Story Transcript:

Ga: Lá breá geal a bhí ann, agus an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch.
En: It was a beautifully bright day, with the sun splitting the stones.

Ga: Bhí Aoife, Séamus, agus Niamh ag siúl go hárd ar Ghoirt na hAille - na haillte is áille in Éirinn.
En: Aoife, Séamus, and Niamh were walking high on the Cliffs of Moher - the most beautiful cliffs in Ireland.

Ga: Bhí an tír seo cáiliúil ar fuaid na cruinne mar gheall ar a haille iontacha.
En: This country was famous all over the world because of its amazing cliffs.

Ga: Bhí Aoife ag tabhairt faoi deara na h-éin ag eitilt go saor san aer agus an fharraige glasghorm ag bualadh i gcoinne na n-aillte.
En: Aoife noticed the birds flying freely in the air and the deep blue sea crashing against the cliffs.

Ga: Bhí a cróineadh ar leith ag an nGaeilge aici.
En: She had a special love for the Irish language.

Ga: Dhírigh sí a súile ar an bhfarraighe, ag mealladh a haigne chuig scéalta na n-iasc mhór agus na long bháite.
En: She focused her eyes on the ocean, drawing her mind towards tales of big fish and sunken ships.

Ga: Séamus, leis an hata mór olla air agus éadaí datha donn, cosúil le caoirigh na hÉireann, bhí ag siúl cúpla céim ar gcúl ó Aoife.
En: Séamus, wearing a big straw hat and clothes the color of Irish sheep, was walking a few steps behind Aoife.

Ga: Bhí sé ag pleidhcíocht, agus é ag dul in éadan na gaoithe, a shnáitheanna gruaige ag damhsa cosúil le feamainn sa taoide.
En: He was joking, pushing against the wind, his hair strands dancing like seaweed in the tide.

Ga: Niamh, a bhí i gcónaí ag iarraidh greann a dhéanamh, bhí ag gáire go hinmheánach agus í ag féachaint ar Aoife agus ar an mbealach a bhí sí chomh tógtha leis an radharc iontach os a comhair.
En: Niamh, always looking to have fun, was laughing uncontrollably, looking at Aoife and the way she was so taken with the amazing view in front of her.

Ga: Go tobann, nuair a d'iompaigh Aoife timpeall - bhí a súile nach raibh fógartha léi féin - shíl sí go raibh sí tar éis féachaint ar chaora ag siúl díreach taobh thiar di.
En: Suddenly, when Aoife turned around - her eyes not having revealed her intention - she thought she had just seen a sheep walking directly behind her.

Ga: Le scaoll mór, liúigh sí amach, "Féach, caora!
En: With a big surprise, she shouted, "Look, a sheep!"

Ga: "Bhí Séamus go hionadh agus bhuail tonn mór gáire é air.
En: Séamus was astonished and burst into laughter.

Ga: Rinne sé beic cosúil le caora ag freagairt.
En: He made a sheep-like bleat in response.

Ga: "Maaaa!
En: "Baaa!"

Ga: " a deir sé go magúil.
En: he said playfully.

Ga: Niamh a bhí ag faire an radharc go léir phléasc amach le gáire.
En: Niamh, who had been taking in the whole scene, burst out laughing.

Ga: "Aoife, ní caora atá ann, ach Séamus!
En: "Aoife, it's not a sheep, it's Séamus!"

Ga: " a dúirt sí idir chraicinn agus cáirn.
En: she said, in between laughs and giggles.

Ga: D'aithin Aoife a mhearú láithreach agus dá mhéad a mearbhall, thosaigh sí féin ag gáire fosta.
En: Aoife realized her mistake immediately and, despite her confusion, she started laughing too.

Ga: Bhí aoibh gháire an domhain ar aghaidh gach duine acu.
En: The laughter on their faces was infectious.

Ga: Bhí an lá seo níos taitneamhaí mar gheall ar an gcéad mhírú.
En: This day was even more enjoyable because of the first misunderstanding.

Ga: Shocraigh an triúr ansin suí síos le chéile cois na n-aillte agus amharc amach ar an bhfarraige, agus iad go léir fós ag gáire ó am go chéile.
En: The three of them then decided to sit down together beside the cliffs and look out at the sea, all still laughing from time to time.

Ga: Ba é lá na scéimh agus an chomhrá é, an ceangal cairdeas níos doimhne fós idir Aoife, Séamus agus Niamh.
En: It was a day of jokes and conversation, deepening the bond of friendship between Aoife, Séamus, and Niamh.

Ga: Léiríonn eachtra an lae - an meascán idir chomhluadar cairdiúil agus an áilleacht nádúrtha - go mbíonn áthas agus greann i gcónaí le fáil, fiú nuair a bhíonn mearbhall beag i gceist.
En: The day's event - the mix of friendly company and natural beauty - shows that there is always happiness and humor to be found, even when there is a small confusion.

Ga: Agus d’fhoghlaim Aoife gan caoirigh agus daoine a mheascadh arís!
En: And Aoife learned not to mix up sheep and people again!
