Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí an lá fuar agus ceomhar i lár an gheimhridh.
En: It was a cold and misty day in the middle of winter.
Ga: Bhí sneachta ar na crainn agus bhí an fásrachán clúdaithe le sluagh de sholas bán.
En: Snow covered the trees, and the undergrowth was cloaked with a blanket of white light.
Ga: Ag siúl tríd an foraois bhí grúpa scoile, faoi threoir múinteora díograisigh, ag déanamh turais páirce.
En: Walking through the forest was a school group, led by an enthusiastic teacher, on a field trip.
Ga: Bhí an t-am Imbolc ann, féile na hathbheochána, ach bhí an fuacht fós ag brú ar na daltaí.
En: It was the time of Imbolc, the festival of renewal, but the cold still gripped the students.
Ga: Bhí Aisling ann, cailín óg a raibh grá mór aici don dúlra.
En: Aisling was there, a young girl who had a great love for nature.
Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh dán a chumadh do chomórtas scoile, ach ní raibh an tsíocháin ann.
En: She was trying to compose a poem for a school contest, but there was no peace.
Ga: Bhraith sí go raibh a cairde, Cian agus Maeve, níos gaire dá chéile ná í, rud a bhain geit as a buairt.
En: She felt that her friends, Cian and Maeve, were closer to each other than to her, which added to her unease.
Ga: Bhí sí ag éisteacht leis an gcrith gutha ón ngrúpa eile ach uaidhse sin, níor tháinig solace.
En: She listened to the chatter from the other group, but no comfort came from that.
Ga: Cian, buachaill a raibh iarracht i gcónaí aige aon gháire a bhaint as a dhaoine.
En: Cian, a boy always trying to elicit a smile from people.
Ga: Ach sa chúlra, bhí amhras ann faoina áit féin sa ghrúpa.
En: Yet in the background, he was doubtful of his own place in the group.
Ga: Bhí Maeve mar an laoch foirfe.
En: Maeve was the perfect hero.
Ga: Bhí sí cliste, tuisceanach agus bhí sí fíor-mhaith ag réiteach achrainn idir chairde.
En: She was smart, understanding, and very good at resolving conflicts between friends.
Ga: Fé chíod na breacaí fearthainne a bhain ar a aghaidh, bhí sí dírithe ar choinneáil suaimhneach.
En: Despite the raindrops on her face, she was focused on maintaining calm.
Ga: Bhí Aisling suite ag deireadh an ghrúpa.
En: Aisling was situated at the back of the group.
Ga: Bhí sí ag smaoineamh ar na focail nach dtagann.
En: She was thinking about the words that would not come.
Ga: D’fhéach sí timpeall.
En: She looked around.
Ga: Uair amháin, os comhair crainn mhóra, shocraigh sí uirthi féin dul ar fán leis féin.
En: At one point, in front of large trees, she decided to wander off alone.
Ga: Bhí gá le ciúnas, leis an saoirse chun smaoineamh.
En: She needed silence, the freedom to think.
Ga: Ach ní fada go raibh sí dícheangailte.
En: But soon she was disconnected.
Ga: Bhí an foraois ghlasra i ngach treo.
En: The forest was green in every direction.
Ga: Ní feictear na rian gcos níos mó.
En: The tracks were no longer visible.
Ga: Bhí mearbhall uirthi, ach mheas sí í féin a bheith cróga agus lean ar aghaidh.
En: She was confused but thought herself brave and continued onward.
Ga: I dir sheomra an choillte, thosaigh Aisling ag mothú eagla.
En: In the middle of the woods, Aisling began to feel frightened.
Ga: Bhí rith sa ghiorracht, ach chuir an ceo troime cos aithne ar tír na seanra.
En: There was a st
