Story Transcript:

Ga: Lá fuar geimhridh a bhí ann.
En: It was a cold winter day.

Ga: Bhí síneadh anála na gaoithe ag glacadh le haillte Móthair.
En: The biting breath of the wind was meeting the Móthair cliffs.

Ga: Bhí ospidéal allamuigh suite ar imeall an chnoic mhóir seo.
En: An outdoor hospital was located on the edge of this large hill.

Ga: Ar an taobh istigh bhí Aoife, altra díograiseach, ag obair go dícheallach.
En: Inside was Aoife, a diligent nurse, working tirelessly.

Ga: Bhí sí ag breathnú ar Cian, turasóir a bhí gortaithe agus í ag iarraidh é a chothú agus a athlánú.
En: She was looking after Cian, an injured tourist, trying to nurture and restore him.

Ga: Tháinig Cian ó Cheanada.
En: Cian came from Canada.

Ga: Bhí sé ag taistil go hÉirinn chun na tírdhreacha iontacha a fheiceáil.
En: He was traveling to Ireland to see the magnificent landscapes.

Ga: Ach, rinne sé botún.
En: But, he made a mistake.

Ga: Áit dhainséarach is ea na haillte i rith geimhridh.
En: The cliffs are a dangerous place during winter.

Ga: Nuair a d’éirigh an ghaoth níos troime, thit Cian, ag gortú a chos.
En: When the wind became stronger, Cian fell, injuring his leg.

Ga: Ag féachaint ar a ghortú, ghlaoigh Aoife ar Liam.
En: Looking at his injury, Aoife called for Liam.

Ga: Bhí Liam ina bhanaltra páirteach, agus cé go raibh an-chraic aige i gcónaí, bhí scileanna breise aige a d'fhéadfadh cabhrú.
En: Liam was a part-time nurse, and although he was always full of fun, he had additional skills that could help.

Ga: Bhí sé iontach tuisceanach agus thuig sé an tábhacht nach raibh áiseanna leordhóthanacha ann.
En: He was remarkably understanding and realized the importance of the inadequate facilities.

Ga: Bhí Aoife buartha.
En: Aoife was worried.

Ga: Tá stoirm ag druidim, ní raibh leigheasanna leordhóthanacha acu, agus bhí Cian ag fulaingt ó phian.
En: A storm was approaching, they did not have sufficient remedies, and Cian was suffering from pain.

Ga: Bhí sí idir dhá chomhairle: fanacht le haghaidh na soláthraí nó iarracht a dhéanamh Cian a chothú lena cuid chuid mitheall féin.
En: She was torn between two choices: wait for the supplies or try to sustain Cian with her own efforts.

Ga: "Cad is féidir linn a dhéanamh?
En: "What can we do?"

Ga: ” d’fhiafraigh Aoife ar Liam go himníoch.
En: Aoife asked Liam anxiously.

Ga: "Féachaimis ar a bhfuil againn," a dúirt Liam go réidh.
En: "Let's see what we have," Liam said calmly.

Ga: Bhí sé gealgháireach, rud a chuir misneach ar Aoife.
En: He was cheerful, which gave Aoife encouragement.

Ga: Chabhraigh siad lena chéile leis an méid a bhí acu.
En: They helped each other with what they had.

Ga: Bhí Aoife ag úsáid leigheasanna atá curtha i stór na hospidéil allamuigh.
En: Aoife used medicines stored in the outdoor hospital.

Ga: D’úsáid sí bandáistí agus thuig sí go raibh airiú ar a scileanna féin.
En: She used bandages and understood that there was value in her own skills.

Ga: Le linn an stoirm ag teacht le fórsa, rinne Aoife socruithe.
En: As the storm approached with force, Aoife made arrangements.

Ga: Bhrúigh sí ar aghaidh, dírithe ar aghaidh a thabhairt agus lorg sí treoir a hínghutha féin in áit an bprótacal dian.
En: She pushed forward, focused on tackling the situation...
