Story Transcript:
Ga: Ar maidin álainn samhraidh, bhí Aisling ag siúl trí shráideanna cobláilte Ghaillimh.
En: On a beautiful summer morning, Aisling was walking through the cobbled streets of Gaillimh.
Ga: Bhí boladh saibhir caife ag líonadh an aer.
En: The rich aroma of coffee filled the air.
Ga: Stad sí os comhair roastaire caife sean-aimseartha.
En: She stopped in front of an old-fashioned coffee roaster.
Ga: Bhí meas ar an tsean-siopa seo, a bhí líonta le sean-pharaphernalia caife, agus fuair Aisling duilleoga faoi rún iontach.
En: This old shop, filled with old coffee paraphernalia, was esteemed, and Aisling found leaves under a great mystery.
Ga: Thosaigh an lá mar aon lá eile.
En: The day started like any other day.
Ga: Bhí suíocháin adhmaid rustic ann, agus bhí Aisling ina suí agus í ag ullmhú a haghaidh lae.
En: There were rustic wooden seats, and Aisling sat there preparing her mind for the day.
Ga: Ach, nuair a dhein sí fiosrú a machnaimh taobh thiar den grindéir caife antíque, fuair sí litir i bhfolach ann.
En: But, when she explored behind the antique coffee grinder, she found a hidden letter.
Ga: Scríobhtha i nGaeilge, bhí an litir.
En: The letter was written in Gaeilge.
Ga: Ní raibh Gaeilge líofa aici, ach thuig Aisling go raibh nasc ag an litir seo lena seanathair mar a thugtar air.
En: She wasn't fluent in Gaeilge, but Aisling understood that this letter had a connection to her grandfather, as he's known.
Ga: Bhí a fhios ag Aisling cad a bhí le déanamh aici.
En: Aisling knew what she had to do.
Ga: Bhí sí ar bís, ach bhí mí-chompordach freisin.
En: She was excited but also uncomfortable.
Ga: Bhí uirthi cabhair ó Connor, cara clainne, a iarraidh; fear nach raibh sí ag labhairt leis ar feadh na mblianta.
En: She had to ask for help from Connor, a family friend, with whom she hadn't spoken in years.
Ga: Bhí drogall uirthi, ach bhí an fonn ar fhírinne ró-láidir.
En: She hesitated, but her desire for the truth was too strong.
Ga: Chuir sí glaoch ar Connor.
En: She called Connor.
Ga: D'éirigh leis glacadh leis an bpost a fháil leis an gearán a bhí idir an bheirt acu a réiteach.
En: He agreed to take on the task, putting aside the grievance between them.
Ga: Le chéile, thug Connor agus Aisling faoi scáir.
En: Together, Connor and Aisling pursued the mystery.
Ga: Bhí an litir cráiteach, ach le cabhair ó Connor, dhein siad dul chun cinn.
En: The letter was troubling, but with Connor's help, they made progress.
Ga: Shroich siad go dtí an áit a raibh brú an chamáin, áit a raibh meas ar theallach an chláir.
En: They reached the place where the pressure of the hurley was, a place revered for the hearth of the board.
Ga: Bhí moladh ag teacht ar an gcomhcheilg.
En: There was commendation coming for the conspiracy.
Ga: Le cúnamh ó Maeve, cara grámhar Aisling, críochnaigh siad an puzal.
En: With help from Maeve, Aisling's loving friend, they completed the puzzle.
Ga: Bhí an litir mar eochair, ag tonnadh go háras an teaghlaigh.
En: The letter was the key, waving towards the family's home.
Ga: Faoin roastaire, taobh thiar de chlocha maithreacha, bhí stór mhór aige.
En: Beneath the roaster, behind maternal stones, was a great treasure.
Ga: Ní ór nó airgead a bhí sa stór, ach litir agus cuimhneacháin eile.
En: The treasure wasn't gold or money, but letters and other mementos.
Ga: Thug na litreacha siar le teacht leis an am atá caite, ag nascadh Aisling lena héirim Éireannach.
En: The letters took them back in time, connecting Aisling with her Irish heritage.
Ga: Bhí croílíne idir diagacht agus cuid den toradh.
En: There was a core between divinity and part of the outcome.
Ga: D'athbhunaigh Aisling agus Connor a gcaidreamh, ag tabhairt coinnle an charbhaidh amach.
En: Aisling and Connor rekindled their relationship, bringing out the candles of friendship.
Ga: D'imigh an lá go mall, ach bhí soilse nua de chairdeas idir diabhail a bhfuil sé a rá.
En: The day faded slowly, but new lights of friendship shone between those you'd call devils to say.
Ga: Fuair Aisling áthas croí iontach agus eolas nua faoi lár a sean.
En: Aisling found great joy and new knowledge of her grandfather's depth.
Ga: Faoi dheireadh an lae torthúil, bhí mothú gnáth aici.
En: By the end of the fruitful day, there was a sense of normalcy in her.
Ga: Bhí sí ag fáil bá dúchais, ag tarraingt as an tseanmháthair atá sa stair agus ag tabhairt suaimhneas dá croí.
En: She was connecting with her native roots, drawing from the grandmother in history and bringing peace to her heart.
