka ka sani," in ji Richard Malone kafin mu fara magana, "idan ka ji wani haki, ba ni ba ne!" Mawakin Irish yana magana da ni daga wani wurin aiki na musamman: gona a Stradbally, County Laois. Akwai yuwuwar doki na lokaci-lokaci ya shigo, yana neman kulawa, amma gonar tana da manyan rumfunan rago—wanda ya dace da Malone don gina sabbin sassaka na mita biyar.
"Akwai 'yan rago masu kyau a ko'ina da karnuka kusan 20 suna yawo," in ji shi da murmushi. "Daidai abin da nake so a kusa da ni."
Malone ya koma gonar bayan an nemi ya yi wani shiri na sassaka don gine-ginen Justus Lipsius da Europa na Majalisar Tarayyar Turai (Ireland ta karbi shugabancin EU a wannan watan). Aikin yana kira Cuimhne agus Séadchomhartha (Tunawa da Tarihi), kuma zai nuna abubuwan da ya yi na yadudduka masu launi, wanda, tare da manyan labule da nade-nade, suna kama da halittu na tatsuniya.

"Abin da nake tambaya shine: me yasa ba a tattara wasu samfuran dinki ko wasu katifu ba? Me yasa wasu masu fasaha ba su cikin tsarin karatun mu?"
Tare da sassaka masu laushi, Malone yana cika dakunan shugabancin gine-ginen da ayyukan masu fasaha na Irish na zamani, masu yin ayyuka, da masu sana'a: sofas don wakilai su zauna, kafet don tafiya, kwantena da aka yi daga itace mai gogewa. Duk wannan ya fito daga asalin Malone. An haife shi a cikin iyali mai aiki a Wexford, ya koyi basirar aiki daga mahaifinsa, mai ado. Da shekara bakwai, ya iya tuka mota, kuma ya yi shekarun samartaka a wuraren gini daban-daban, yana fenti. "Ina da hankali sosai ga launi," in ji shi. "Domin na dauki lokaci mai yawa ina kallon fenti yana bushewa."

"Waƙar da na fi so ta farko ita ce It's Oh So Quiet," in ji Malone, "domin a matsayin yaro za ka iya yin hauka sosai da ita." Ya yi aiki da mawakin Icelandic sau da yawa tun daga lokacin, yana tsara rigar da ta yi fice da ta saka a bidiyon Atopos. "Muna kan tsawon raƙuman ruwa ɗaya, don haka duk ya kasance na halitta—babu PR da ya shiga ko yarjejeniyar alama ko wani abu makamancin haka."
Duk da haka, Malone bai taɓa jin cikakken gida a duniyar kayan ado ba. Ya zama mai rashin gaskiya game da takwarorinsa da shahararrun mutane waɗanda suka ɗauki kwangiloli masu riba don tallata samfuran da ba su da da'a: "Duk abin da za ka yi idan sun aiko da imel shine ka ce a'a," in ji shi yana daga kafada.

Ya yi dariya: "Koyaushe ina tsammanin akwai wani hukuma da za ta ce, tsaya, ka yi isasshe yanzu!"
