Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí an scoil chónaithe clúiteach sin suite ar thaobh cnoc.
En: The renowned boarding school was situated on the side of a hill.

Ga: Ba é an t-am an Fómhar.
En: It was Autumn.

Ga: Bhí na duilleoga ag titim ar fud na háite.
En: The leaves were falling all around.

Ga: Bhí an chraobh ag athrú datha.
En: The branches were changing color.

Ga: Bhí Siobhán, Declan, agus Eoin ar scoil ansin.
En: Siobhán, Declan, and Eoin were attending school there.

Ga: Bhí Siobhán an chliste agus greannmhar.
En: Siobhán was very smart and funny.

Ga: Bhí griangraf uirthi ag baint taitnimh as ag tarraingt cleasanna.
En: There was a photo of her enjoying pulling pranks.

Ga: Lá amháin, bhí Siobhán ag smaoineamh ar an bprank is fearr.
En: One day, Siobhán was thinking about the best prank.

Ga: Bhí sé ar intinn aici cleas a imirt ar Eoin, a cara dílis.
En: She intended to play a trick on Eoin, her loyal friend.

Ga: Bhí sé ar aghaidh na scoile.
En: It was the talk of the school.

Ga: Bhí na mic léinn agus na múinteoirí ag súil leis.
En: The students and teachers were looking forward to it.

Ga: Bhí plean gleoite aici.
En: She had a clever plan.

Ga: Ba í an plean nach n-aithneodh Eoin itheann a mhála scoile le mustaird.
En: Her plan was that Eoin wouldn't recognize his school bag after it had been filled with mustard.

Ga: Ach, faraor, rinne sí botún.
En: But, unfortunately, she made a mistake.

Ga: Nuair a bhí sí ag cur an mustaird ar mhála Eoin, chuir sí i gcuimhne cleasán scothaiciméid uirthi.
En: When she was putting the mustard on Eoin's bag, she recalled a legendary prankster.

Ga: Thóg sí an mála mícheart.
En: She took the wrong bag.

Ga: Bhí an mála sin le Príomhoide Uasal O'Flaherty!
En: It was the bag of Principal Mr. O'Flaherty!

Ga: Bhí eagla ar Siobhán.
En: Siobhán was scared.

Ga: Cad a dhéanfaidh sí?
En: What would she do?

Ga: Ar maidin, bhí Príomhoide O'Flaherty ina sheasamh i lár an chlós.
En: In the morning, Principal O'Flaherty was standing in the middle of the yard.

Ga: Bhí an mála lán de mustaird aige.
En: He had the bag full of mustard.

Ga: Thosnaigh na daltaí ag gáire.
En: The students started laughing.

Ga: Bhí a fhios ag Siobhán go gcaithfeadh sí gníomh.
En: Siobhán knew she had to act.

Ga: Bhí sí idir dhá aigne.
En: She was in two minds.

Ga: An ndúirt sí an fhírinne nó an mheastar an milleán ar dhaoine eile?
En: Should she tell the truth or put the blame on others?

Ga: Bhí croí trom ag Siobhán.
En: Siobhán had a heavy heart.

Ga: Bhí sí ag smaoineamh faoi na hiarmhairtí.
En: She was thinking about the consequences.

Ga: Ach bhí a fhios aici nach raibh aon rud ceart murar mhíníodh sí an scéal.
En: But she knew nothing was right unless she explained the situation.

Ga: Chuaigh sí go hoifig an Phríomhoide.
En: She went to the Principal's office.

Ga: D’oscail sí an doras go cúramach.
En: She opened the door carefully.

Ga: Bhí Príomhoide O'Flaherty ag gáire fós go croíúil.
En: Principal O'Flaherty was still laughing heartily.

Ga: "Siobhán, tháinig mé ar rud cosúil leis nuair a bhí mé mo dhuine óg," a dúirt sé le meangadh mór air.
En: "Siobhán, I came across something like this when I was youn
