Story Transcript:
Ga: Tá an ghrian ag taitneamh go geal ar maidin samhraidh, agus tá aer úr an Atlantaigh ag líonadh na scamhóga.
En: The sun is shining brightly on a summer morning, and the fresh Atlantic air is filling their lungs.
Ga: Cian, Orla, agus Saoirse ag siúl suas na céimeanna ársa ar an Oileán Mhichil.
En: Cian, Orla, and Saoirse are walking up the ancient steps on Oileán Mhichil.
Ga: Tá dainséar sa radharc, ach tá áilleacht ann freisin.
En: There's danger in sight, but there's beauty too.
Ga: Tá na haillte ann cosúil le mil spéisiúil a mheallann iad ar aghaidh.
En: The cliffs stand like a remarkable honey that draws them onward.
Ga: Bhí Cian i gceannas mar is gnáth.
En: Cian was in charge as usual.
Ga: Is fear é a mbíonn plean aige i gcónaí, a cheapann go domhain ar gach céim.
En: He is a man who always has a plan, who thinks deeply about every step.
Ga: Is álainn an lá é, gan scamall sa spéir.
En: It is a beautiful day, without a cloud in the sky.
Ga: Bhí Orla ag rith suas na céimeanna, ag leanúint fuaim na n-éan mara a bhí ag screadaíl sa spéir.
En: Orla was running up the steps, following the sound of the sea birds screeching in the sky.
Ga: "Saoirse, tar anseo!
En: "Saoirse, come here!
Ga: Féach," a scairt Orla, ag díriú ar na clocha a bhí timpeall orthu.
En: Look," Orla shouted, pointing to the rocks around them.
Ga: Ach bhí Saoirse tuirseach, agus ní raibh sí in ann cíor mhaithé bheith ag rith ar nós Orla.
En: But Saoirse was tired, and she couldn't run as spryly as Orla.
Ga: Go tobann, bhraith Saoirse lag.
En: Suddenly, Saoirse felt weak.
Ga: Chonaic Cian í ag dul bán, agus d'fhéach sé isteach is amach ar fud an oileáin, a chuid smaointe ag rith mar ghaoth.
En: Cian saw her turning pale and looked around the island, his thoughts racing like the wind.
Ga: Bhí a fhios aige nach raibh mórán ama acu.
En: He knew they didn't have much time.
Ga: Bhí an t-oileán iargúlta, as lámhach na sibhialtachta.
En: The island was remote, out of reach of civilization.
Ga: Bhí uisce uathu.
En: They needed water.
Ga: "Caithfimid cabhair a fháil," arsa Cian go daingean, ag glacadh a mála agus ag rith chuig Saoirse.
En: "We need to get help," Cian said firmly, taking his bag and running towards Saoirse.
Ga: Chuir sé a lámh ar a chroí agus d’fhan Orla leis, a súile ag iniúchadh gach stuaille cloiche.
En: He put his hand on her heart and Orla stayed with him, her eyes scanning every rocky nook.
Ga: Rith Orla ar aghaidh, a chroí ag dul buille leis an chroitheadh an excitement.
En: Orla ran ahead, her heart pounding with the thrill of the excitement.
Ga: Bhí a fhios aici go raibh gá leis an guthán, le leigheas.
En: She knew they needed the phone, the remedy.
Ga: Bhain sí na cosáin chaol amach, agus sa deireadh, chonaic sí an tras féin, an seana-chros cloiche a sheas ar an gcró éigin.
En: She reached the narrow paths, and finally, she saw the cross itself, the old stone cross standing on some crest.
Ga: Ann, bhí treoraí turasanna.
En: There was a tour guide there.
Ga: Buíochas le Dia, bhí raidió aige agus cairtí leighis.
En: Thank God, he had a radio and medical supplies.
Ga: Tháinig Cian le Saoirse ar a ghualainn.
En: Cian came with Saoirse on his shoulder.
Ga: D'úsáid siad an t-uisce agus an soláthar a chu
