Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí gaoth bhlasta fómhar ag séideadh tríd an ngort, líonta le boladh milis úll agus cainéal.
En: A fragrant autumn wind was blowing through the field, filled with the sweet smell of apples and cinnamon.
Ga: Bhí Aoife, a sheol an imeacht, ag cur fáilte roimh chuairteoirí chuig páirc na bpónairí agus an gharraí úll i gContae Chill Chainnigh.
En: Aoife, who organized the event, was welcoming visitors to the pumpkin patch and apple orchard in Contae Chill Chainnigh.
Ga: Bhí Siobhán agus Cormac ag teacht sa charr, ag súil leis an deireadh seachtaine rómánsúil a bhí Siobhán ag eagrú go ceann seachtainí anois.
En: Siobhán and Cormac were arriving by car, looking forward to the romantic weekend that Siobhán had been planning for weeks now.
Ga: Siobhán a bhí lán de smaointe amscaí agus sceon beag istigh.
En: Siobhán was full of awkward thoughts and a little bit of fear inside.
Ga: Is breá léi a bheith cróga, ach is beag a thuigeann daoine é gach uair a théann slua mór chun donais ar a pioc sonas féin.
En: She loves being brave, but few people understand this every time a big crowd turns on her own chosen source of happiness.
Ga: Bhí plean aici siúl leis an lá, a súil ag léim ar aon áit a mbeadh Cormac ag gáire.
En: She planned to go with the flow of the day, her eyes jumping to any place where Cormac would be laughing.
Ga: Ar a dtabhairt cuairt, b’éigint sin go raibh páistí ag rith, gáire ag teacht ó gach áit, agus an t-atmaisféar lán le sceitimíní ós rud é go raibh Halloween ar na bacáin.
En: Upon their visit, there were children running, laughter coming from all around, and the atmosphere was full of excitement since Halloween was approaching.
Ga: "Cá dtosóimid?
En: "Where should we start?"
Ga: " a d'fhiafraigh Cormac, a raibh chomh suaimhneach.
En: asked Cormac, who was so relaxed.
Ga: B'in nuair a shíl Siobhán súilbhar a shocrú, ag féachaint ar an gcomhartha mhór: "Comórtas Arm na dTorthaí.
En: That's when Siobhán decided to fix her gaze, looking at the big sign: "Fruit Throwing Contest."
Ga: ""D'fhéadfadh sé a bheith spraoi,” a dúirt sí le heagla istigh uirthi ach le dúil i bhfogha mar níor mhian léi easpa íomhá spraíúla a nochtadh do Cormac.
En: "It could be fun," she said, with fear inside her but eager with anticipation as she didn't want to reveal a lack of playful images to Cormac.
Ga: Chuir Aoife síneadh le Siobhán sa scuaine.
En: Aoife joined Siobhán in the queue.
Ga: ”Tá cuma déanta agaibh an clárú don chomórtas!
En: "It looks like you've signed up for the contest!
Ga: Beidh sé iontach spraoi!
En: It will be great fun!"
Ga: ”Ach ní rachfadh rudaí mar is ceart.
En: But things wouldn't go as planned.
Ga: Líníodh siar é agus thuirling sí os comhair sléibhe pióg, daoine ag bualadh bos agus daoine ag gleadhradh leis an bhfuadach.
En: She was drawn back and landed in front of a pie hill, people clapping and cheering at the turmoil.
Ga: Ba bhuille neamhbhunaithe é.
En: It was an unexpected blow.
Ga: Bhí Siobhán ag croith ina ceann, ag aistear gan a bheith inniúlacht uirthi.
En: Siobhán was shaking her head, on a journey without skill.
Ga: “Cormac!
En: "Cormac!"
Ga: ” Bhí Sé ag gáire, a thagann trí an lucht féachana.
En: He was laughing, coming through the audience.
Ga: Móiméad na heagla is mó dá saol.
En: The most frightening mome
