Story Transcript:
Ga: I lár an fhómhair, bhí dathannáin órga agus dearg ar chrann Killarney Tír na bPáirc.
En: In mid-autumn, the trees in Killarney Tír na bPáirc were adorned with golden and red leaves.
Ga: Chuir aibithe an dúlra críoch agus áit gheanúil ar fáil do Éamon, Fionnuala, agus Saoirse.
En: Nature provided a charming setting for Éamon, Fionnuala, and Saoirse.
Ga: Bhí Éamon i mbun tasc dúshlánach—ag eagrú cnuasaithe corparáideach a chuirfeadh gliondar ar chách agus a bheadh ábalta dáthanna Samhain a ghabháil.
En: Éamon was engaged in a challenging task—organizing a corporate gathering that would delight everyone and capture the colors of Samhain.
Ga: Bhí Fionnuala bríomhar, lán le spiorad na traidisiúin.
En: Fionnuala, full of vitality, was steeped in the spirit of tradition.
Ga: Bhí grá aici do ródhóiteáin, do pháirtithe Gaeilge, agus do chostais samhain.
En: She loved bonfires, Gaeilge parties, and Halloween festivities.
Ga: Theastaigh uaithi a chinntiú go mbeadh gach pearsantacht san oifig páirteach sa chomóradh féile.
En: She wanted to ensure that everyone in the office participated in the festival celebration.
Ga: Ar an taobh eile, bhí Saoirse, nua-churtha isteach sa chomhlacht, ag iarraidh a laighead rian nua-aimseartha a fhorbairt.
En: On the other hand, Saoirse, newly joined to the company, was eager to establish her own modern influence.
Ga: Bhí sí ag moladh cluichí foirne nua agus taispeántais amharclainne nuálacha a chur san áireamh.
En: She was suggesting new team games and innovative theater performances.
Ga: Bhí coincheapanna nua aici gur shíl sí a aontódh gach duine.
En: She had new ideas that she thought would unite everyone.
Ga: Bhí Éamon gafa, idir dhá cheann na hime.
En: Éamon was caught between two extremes.
Ga: Ar lá amháin, agus é ag siúl cois locha i gceantar sléibhtiúil an pháirc, mhothaigh sé go raibh caint le Fionnuala agus Saoirse de dhíth.
En: One day, as he walked by a lakeside in the mountainous area of the park, he felt that a conversation with Fionnuala and Saoirse was needed.
Ga: “Tá muid ag iarraidh ár gcroí a chur ar an lá seo,” a dúirt Fionnuala go bródúil, “ach is mian liom traidisiúin a chur sa tosaigh.”
En: “We want to put our heart into this day,” said Fionnuala proudly, “but I wish to prioritize traditions.”
Ga: "Is féidir linn traidisiúin agus nua-aoise a mheascadh,” a d’áitigh Saoirse, gealgháireach. “Agus samhail nua-aimseartha a chur le chéile.”
En: "We can mix traditions with modernity,” Saoirse argued, smiling brightly. “And create a new modern model.”
Ga: Lá an chnasc, tháinig an fhoireann le chéile faoin aer saorálach i bpaiceanna tuí num phong in aice na locha mór.
En: On the day of the event, the team gathered outdoors under a volunteer canopy in straw bales near the big lake.
Ga: Bhí iarracht Chúige ag an mbréagach ina gcroí.
En: A Chúige effort was in their hearts.
Ga: Ach ansin, tar éis gach rud a thabhairt chun bealaigh, léim cat dubh as an bhféar, rud a chuir ionadh agus gáire ar gach duine.
En: But then, after everything was set in motion, a black cat leaped from the grass, surprising and amusing everyone.
Ga: Sna nóiméid seo, d’fhoghlaim siad rud amháin tábhachtach—aon uair a bhíonn dúshlán ann, is féidir leis an tábhacht a thagann as láithreacht taithí agus difear dílis chuige dul in éagnaíocht.
En: In these moments, they learned one import
