Story Transcript:

Ga: Bhí maidin álainn sa samhradh.
En: It was a beautiful summer morning.

Ga: Bhí Maeve agus Cillian ar tí rud éigin speisialta a dhéanamh.
En: Maeve and Cillian were about to do something special.

Ga: Bhí an dá chara ag siúl ar Chlocha an Mhothair.
En: The two friends were walking on Chlocha an Mhothair.

Ga: Bhí an t-atmaisféar draíochta agus an fharraige mar dheasghabháil ciúin thíos.
En: The atmosphere was magical, and the sea was a calm presence below.

Ga: Bhí an-spéis ag Maeve san áit seo.
En: Maeve had a great interest in this place.

Ga: Shocraigh sí an phictiúr Instagram is fearr a ghlacadh.
En: She decided to take the best Instagram picture.

Ga: Ach, dar ndóigh, bhí eagla uirthi.
En: But, of course, she was scared.

Ga: Níor thaitin airde léi.
En: She didn't like heights.

Ga: Ach bhí Cillian ann.
En: But Cillian was there.

Ga: Bhí sé ag iarraidh í a chur ar a suaimhneas.
En: He was trying to put her at ease.

Ga: Ní raibh sé foirfe ach bhí sé spraíúil.
En: He wasn't perfect, but he was playful.

Ga: Bhí súil aige go mbeadh an lá speisialta.
En: He hoped the day would be special.

Ga: Bhí an bheirt acu ag dul i dtreo an imeall.
En: The two of them were heading toward the edge.

Ga: Bhí Maeve neirbhíseach.
En: Maeve was nervous.

Ga: "Cillian, bí cúramach," a dúirt sí.
En: "Cillian, be careful," she said.

Ga: Ach, i lár na cainte, tháinig tréad gabhar.
En: But, in the middle of the conversation, a flock of goats came by.

Ga: Bhí siad ag gáireacht agus ag preabadh timpeall.
En: They were bleating and hopping around.

Ga: "Gabha," a dúirt Cillian, ag gáire.
En: "Goats," said Cillian, laughing.

Ga: "Seo rud éigin nua!" Chuir sé a barra granola amach.
En: "Here's something new!" He held out his granola bar.

Ga: Bhí smaoineamh aige.
En: He had an idea.

Ga: Ach ní raibh smaoineamh air faoin bplean atá acu.
En: But he had no idea about the plan they were making.

Ga: Bhí an ghrian ag taitneamh go hard sa spéir.
En: The sun was shining high in the sky.

Ga: Bhí sé am don phictiúr má bhí siad in ann greim a fháil ar an nóiméad seo.
En: It was time for the picture if they could capture this moment.

Ga: Shocraigh Cillian an ceamara.
En: Cillian set up the camera.

Ga: Bhí sé réidh.
En: He was ready.

Ga: Bhí sé ag iarraidh an cuimhnestáil foirfe a chruthú.
En: He was trying to create the perfect memory.

Ga: Ach ansin, tháinig gabhar amháin isteach.
En: But then, one goat came in.

Ga: Rug sé ar scairf Maeve.
En: It grabbed Maeve's scarf.

Ga: Bhí ionadh ar Maeve!
En: Maeve was surprised!

Ga: Tharraing an gabhar í, agus bhí sí ag titim siar.
En: The goat tugged her, and she was falling backward.

Ga: Go díreach ansin, chuaigh an ceamara in airde.
En: Right then, the camera went off.

Ga: Nuair a fuair siad iad féin, bhí an phictiúr le feiceáil.
En: When they found themselves, the picture was visible.

Ga: Ní raibh sé foirfe.
En: It wasn't perfect.

Ga: Ach bhí sé fíor.
En: But it was real.

Ga: Bhí gabhar i lár an ghrianghraif, a aghaidh ag breathnú go greannmhar.
En: There was a goat in the middle of the photo, its face looking...
