Story Transcript:

Ga: Lá breá samhraidh a bhí ann, agus bhí Seamus agus Aoife tar éis plean a dhéanamh le dul chun na hAillte Móire.
En: It was a beautiful summer's day, and Seamus and Aoife had made plans to go to the Cliffs of Moher.

Ga: Bhí seoda glasa an dúlra thart orthu agus an ghrian ag spalpadh a solais ón spéir gorm.
En: The green treasures of nature surrounded them, and the sun scattered its light from the blue sky.

Ga: "Tá an radharc seo dochreidte," arsa Aoife, a súile ag gobadh amach ar an bhfarraige mhór thíos fúithi.
En: "This view is incredible," said Aoife, her eyes gazing out at the vast sea below.

Ga: "Aontaím leat," arsa Seamus, a sciorta á socrú aige, "ní fhaca mé riamh áit chomh hálainn.
En: "I agree," said Seamus, adjusting his shorts, "I've never seen anywhere as beautiful."

Ga: "Agus iad ag siúl le chéile cois na faille, thosaigh na scamaill dorcha ag bailiú os a gceannta gan choinne.
En: As they walked together along the edge of the cliff, dark clouds began to gather above them without warning.

Ga: Bhraith Seamus an t-aer ag éirí fuar agus chonaic sé na scamaill ag tiomsú.
En: Seamus felt the air turning cold and saw the clouds thickening.

Ga: "Aoife, tá drochaimsir ag teacht!
En: "Aoife, bad weather is coming!"

Ga: " a d'fhógair Seamus, ag pointeáil suas.
En: Seamus announced with a pointed finger.

Ga: Sular fhéad Aoife freagra a thabhairt, thosaigh na flaithis ag oscailt agus stealladh báistí trom ag tuairteáil anuas orthu.
En: Before Aoife could respond, the heavens opened and heavy rain poured down on them.

Ga: Bhí siad anonn i bhfad ón gcarr agus ní raibh aon foscadh in aice láimhe.
En: They were far from the car and had no shelter nearby.

Ga: "Seo, glacaigí le mo scáth!
En: "Here, take my coat!"

Ga: " arsa Seamus, ag tabhairt scáth mór dá mhála droma.
En: said Seamus, offering a large coat from his backpack.

Ga: Tharraing Aoife a scáth féin amach, agus sheas siad le chéile faoin dá scáth mhór dearg, gáire á dhéanamh acu mar gheall ar an eachtra tobann.
En: Aoife pulled out her own coat, and they stood together under their two big red coats, laughing at the sudden turn of events.

Ga: "Ach, cad é seo?
En: "But, what's this?"

Ga: " a mhothaigh Aoife go tobann, "tá an ghaoth ag éirí níos láidre!
En: Aoife suddenly felt, "The wind is getting stronger!"

Ga: "Bhí siad ag iompar na scáthanna ar nós seolta móra, agus thosaigh siad ag dul in airde, in airde go mall.
En: They were carrying the coats like big sails, and they started to rise slowly, slowly higher.

Ga: Bhí ionadh an domhain ar an mbeirt acu – bhí a scáthanna ag fónamh mar pharaisiúití beaga!
En: They were amazed – their coats were acting like little parachutes!

Ga: Seamus, a raibh greim daingean aige ar a scáth, gháir go hard le sceitimíní.
En: Seamus, holding his coat firmly, laughed excitedly.

Ga: "Féach orainn!
En: "Look at us!

Ga: Tá muid cosúil le h-éin!
En: We're like birds!"

Ga: "Aoife, a bhí beagáinín níos buartha, d'fhreagair, "Seamus, ní héin muid!
En: Aoife, a little more concerned, replied, "Seamus, we're not birds!

Ga: Conas a thuirlingfidh muid go sábháilte?
En: How will we land safely?"

Ga: "Ach bhí an gaoth gan trócaire agus thóg sé iad níos faide ó na hAillte, thar páirceanna glasa agus an t-aigéan mórthimpeall.
En: But the merciless wind carried them further from the cliffs, over green fields and the vast ocean.

Ga: D'fhéach na daoine síos orthu le hiontas ón mbóthar thíos.
En: People looked down at them in amazement from the road below.

Ga: Tar éis nóiméad de sheilg agus comhrá, thosaigh an ghaoth ag maolú.
En: After a moment of excitement and conversation, the wind started to weaken.

Ga: Thóg Seamus agus Aoife anuas iad féin de réir a chéile, an ghaoth ag siosarnach trí gach sciorta scátha.
En: Seamus and Aoife lowered themselves gradually, the wind whistling through each coat sleeve.

Ga: "Ullmhaigh le haghaidh tuirlingthe, Aoife!
En: "Prepare for landing, Aoife!"

Ga: " arsa Seamus, a gháire faoi réir.
En: Seamus said, smiling.

Ga: Le cúnamh na scáthanna mara scéithe, thuirling siad bog ar pháirc garbh agus iad sábháilte agus slán.
En: With the help of their sea-scaled coats, they landed softly on rough ground, safe and sound.

Ga: Bhí an ghrian ag teacht amach aríst, agus bhí éadaí uile Seamus agus Aoife fliuch go craiceann ach bhí aoibh an gháire orthu.
En: The sun was coming out again, and Seamus and Aoife's clothes were soaked to the skin, but they had smiles on their faces.

Ga: "Sin eispéireas nach ndéanfaimid dearmad air go brách!
En: "That's an experience we'll never forget!"

Ga: " gháir Aoife, agus iad ag breathnú suas ar na hAillte a bhí díreach níos tábhachtaí anois ná riamh.
En: Aoife exclaimed, as they looked up at the Cliffs, which were now more important than ever.

Ga: Bhain Seamus agus Aoife gach sult as lá a bhí lán le heachtraí agus scéal le hinsint nuair a thabharfadh siad aghaidh ar ais abhaile.
En: Seamus and Aoife enjoyed every moment of a day full of adventures and a story to tell when they returned home.

Ga: Anois, thug siad aghaidh ar an mbealach abhaile, lán le cuimhní neamhghnách agus scéal iontach faoi laethanta na gaoithe, na báistí, agus na scáthanna paraisiúití a rith leo thar na hAillte Móire.
En: Now, they turned their faces back home, full of extraordinary memories and a wonderful story about the windy, rainy, and paradisiacal coats that took them over the Cliffs of Moher.
