Story Transcript:

Ga: Lá álainn é i Trinity College, Baile Átha Cliath.
En: It is a beautiful day at Trinity College, Baile Átha Cliath.

Ga: Tá teas an tsamhraidh ag líonadh an árasáin áit a bhfuil Aisling agus Ronan ina gcónaí.
En: The summer heat is filling the apartment where Aisling and Ronan live.

Ga: Tá a seomra lán le leabhair ar fud na háite, agus gach aon áit saor clúdaithe le páipéir staidéir.
En: Their room is full of books everywhere, and every free space is covered with study papers.

Ga: Ar an mballa, tá póstaeir de fhilí agus scríbhneoirí Éireannacha ag súgradh leis an solas gréine.
En: On the wall, posters of Irish poets and writers are playing with the sunlight.

Ga: Bhí scéal eachtraíochta nua le tosú nuair a d'aimsigh Aisling rud aisteach ina seomra.
En: A new adventure story was about to begin when Aisling discovered something strange in her room.

Ga: Bhí earra mistéireach suite gan mhíniú ar an mbord, i lár a gnóthaí staidéir.
En: A mysterious item lay unexplained on the table, amidst her study materials.

Ga: Bhí sé d'ainm ar an earra sin "an Seodra Seithí.
En: The item was named "The Hidden Jewel."

Ga: " Bhí cuma bratach air, scriosta le haois, ach bhí rud éigin speisialta faoi.
En: It looked banner-like, ruined with age, but there was something special about it.

Ga: Tháinig Niamh, cara dílis Aisling, isteach, agus d'fhág Ronan céile déanach a bhí séimhiúil agus príomhaí ann.
En: Niamh, Aisling's loyal friend, came in, and Ronan, the late arrival, who was reserved and prim, left.

Ga: Níor thaitin rudaí mistéireacha leis, ach bhí sé ann mar thacaíocht do Aisling mar sin féin.
En: He didn't like mysterious things, but he was there to support Aisling nonetheless.

Ga: "Cad é sin?
En: "What is that?"

Ga: " a d'fhiafraigh Niamh, ag stánadh ar an seodra.
En: asked Niamh, staring at the jewel.

Ga: "Nílim cinnte," arsa Aisling le suim.
En: "I'm not sure," said Aisling with interest.

Ga: "Ach braithim go bhfuil scéal le rá ag an earra seo.
En: "But I feel that this item has a story to tell.

Ga: Caithfimíd é a fhiosrú.
En: We must investigate it."

Ga: "Bhí fonn iontach ar Aisling agus Niamh tús a chur leis an méid seo a fhiosrú.
En: Aisling and Niamh were very eager to start investigating this.

Ga: Ach bhí Ronan fionnuar agus mheas sé gur cur amú ama a bheadh ann.
En: But Ronan was cool and considered it to be a waste of time.

Ga: D'fhéach sé ar an gcomhthéacs, i gcónaí ag lorg míniúcháin loighiciúil.
En: He looked at the context, always searching for a logical explanation.

Ga: Dé bhunair seo an seodra, thosaigh rudaí aisteacha ag tarlú sa seomra.
En: Once they uncovered the background of the jewel, strange things began happening in the room.

Ga: Chuala siad gach fuaim ann, mar guthanna agus torannanna.
En: They heard every sound there, like voices and noises.

Ga: Bhí míolta sneachta ag titim sa seomra lár an tsamhraidh!
En: Snowflakes were falling in the room in the middle of summer!

Ga: Thug sin cuid mhór iontais ar an gcampas, agus bhí péinteálann ar dhaoine ag déanamh asail díobh.
En: That brought many surprises on campus, and people were making fools of themselves.

Ga: D'éirigh Aisling agus Niamh diongbháilte, agus rinne siad a ró-leigheas ar na rudaí seo.
En: Aisling and Niamh became determined, and...
