Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí gála ag séideadh agus clúdach dubh na scamall ag bualadh le chéile os cionn Aillte an Mhothair. En: A gale was blowing and the dark cover of clouds was clashing above the Aillte an Mhothair.

Ga: Bhí na tonnta thíos ag preabadh suas, amhail is dá mbeadh siad ag iarraidh greim a fháil ar chlaí Pheadair. En: The waves below were bouncing up, as if trying to grasp Pheadar's fence.

Ga: Bhí Cian, Saoirse agus Niall ann le chéile ag déanamh lae díobh féin ar an gcosán caol ar imeall na haillte. En: Cian, Saoirse, and Niall were there together, making a day of it on the narrow path at the edge of the cliffs.

Ga: Bhí Cian i gcónaí toilteanach ar eachtraí nua, ach istigh ina chroí, bhí eagla air roimh airde. En: Cian was always willing for new adventures, but deep in his heart, he was afraid of heights.

Ga: Bhí Saoirse ag breathnú síos ar na tonnta go ceanúil. En: Saoirse was looking down at the waves fondly.

Ga: "Nach iontach na radhairc seo? En: "Aren't these views amazing?"

Ga: " a dúirt sí, a guth lán le hiontas. En: she said, her voice full of wonder.

Ga: Bhí sí mar dídean gránna an ghrúpa. En: She was like the group's ugly shelter.

Ga: D'ardaigh Niall a fholt dearg ón stoirm agus thug sé compord dá chuid cairde. En: Niall lifted his red hair from the storm and provided comfort to his friends.

Ga: "Is fearr dúinn filleadh. En: "We better head back.

Ga: Tá an aimsir ag éirí níos measa," a mhol sé go réasúnta. En: The weather is getting worse," he suggested reasonably.

Ga: Stopadar ar feadh nóiméid, na gálaí á sciorradh orthu. En: They stopped for a moment, the gusts sweeping over them.

Ga: Bhradán gruama, ghlac Cian a anáil. En: Grimly, Cian caught his breath.

Ga: Bhí eagla air i ndáiríre, ach ní raibh sé ag iarraidh a mhothúcháin a nochtadh. En: He was truly scared, but he didn’t want to reveal his feelings.

Ga: Tháinig faitíos air go bhfillfeadh an chonair sléibhe isteach san fharraige thíos. En: He feared the mountain path would collapse into the sea below.

Ga: Ach bhí sé ag iarraidh cabhrú lena chairde. En: But he wanted to help his friends.

Ga: "O táim ag smaoineamh ar choir bhóithrín eile a tharla dom le feiceáil níos luaithe," arsa Cian. En: "Oh, I'm thinking of another shortcut I came across earlier," said Cian.

Ga: “Níl sé i bhfad as seo. En: "It's not far from here."

Ga: " D'fhéach Saoirse air le dóchas. En: Saoirse looked at him with hope.

Ga: "Ionadh orm! En: "A surprise!

Ga: Is muid is féinseallta! En: We're taking a selfie!"

Ga: "Go tobann, rinne gaoth níos tirime stoc a dóite go géar agus chur pian ar Cian. En: Suddenly, a drier wind hit sharply and caused pain to Cian.

Ga: Chaith a chroí isteach ina scornach. En: His heart leapt into his throat.

Ga: "An bhfuil tú ceart go leor? En: "Are you okay?"

Ga: " arsa Niall agus slyipping aníos láimh Cian. En: said Niall, slipping up Cian's arm.

Ga: Buí leis an mea, chiorraigh Cian ar an romharán agus bhí a chosa arís faoi talamh soladach. En: Thanks to the support, Cian stumbled onto solid ground.

Ga: Thóg Cian am chun a anáil a ghlanadh, a chroí cineál ag teacht beo. En: Cian took a moment to clear his breath, his heart slowly coming back to life.

Ga: Ní raibh ann ach a rachadh a chairde a chur ar an mbealach ceart. En: It was only going to get his friends on the right path.

Ga: Agus thug sé orthu fanacht socair le fórsa a chroí. En: And he urged them to stay calm with the force of his heart.

Ga: Le chéile, d'aimsigh an triúir dídean i dteachín beag in aice le hionad cuairteoirí na n-aillte. En: Together, the three found refuge in a small cottage near the visitor center of the cliffs.

Ga: Bhraitheadar buíoch agus sábháilte faoi dheireadh. En: They felt grateful and safe at last.
