Story Transcript:

Ga: Lá breá samhraidh a bhí ann.
En: It was a beautiful summer's day.

Ga: Bhí na Trá Ghearr ag an tAillte Mhóra i gcónaí le hAisling, Cillian, agus Ronan.
En: The Trá Ghearr were at the Aillte Mhóra with Aisling, Cillian, and Ronan.

Ga: Bhí na tonnta ag briseadh go h-árd ar na haillte thíos fúthu agus bhí grian geal ag taitneamh anuas orthu.
En: The waves were breaking high on the cliffs below them, and a bright sun shone down on them.

Ga: Bhí sé ar intinn ag Aisling an radharc álainn ar breacadh an lae a fheiceáil leis an beirt chara is fearr léi.
En: Aisling intended to see the beautiful view at dawn with her two best friends.

Ga: Thosaigh siad ag dreapadh na n-aillte leis an radharc nefasta sin a bhaint amach.
En: They started climbing the cliffs to reach that breathtaking view.

Ga: Bhí Ronan lán le greann, ag déanamh scéalta barrúla agus ag spreagadh na beirte a bheith ar a sáimhe.
En: Ronan was full of humor, telling funny stories and encouraging the pair to relax.

Ga: Ach i sbéal Aisling, chonaic sí go raibh rud éigin ag cur as do Ronan.
En: But in Aisling's story, she noticed that something was troubling Ronan.

Ga: Bhí sé ag lagú, a aghaidh ag dul bán.
En: He was weakening, his face turning pale.

Ga: Níor inis sé riamh í féin nó Cillian faoina bhfadhb sláinte.
En: He never told her or Cillian about his health problem.

Ga: Le heagla i gcroí Aisling, thit Ronan ar an talamh.
En: With fear in Aisling's heart, Ronan fell to the ground.

Ga: "Ronan!" scairt Aisling i bponc.
En: "Ronan!" Aisling shouted in distress.

Ga: "Tá cabhair uait!"
En: "You need help!"

Ga: Bhí sé soiléir anois go raibh géarchéim sláinte tromchúiseach aige.
En: It was clear now that he had a serious health crisis.

Ga: Ghlaoigh Aisling ar na seirbhísí éigeandála, cé go raibh sí buartha go mbeadh séoraí Ronan nochtaithe mar gheall ar a chinneadh.
En: Aisling called emergency services, even though she was worried that Ronan's secret would be exposed because of her decision.

Ga: Tháinig an chopper ag gearrán na spéire trasna.
En: The chopper came slicing across the sky.

Ga: Bhí Cillian ag streachailt san áit; ní raibh a fhios aige an raibh sé níos fearr fanacht le hAITLING agus Ronan nó cabhrú leis an bhfoireann tarrthála.
En: Cillian struggled in the situation; he didn't know whether it was better to stay with Aisling and Ronan or assist the rescue team.

Ga: Chinn sé fanacht le Ronan, coimeád a lámh hantúil i lámh lena chara maith.
En: He decided to stay with Ronan, keeping his handy hand in his good friend's hand.

Ga: Bhí muinín ag Cillian inniu sa chomh-oibre ab chomasach.
En: Cillian had confidence today in the capable cooperation.

Ga: Ag an am sin, tháinig an héileacaptar gar do na haillte le tuirlingt.
En: At that time, the helicopter came close to the cliffs to land.

Ga: Ba é an fhoireann tarrthála a scaoil sínínínín síos go cúramach.
En: The rescue team carefully lowered a stretcher.

Ga: Bhí an oibríocht deacair, ach bhí Ronan sábháilte sa deireadh san ospidéal comharsanachta, agus scéil sé an gluais ag dul air.
En: The operation was difficult, but Ronan was finally safe in the neighboring hospital, and he narrated the rush that came over him.

Ga: Bhí faoiseamh ar Aisling.
En: Aisling was relieved.

Ga: Bhí tuiscint nua aici gur choir...
