Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí Niamh ag siúl tríd Central Park i lár Urban Metropolis.
En: Niamh was walking through Central Park in the middle of Urban Metropolis.
Ga: Ba mhaidin fhionn í sa bhfómhar, agus bhí na duilleoga timpeall uirthi ag athrú dath ó shéideáin go hórgaí agus deargdhathanna breátha.
En: It was a bright autumn morning, and the leaves around her were changing color from green to golden and rich reds.
Ga: Bhog sí go dtí an chathair mhór ó baile beag in Éirinn tamall ó shin.
En: She had moved to the big city from a small town in Éirinn some time ago.
Ga: Bhí sí ag mothú uaigneach uaireanta, cé go raibh sí lán le fionnachtain.
En: She sometimes felt lonely, although she was full of exploration.
Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh grianghraif de áilleacht an fhómhair a thógáil agus iad a sheoladh abhaile go hÉirinn.
En: She wanted to take pictures of the autumn beauty and send them home to Éirinn.
Ga: Ach bhí an aimsir scamallach ar an lá sin, rud a rinne sé deacair do Niamh na dathanna geala a ghabháil ina pictiúir.
En: But the weather was cloudy that day, making it difficult for Niamh to capture the bright colors in her pictures.
Ga: Bhraith sí uaigneach agus as alt le nithiúlacht an áitribh nua.
En: She felt lonely and out of place with the reality of the new environment.
Ga: Ach shocraigh sí ar dhul ar chosán eile sa pháirc, ag súil le láthair níos fearr a fháil le soilsiú níos fearr agus radharc ar leith.
En: But she decided to take another path in the park, hoping to find a better spot with better lighting and a unique view.
Ga: Thosaigh sí ag siúl ar imeall locha bheaga, áit a raibh na crainn ag lúbadh síos go dtí an t-uisce.
En: She started walking along the edge of a small lake, where the trees were bending down to the water.
Ga: Go tobann, chonaic sí Cormac agus Aoife, beirt deartháir ón Éirinn freisin, a bhí ar cuairt ag an gcathair.
En: Suddenly, she saw Cormac and Aoife, two siblings from Éirinn as well, who were visiting the city.
Ga: Thosaigh plé eadrainn agus thugadar cuireadh di dul leo go dtí an coill i bhfolach gar dóibh.
En: A conversation started between us and they invited her to go with them to a hidden grove nearby.
Ga: Bhí an spreagadh ag Niamh, mar gur mothaigh sí céimnithe cheana féin, agus chuaigh sí leo.
En: Niamh was encouraged, as she had been feeling faded already, and she went with them.
Ga: D'umhlaghadar tríd crainn lár an choill, áit a bhris an ghrian trí na scamaill san aer.
En: They bent through the trees in the middle of the woods, where the sun broke through the clouds in the sky.
Ga: Bhí sé draíochtúil beag beann ar an radharc roimhe.
En: It was magical regardless of the view ahead.
Ga: B'iontach an imeall dearg, oráiste agus ór a bhí ina mála, líonta le dathanna ag taitneamh go soiléir faoi sholas na gréine.
En: The red, orange and gold edge of her bag was stunning, filled with colors shining brightly under the sunlight.
Ga: Thóg Niamh cuid mhaith de na pictiúir is áille a bhí aici le fada an lá.
En: Niamh took some of the most beautiful pictures she had in a long time.
Ga: Bhí craic mhaith acu agus bhí cairdeas nua a thógáil.
En: They had great fun and new friendships were being formed.
Ga: Bhí sí lán le comhluadar, agus ag an nóiméad sin d'airigh sí nasc le háitniú agus le háilleacht timpeall uirthi.
En: She was full of company, and at that moment she felt a
