Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí an lá álainn ach fuar i nGaillimh.
En: It was a beautiful but cold day in Gaillimh.
Ga: Bhí Eamon agus Fiona ina suí i gcoirnéal cluthar den siopa tae.
En: Eamon and Fiona were sitting in a cozy corner of the tea shop.
Ga: Bhí an siopa lán le boladh tae spíosrach agus bácáil úra.
En: The shop was filled with the smell of spicy tea and fresh baking.
Ga: Lasmuigh, bhí sneachta ag titim ón spéir.
En: Outside, snow was falling from the sky.
Ga: Sa taobh istigh, bhí an teas ag cur compoird orthu.
En: Inside, the warmth was comforting them.
Ga: Bhí Eamon ag iarraidh díriú ar staidéar don scrúdú deireanach.
En: Eamon was trying to focus on studying for his final exam.
Ga: Bhí lámh aige ina leabhar ach bhí a intinn imníoch.
En: He had a hand in his book, but his mind was anxious.
Ga: Bhí air scoláireacht a bhuachan.
En: He needed to win a scholarship.
Ga: Bhí sé ag streachailt leis an strus.
En: He was struggling with the stress.
Ga: Chuir Fiona spéis ann, áfach.
En: However, Fiona took an interest in him.
Ga: Bhí sí réidh chun é a mhúineadh conas scíth a ligean.
En: She was ready to teach him how to relax.
Ga: "Déan sos, Eamon," a dúirt Fiona go bog.
En: "Take a break, Eamon," said Fiona softly.
Ga: "Níl aon mhaith le bheith buartha.
En: "Worrying does no good.
Ga: Bain triail as mo chleachtais scíth a ligean.
En: Try my relaxation practices."
Ga: "Bhí Eamon drogallach.
En: Eamon was reluctant.
Ga: Bhí sé buartha faoi am a chaitheamh gan staidéar.
En: He worried about spending time not studying.
Ga: Ach, chinn sé triail a bhaint as.
En: But, he decided to give it a try.
Ga: "Ceart go leor, ach cad is gá dom a dhéanamh?
En: "Okay, but what do I need to do?"
Ga: "D'éirigh Fiona suas agus chuaigh sí go dtí grupán in aice leo.
En: Fiona got up and went to a group nearby.
Ga: Bhí a gcomhscoláirí ag ullmhú don Nollaig.
En: Their fellow students were preparing for Christmas.
Ga: "Tagaigí linn," arsa Fiona.
En: "Come with us," said Fiona.
Ga: "Tá amhráin na Nollag le chéile againn.
En: "We have Christmas carols together."
Ga: "Bhí Eamon amhrasach ar dtús ach lean sé í amach.
En: Eamon was doubtful at first but followed her out.
Ga: Thosaigh siad ag canadh amhráin Nollag le chéile taobh amuigh den siopa tae.
En: They started singing Christmas carols together outside the tea shop.
Ga: Bhí gáire ar a aghaidh.
En: He had a smile on his face.
Ga: D'athraigh sé ó bheith imníoch go sona sásta.
En: He changed from anxious to happy.
Ga: Bhí sé mar gheall ar Fiona agus a cairde.
En: It was because of Fiona and her friends.
Ga: Tar éis an chóraigeacht, bhí Eamon lán d'fhuinneamh.
En: After the caroling, Eamon was full of energy.
Ga: Thuig sé go raibh sosanna tábhachtach.
En: He realized that breaks were important.
Ga: Chríochnaigh siad an oíche le brat flirtithe sna páipéir staidéir, ag baint lánchuita do na modhanna staidéar nua a d'fhoghlaim sé ó Fiona.
En: They ended the night with paper strewn over their study materials, taking full advantage of the new study methods he learned from Fiona.
Ga: Nuair a tháinig an lá dár gcionn, bhí Eamon réidh.
En: When the next day came, Eamon was ready.
Ga: Bhí a intinn úr, éifeachtúil.
En: His mind was fresh, efficient.
Ga: Fuair sé amach nach raibh a chinniúint ag brath ar chruachás, ach ar chothromaíocht.
En: He found that his fate did not rely on hardship, but on balance.
Ga: Bhí sé buíoch as Fiona agus a gcairde.
En: He was grateful to Fiona and their friends.
Ga: Bhí sí ábalta cabhrú leis i slí nach raibh ceaptha aige riamh.
En: She was able to help him in a way he never thought possible.
Ga: Tá an Nollaig an-álainn, smaoinigh Eamon, agus ní mar gheall ar bhronntanais amháin é.
En: Christmas is very beautiful, thought Eamon, and not just because of presents.
Ga: Is am leis na cairde, scíth agus sonas.
En: It's a time for friends, relaxation, and happiness.
