Story Transcript:
Ga: Bhíodh na carraigeacha ardacha ag Aillte an Mhothair ag stracadh os cionn na farraige fuaire, nuair a shroich Éilis, Rónán, agus Aoife an áit.
En: The high cliffs at Aillte an Mhothair towered over the cold sea as Éilis, Rónán, and Aoife arrived at the place.
Ga: Bhí an ghaoth nimhneach ag séideadh, ag tarraingt ar an mira ach bhí rún seasta ag Éilis.
En: The biting wind was blowing, pulling at their clothes, but Éilis was determined.
Ga: “Caithfimid an grianghraf foirfe a fháil,” arsa Éilis go diongbháilte.
En: “We must get the perfect photo,” said Éilis resolutely.
Ga: Bhí Rónán ar imeall, ag iarraidh aird a thabhairt orthu faoi shábháilteacht agus Ísealach.
En: Rónán was on the edge, trying to remind them about safety and caution.
Ga: "Tá an ghaoth ró-láidir, Éilis.
En: "The wind is too strong, Éilis.
Ga: Bheimis níos sábháilte faoi scáthán," arsa sé.
En: We'd be safer under shelter," he said.
Ga: Ach d'fhan Aoife socair, ag iarraidh an dá thaobh a choimeád i síocháin.
En: But Aoife remained calm, trying to keep peace between both sides.
Ga: Stán siad amach ar an radharc aoibhinn amach rompu.
En: They gazed out at the beautiful view before them.
Ga: Bhí an fharraige ag briseadh go fíochmhar i gcoinne na gclocha, agus bhí an áilleacht chomh mór sin go ndearna Éilis dearmad ar an aimsir.
En: The sea was crashing fiercely against the rocks, and the beauty was so overwhelming that Éilis forgot about the weather.
Ga: "Bainfidh muid úsáid as an tine," d’fhógair sí, ag súil go gcuirfeadh sé seasmhacht lena grianghrafadóireacht.
En: "We'll use the tripod," she announced, hoping it would add stability to her photography.
Ga: Chuir siad an teannadh ar an trealamh agus ag troid in aghaidh na gaoithe, rinne siad a ndícheall chun staighre fada a gcártaí Nollag a chruthú.
En: They prepared the equipment and, battling against the wind, did their best to create the perfect image for their Christmas cards.
Ga: Ag deireadh an mheirtín mhearaigh, bhí an ghaoth láidir ag séideadh a gcuid hataí.
En: By the end of the chaotic attempt, the strong wind was blowing their hats away.
Ga: Baineadh caighdeán go léir agus chuir siad ceangal ag iarraidh iad a ghabháil, gach mac á dhícheall a dhéanamh.
En: All standards were forgotten as they tried to catch them, each one doing their best.
Ga: Bhí gáire ag Aoife agus Rónán, agus faoi dheireadh, tháinig an t-am iontach sin nuair a thuig Éilis nach raibh an gníomh foirfe ag teastáil i ndáiríre.
En: Aoife and Rónán were laughing, and finally, the wonderful moment came when Éilis realized that the perfect action wasn't really necessary.
Ga: Bhí caraigeacha ina n-aghaidh, ag roinnt gáiris neamhbhalbh agus comhaontú teaghlaigh.
En: The cliffs stood against them, sharing unrestrained laughter and family agreement.
Ga: Ghlac siad le grianghraf amháin, lán d'iontas agus de spraoi, a thaispeánann an fíor-spiorad cairdeas agus grá.
En: They captured one photo, full of wonder and fun, showing the true spirit of friendship and love.
Ga: Bhí an Nollaig seo faoi sonas, ní foirfeacht.
En: This Christmas was about happiness, not perfection.
Ga: Bhí croí Éilis lán de mhuintearas agus lig sí di féin scíth a ligean, ag glacadh leis an spraoi gan choinne a bhí ag fanacht leo ar na haoileacha feiceálacha.
En: Éilis's heart was full of companionship, and she allowed herself to relax, embracing the unexpected fun that awaited them on the remarkable cliffs.
