Story Transcript:
Ga: I dtuaisceart Chontae Chill Mhantáin, i Glendalough, bhí an lá geal cáithréimeach.
En: In the north of County Wicklow, in Glendalough, the day was bright and triumphant.
Ga: Bhí an fhéile na Cásca ar siúl agus bhí na daoine sásta.
En: The Easter festival was underway and the people were happy.
Ga: Bhí an dúlra ag múscailt faoin ngrian, agus bhí bláthanna fiáine ag alán bláth.
En: Nature was awakening under the sun, and wildflowers were blooming abundantly.
Ga: Bhí Eoin, Siobhán, agus Niamh ag dul ar shiúlóid.
En: Eoin, Siobhán, and Niamh were going for a walk.
Ga: Bhí Eoin lán le fuinneamh, réidh chun a líonadh siar machaire na sléibhte.
En: Eoin was full of energy, ready to fill his spirit with the mountain plains.
Ga: "B'fhearr liom grianghraif iontacha a ghlacadh," a dúirt sé.
En: "I'd prefer to take amazing photographs," he said.
Ga: Thosaigh na triúr ag siúl ón gcarrchlós, ag tabhairt aghaidh ar na háilleachtaí atá le feiceáil os a gcomhair.
En: The three started walking from the car park, facing the beauties visible before them.
Ga: Bhí na lochanna uachtair mar sheoid den áit.
En: The upper lakes were like jewels of the place.
Ga: Ach ní fada a bhí siad ag dul nuair a thimpeall an chúinne, sleamhnaigh cos Eoin agus thit sé go hionadhach.
En: But they hadn't been walking long when, around the corner, Eoin's foot slipped, and he fell unexpectedly.
Ga: "Mmmm," a gháir Eoin agus é ag déanamh iarracht seasamh suas.
En: "Mmmm," cried Eoin as he tried to stand up.
Ga: Bhí sé sin gasta gur bhraith sé gur tharla rud mícheart.
En: It wasn't long before he realized something was wrong.
Ga: "Timpiste!
En: "An accident!"
Ga: " arsa Siobhán, ag seasamh lena dheartháir.
En: said Siobhán, standing by her brother.
Ga: Bhí an chiall aici.
En: She was right.
Ga: "Ní féidir linn dul in airde," ar sí go brónach.
En: "We can't go uphill," she said sadly.
Ga: Ach bhí mian Eoin chomh láidir sin gur b'éigean dó aisti siar a throid.
En: But Eoin's will was so strong that he had to fight back from giving up.
Ga: "Maith go leor.
En: "Alright.
Ga: Ní thabharfaidh mé suas," ar Eoin.
En: I won't give up," said Eoin.
Ga: Ach bhí a dheirfiúr buartha fós.
En: But his sister was still worried.
Ga: D'iarr siad ar Niamh cad a cheap sí, agus mhaíomh Niamh go raibh cosán níos éasca acu fós.
En: They asked Niamh what she thought, and Niamh suggested they still had an easier path ahead.
Ga: Agus mar sin phleanáil siad ar aghaidh.
En: And so they planned to move forward.
Ga: "Is é seo an turas difriúil," arsa Niamh, agus í ag siúl cinnte amach ar fud na gcoillte craicne.
En: "This is a different journey," said Niamh, confidently walking out through the wooded trails.
Ga: Ar deireadh, shroich siad áit a raibh an talamh tochtmhar agus an radharcán ceann tuisce.
En: Finally, they reached a place where the ground was soft and the views were breathtaking.
Ga: Bhí siad ag iarraidh fanacht sábháilte.
En: They wanted to stay safe.
Ga: Bhí Eoin tuirseach.
En: Eoin was tired.
Ga: Bhí radharcanna iontacha thart timpeall orthu.
En: There were incredible sights all around them.
Ga: "B'áilleacht difriúil é seo," ar Eoin, agus an ceamara ina lámha.
En: "This is a different beauty," said Eoin, with the camera in his hands.
Ga: Thóg sé grianghraif a raibh sé aghaidh le bród.
En: He took photos that he was proud of.
Ga: "Ní raibh a fhios agam go raibh áilleacht mar seo ann," ar sé le aoibh mhór.
En: "I didn’t know such beauty existed," he said with a big smile.
Ga: Sa deireadh, d'fhoghlaim Eoin go mbíonn iontas ann i gcónaí.
En: In the end, Eoin learned that there's always wonder to be found.
Ga: Is é an turas féin an bronntanas mór.
En: The journey itself is the great gift.
Ga: Agus mar sin, d'fhág an triúr, lán le ríméad agus iad sásta.
En: And so, the three left, full of joy and contentment.
Ga: Bhí an lá Cásca fíor-iontach i Glendalough.
En: It was a truly wonderful Easter day in Glendalough.
