Story Transcript:

Ga: Ar lá geal bríomhar i mBaile an Chollaigh, bhí triúr cairde ag siúl go dána tríd na gáirdíní glasa.
En: On a bright lively day in Blarney village, three friends strolled boldly through the green gardens.

Ga: Bhí Sean, Maeve agus Niamh ar eachtraíocht ataigh.
En: Sean, Maeve, and Niamh were on an adventurous quest.

Ga: Bhí sé mar aidhm acu an Chloch Bhlarney a phógadh, chun na scileanna cainte iontacha a fháil.
En: Their aim was to kiss the Blarney Stone to gain excellent speaking skills.

Ga: "Breathnaigh!
En: "Look!"

Ga: " arsa Maeve go tobann, agus í ag síneadh a méire chun an chloch legendartha.
En: exclaimed Maeve suddenly, reaching her hand towards the legendary stone.

Ga: Bhí an Chloch Bhlarney os a gcomhair, ina suí go hard ar bharr an chaisleáin ársa.
En: The Blarney Stone sat before them, perched high atop the ancient castle.

Ga: Bhí scéalta agus finscéalta éagsúla cloiste acu faoin gCloch Draíochta seo, agus bhí sceitimíní orthu go deo an bhrí as sin a fháil.
En: They had heard various tales and legends about this magical stone and were thrilled to extract its essence.

Ga: "Bhuel," arsa Sean go misneach, "Tá sé in am domsa mo dhánacht a thaispeáint.
En: "Well," said Sean confidently, "It's time for me to showcase my poetry."

Ga: " Chuaigh sé chun tosaigh agus shuigh sé síos gar don chloch.
En: He stepped forward and sat down near the stone.

Ga: Bhí éad orm, ach bhí gáire orm freisin.
En: I was afraid, but I also laughed.

Ga: Ní fhaca mé a leithéid riamh roimhe.
En: I had never seen anything like it before.

Ga: Thosaigh Niamh agus Maeve ag gáire, áit a raibh Sean ceangailte go fánach le ceann tuí thar imeall an chaisleáin.
En: Niamh and Maeve started laughing, where Sean was caught hanging precariously with his head over the edge of the castle.

Ga: Bhí duine de na freastalaithe ag an láthair go tapaidh, fear mór láidir le gáire mór.
En: One of the attendants quickly arrived, a big strong man with hearty laughter.

Ga: "Á, ná bí buartha!
En: "Oh, don't worry!"

Ga: " ar sé agus í ag oscailt a lámha chun Sean a shábháil.
En: he said, reaching out his hands to save Sean.

Ga: "Tarlíonn sé seo an t-am ar fad!
En: "This happens all the time!"

Ga: "Tháinig Niamh agus Maeve timpeall, a lámha á síneadh chun cabhrú leis an bhfear sa tarrtháil.
En: Niamh and Maeve came around, reaching out their hands to help the man in the rescue.

Ga: Le beagán dua, d’éirigh leo Sean a tharraingt ar ais suas, a aghaidh dearg le náire ach sásta a bheith sábháilte arís.
En: With a little effort, they succeeded in pulling Sean back up, his face red with embarrassment but relieved to be safe again.

Ga: "Ní chreidim go mbeidh mé ag iarraidh póg eile a thabhairt don Chloch sin arís!
En: "I can't believe I'll have to give another kiss to that stone again!"

Ga: " arsa Sean, ag magadh fúth féin, agus é ag cur a lámh thar a chroí.
En: joked Sean, patting his heart.

Ga: Ghabh an freastalaí gaire eile agus dúirt, "Tá na scileanna cainte agaibh anois, creid uaim é!
En: The attendant burst into another laugh and said, "You have the gift of gab now, believe me!"

Ga: "D’fhág an triúr carad an Chloch Bhlarney agus iad ag gáire agus ag scéalaíocht faoin eachtraíocht allta a bhí acu.
En: The trio left the Blarney Stone, laughing and sharing stories about the wild adventure they had just experienced.

Ga: Thuig siad gur scil iontach a bhí sa chumas gáire a dhéanamh eatarthu féin, fiú gan póg draíochta an Chloich Bhlarney.
En: They realized that they had a wonderful skill in making each other laugh, even without the magical kiss of the Blarney Stone.

Ga: Ón lá sin i leith, bhí clú agus cáil ar Sean, Maeve, agus Niamh mar thrí cairde a thug gáire agus áthas chuile áit a ndeachaigh siad.
En: From that day on, Sean, Maeve, and Niamh were famous as the three friends who brought laughter and joy everywhere they went.

Ga: Agus mura raibh siad sásta roimhe seo, bhí siad sásta anois go deo.
En: And if they weren't happy before, they were now happy forever.
