Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí brat de dhuilleoga donn agus órga ag clúdach na bhfaiche néata sa phobal faoi ghlas, agus bhí maisiúcháin Oíche Shamhna ag crochadh ó na tithe go léir.
En: A blanket of brown and golden leaves covered the neat lawns in the enclosed community, and Oíche Shamhna decorations were hanging from all the houses.
Ga: Bhí an geimhreadh ag druidim linn go tapaidh, agus d'eagraigh an scoil bailiúchán airgid sna coillte deireadh le haghaidh cláir ealaíne na scoile.
En: Winter was quickly approaching, and the school organized a fundraising event in the woods for the school's art programs.
Ga: Bhí Caitríona, ceannaire díograiseach, lán díograis agus dírithe ar an méid a bhí le déanamh aici.
En: Caitríona, an enthusiastic leader, was full of enthusiasm and focused on what she had to do.
Ga: Bhí liosta fada ag Caitríona ina fáiltiú.
En: Caitríona had a long list in her reception.
Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh go n-éireodh thar barr leis an mbailiúchán airgid seo.
En: She wanted this fundraising event to be a great success.
Ga: Bhí sí eagraithe agus ullmhaithe, ach bhí amhras bídeach ina croí faoi a cumas rudaí a dhéanamh spraoi.
En: She was organized and prepared, but there was a slight doubt in her heart about her ability to make things fun.
Ga: Ar an lámh eile, bhí Éamon, mac léinn cruthaitheach agus réchúiseach, ag iarraidh a gcuid smaointe uathúla a roinnt ach mhothaigh sé nach raibh a guth le cloisint.
En: On the other hand, Éamon, a creative and laid-back student, wanted to share his unique ideas but felt that his voice wasn't being heard.
Ga: Bhí sé ag iarraidh go dtabharfaí aird ar a chuid cruthaitheachta.
En: He wanted his creativity to be acknowledged.
Ga: Ba chuid lárnach de Éamon é freisin a bheith ag smaoineamh lasmuigh den ghnáth.
En: It was essential for Éamon to think outside the box.
Ga: Bhí a chuid moltaí ag teacht salach le pleananna Caitríona.
En: His suggestions clashed with Caitríona's plans.
Ga: Bhí cothromaíocht chuile sarxhrata ann, ghabh achrannán Caitriona fós d'aon chath.
En: There was a delicate balance at play, but Caitríona had not yet engaged in any fight.
Ga: Ríomhaire nó nach raibh mar d'éirigh níor mhaith le Éamon a bheith cur chun sháimhín so le i.
En: Whether it was computing or not, Éamon did not like to be sidelined.
Ga: Lá amháin, shocraigh Caitríona suí síos le Éamon.
En: One day, Caitríona decided to sit down with Éamon.
Ga: Thug sí aird ghéarchúiseach air nuair a roinn sé a smaoineamh dearfach amháin eile le mianta a scoile féin – sliocht oíche spraoi lasmuigh le laithreacha scanrúla sa pháirc.
En: She paid close attention when he shared one more positive idea that aligned with the school's desires – an outdoor fun night with spooky setups in the park.
Ga: Bhí aigear deurtha diolún ó Caitriona ag an dóigh mhí-sásúil. "Bhuel, déanaimis iarracht," ar sí faoi dheireadh, cé nach raibh sí cinnte go hiomlán faoin smaoineamh dainséarach sin.
En: Caitríona was initially skeptical of this dangerous idea, saying, "Well, let's give it a try," though she wasn't entirely sure about the plan.
Ga: Oíche Shamhna a bhí ann.
En: It was Oíche Shamhna.
Ga: Ar maidin, bhí sneachta beag leagtha síos ar na fossáidí, ach bhí an spleodar sa gcruinniú ard.
En: In the morning, a light snow had settled on the facades, but the excitement at the gathering was high.
Ga: Rinne na páistí gleoite ag dul ó sheasamh go seasaigh.
En: The children were delightful, moving from stall to stall.
Ga: Bhí na haonach i gcomhairliú go léir bhaint.
En: All sections of the fair were involved.
Ga: Tháinig athrú iontach ar an oíche mar bhuail an slua isteach sa pháirc.
En: The night transformed dramatically when the crowd entered the park.
Ga: Bhí lasair na tinte ag soilsiú an dorchadais, agus bhí eachtraí scanrúla dáiríre ag gach clúdach.
En: The flames of the fires lit up the darkness, and there were truly scary activities at each station.
Ga: Bhí gáire agus sceitimíní ann agus bhí an bhailiúchán airgid iontach rathúil.
En: There was laughter and excitement, and the fundraising was remarkably successful.
Ga: Thuig Caitríona go raibh guth Éamon riachtanach do rath an imeachta.
En: Caitríona realized that Éamon's voice was essential to the event's success.
Ga: Bhí sí lán bród mar thug sí aitheantas don ógánach cruthaitheach.
En: She was full of pride as she acknowledged the creative youth.
Ga: Bhí gné de chlóscríobh na ndánta mar chrann cuibhríochta ar faiche a ndúradh go raibh a chuid oibre ríthábhachtach.
En: There was a part of the script of poems as a lynchpin on the lawn, acknowledging that his work was essential.
Ga: Chuaigh an oíche chun cinn go hiontach, lán de mhacasamhla.
En: The night progressed wonderfully, full of reflections.
Ga: Thuig Caitríona an tábhacht a bhaineann le smaointe a bheith eagraithe, ach freisin le glacadh le cruthaitheacht eile.
En: Caitríona understood the importance of having organized ideas but also of embracing other creativity.
Ga: Agus Éamon?
En: And Éamon?
Ga: Bhraith sé go raibh sé aitheanta sa deireadh, agus mar sin bhí sé réidh go maith chun a chuid smaointe a roinnt amach anseo gan fhaitíos.
En: He finally felt recognized, and so he was ready to share his ideas in the future without fear.
Ga: Bhí sé cruthaithe anois gur fiú a chuid smaointe, fiú nuair a bhíonn siad lasmuigh den bhosca.
En: He had proven that his ideas were worthy, even when they were outside the box.
Ga: Dáiríre, bhain gach duine sult as, ag críochnú na hoíche lán brí, agus iad ag imeacht go cumhdach. Oíche nárbh iad ag maíomh gurbh é an bhailiúchán airgid Oíche Shamhna is fearr a tharla riamh ar bhealach eile.
En: Indeed, everyone enjoyed themselves, ending the night full of meaning, while they departed contentedly, claiming that it was the best Oíche Shamhna fundraising event that had ever taken place.
