Story Transcript:

Ga: Lá amháin, bhí fear óg darb ainm Seamus ag siúl trí ghleannta glasa na hÉireann le beirt cairde dílis, Fiona agus Aiden.
En: One day, a young man named Seamus was walking through the green valleys of Ireland with his two loyal friends, Fiona and Aiden.

Ga: Bhí siad ar a mbealach chun an Chloch Cáiliúil a phógadh, chloch a bhí ar a dtugtar Cloch Bhlarnan.
En: They were on their way to kiss the Famous Stone, which was known as the Blarney Stone.

Ga: De réir na finscéalta, tabharfadh póg ar an gCloch seo naomhthacht na gcainnteanna.
En: According to legends, kissing this stone would give the kisser the eloquence of speech.

Ga: Nuair a shroich siad an áit draíochtúil, bhí réimse leathan de thurasóirí ina seasamh sa scuaine, ag fanacht lena n-uair a bheith acu an chloch a phógadh.
En: When they reached the magical place, there was a wide range of tourists standing in line, waiting for their turn to kiss the stone.

Ga: Bhí Seamus lán de sceitimíní agus bhí sé ag caint gan stad le Fiona agus Aiden faoin méid a dhéanfadh sé leis an mbéilín óir a bheadh aige tar éis dó a mhian a chomhlíonadh.
En: Seamus was full of excitement and was continuously talking with Fiona and Aiden about what he would do with the golden speech he would have after fulfilling his wish.

Ga: Le gleo agus gliondar, d'éirigh sé in airde ar an gcarn cloiche agus dhruid sé a shúile go dlúth, ag samhlú an tsaoil nua a bheadh aige.
En: With excitement and joy, he climbed up the stone pile and closed his eyes tightly, imagining the new life he would have.

Ga: Ach, d'aon ghnó, ní an Chloch a phóg sé, ach donkey a bhí leata ar an bhféar gar dó, ag sú na gréine go sámh.
En: But to everyone's surprise, he didn't kiss the stone, but a donkey that was grazing on the grass nearby, enjoying the sunshine peacefully.

Ga: Agus gan ach nóiméad, tháinig tuiscint iontach ar Sheamus.
En: And in just a moment, Seamus had a wonderful realization.

Ga: D'éist sé timpeall agus d'aithin sé glaonna na ndonkeys ina thimpeallacht.
En: He listened around and recognized the donkeys' calls in his surroundings.

Ga: Bhain sé triail as cúpla focal, agus go hiontaofa, d'fhreagair an donkey air!
En: He tried a few words, and amazingly, the donkey responded!

Ga: Bhí cumas cainte as an ngnáth aige anois – teanga na ndonkeys!
En: He now had the ability to speak the usual language – the language of the donkeys!

Ga: Ní raibh Fiona ná Aiden in ann a gcreideamh cad a chonaic siad.
En: Fiona and Aiden couldn't believe what they saw.

Ga: Bhí gáirí uathu ach bhí iontas mór orthu freisin nuair a thuig siad gur labhair Seamus go líofa leis an ainmhí.
En: They laughed, but were also greatly surprised when they realized that Seamus was fluently speaking with the animal.

Ga: Faraor, ní raibh an cumas seo chomh hiontach leis an méid a shamhlaigh Seamus.
En: Unfortunately, this ability wasn't as magnificent as Seamus had imagined.

Ga: Ba bheag an tairbhe a bhí sa chumraíocht nuair a bhí sé ag iarraidh caint le daoine.
En: The usefulness of speaking donkey wasn't as great as interacting with people.

Ga: Tháinig sé chun bheith ina ábhar magaidh dá chairde agus dá mhuintir.
En: He became a subject of ridicule to his friends and family.

Ga: Theastaigh uaidh a bhéilín óir a fháil ar ais, agus teanga na ndaoine a úsáid arís.
En: He wanted to get his golden speech back, and to use the language of the people again.

Ga: Chinn Seamus díriú ar an bhfadhb.
En: Seamus decided to focus on the problem.

Ga: D'fhill sé ar ais go dtí an Chloch Bhlarnan le Fiona agus Aiden.
En: He returned to the Blarney Stone with Fiona and Aiden.

Ga: D'iarr sé cabhair ón donkey céanna, agus le beagán treorach, d'éirigh leis an gCloch cheart a phógadh an uair seo.
En: He asked for help from the same donkey, and with a little guidance, he managed to kiss the right Stone this time.

Ga: An nóiméad a dteagmháil a bheola leis an bhCloch fíor, mhothaigh sé sileadh as a theanga – bhí a chumhacht labhartha le daoine ar ais aige, ach cailleadh teanga na ndonkeys!
En: The moment his lips touched the actual Stone, he felt a rush of his language – he had regained his speaking powers with people, but had lost the language of the donkeys!

Ga: D'fhill an saol ar ais go gnáth, ach d'fhág an eachtra seo ceacht luachmhar i ndiaidh Seamus, agus gáire go deo i gcuimhne a chairde.
En: Life returned to normal, but this incident left an invaluable lesson for Seamus, and a lifelong laughter for his friends.

Ga: Thug Seamus buíochas leis an donkey, a chuid cairde, agus, ar ndóigh, leis an gCloch Bhlarnan féin.
En: Seamus thanked the donkey, his friends, and, of course, the Blarney Stone itself.

Ga: Rinne sé gáire as a eachtra agus gheall sé gan dearmad a dhéanamh ar aislingí agus ar fhírinne na finscéalta Éireannacha.
En: He laughed at his adventure and promised not to forget the dreams and truths of Irish folklore.

Ga: Tháinig críoch sona ar a scéal, críoch a thug gáire dá chairde agus teagasc dó féin.
En: It had a happy ending, one that brought laughter to his friends and taught him a lesson.
