Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhí lá scamallach samhraidh i gConamara.
En: It was a cloudy summer day in Conamara.
Ga: Bhí Eamon agus Saoirse ag taistil tríd an tír.
En: Eamon and Saoirse were traveling through the country.
Ga: Chonaic siad áilleacht na cnoic rollach agus na locha ciúin amach as an bhfuinneog.
En: They saw the beauty of the rolling hills and the quiet lakes out the window.
Ga: Bhí an ceo ag luí go trom ar shléibhte na Márta.
En: The mist was lying heavily on the Márta mountains.
Ga: Bhí ocras orthu agus stop siad ag caifé cois bóthair.
En: They were hungry and stopped at a roadside café.
Ga: Bhí an caifé beag agus sean, ach bhí boladh breá taosráin le mothú ann.
En: The café was small and old, but there was a lovely smell of pastries in the air.
Ga: D’ordaigh siad caife agus cáca milis, agus shuigh siad síos.
En: They ordered coffee and cake, and sat down.
Ga: Fad is a bhí siad ag éisteacht leis an mbogán craolta ar an raidió, tharla rud neamhghnách.
En: While they were listening to the soft music playing on the radio, something unusual happened.
Ga: Tháinig fear isteach, ag breathnú uaigneach agus buartha.
En: A man came in, looking lonely and worried.
Ga: Shuigh sé ag an mbord in aice leo.
En: He sat at the table next to them.
Ga: Thóg sé amach páipéar, scrúdaigh sé é go dian, agus gan choinne, d’imigh sé amach go tapa gan pingin a íoc.
En: He took out a paper, examined it intensely, and unexpectedly, he left quickly without paying a cent.
Ga: D’fhág sé an páipéar ar an mbord.
En: He left the paper on the table.
Ga: Bhí fiosracht ar Eamon.
En: Eamon was curious.
Ga: “Caithfidh mé a fháil amach céard atá ar an bpáipéar,” a dúirt sé go neirbhíseach le Saoirse.
En: “I must find out what's on the paper,” he said nervously to Saoirse.
Ga: Bhí cúram ar Shaoirse.
En: Saoirse was concerned.
Ga: “Ná bí ag iarraidh trioblóide, Eamon,” arsa sí, ach níor éist sé.
En: “Don’t go looking for trouble, Eamon,” she said, but he didn’t listen.
Ga: Thóg Eamon an páipéar.
En: Eamon picked up the paper.
Ga: Ní raibh ann ach mapa aisteach a bhí líonta le línte agus seanchomharthaí.
En: It was just a strange map filled with lines and old symbols.
Ga: “Seo céim nár cheart dúinn a thógáil,” a dúirt Saoirse go míshásta.
En: “This is a step we shouldn't take,” said Saoirse unhappily.
Ga: Ach bhí preab sa chroí ag Eamon agus tarraingíodh Saoirse leis.
En: But Eamon felt a thrill and Saoirse was drawn along.
Ga: Lean siad na comharthaí.
En: They followed the signs.
Ga: Thóg an mapa iad tríd coill dorcha, cosáin cuaineach a bhí clúdaithe le fiaclach.
En: The map led them through a dark forest, winding paths covered with brambles.
Ga: Bhí fothram na n-éan mar chompánach acu.
En: The sound of the birds was their companion.
Ga: Ina dhiaidh sin, tháinig siad go raibh an t-áit a bhí le feiceáil ar an mapa.
En: Eventually, they came to the place shown on the map.
Ga: Bhí balla caocha rompu, ach bhí doras beag folaithe ag barr an bhalla.
En: There was a blind wall before them, but a small hidden door at the top of the wall.
Ga: Osclaíodh an doras le cnag amháin.
En: The door opened with a single knock.
Ga: Tháinig siad isteach i ngairdín draíochta, áit a raibh bláthanna annamh ag fás.
En:
