- Lá breá gréine a bhí ann nuair a shocraigh Aoife, Sean agus Caoimhe dul ar thuras go Caisleán na Blarnan. - It was a beautiful sunny day when Aoife, Sean, and Caoimhe decided to go on a trip to Blarney Castle. 
- Bhí sceitimíní ar Aoife go háirithe, mar bhí sí ag iarraidh póg a thabhairt ar an gcloch mhór cáiliúil, Cloch na Blarnan, chun an t-ádh a fháil. - Aoife was particularly excited as she wanted to kiss the famous Blarney Stone to get some luck. 
- Nuair a shroicheadar an caisleán, bhí an áit dubh le daoine. - When they reached the castle, the place was crowded with people. 
- Bhí scéalta á n-insint ag seanfhear faoi draíocht an chloch. - An old man was telling stories about the magic of the stone. 
- Dúirt sé go raibh caint na cainteoirí móra ag duine ar bith a phóg an chloch. - He said that anyone who kissed the stone would have the gift of gab. 
- Chuaigh an triúr suas staighre cúnga na caisleán. - The three of them went up the narrow stairs of the castle. 
- Aoife ar dtús, í lán de spreagadh. - Aoife first, was full of excitement. 
- Ní fhaca sí aon rud ach an chloch os a comhair agus í ag druidim. - She saw nothing but the stone in front of her as she approached. 
- Bhí Sean in aice léi agus Caoimhe taobh thiar, ag féachaint suas orthu. - Sean was beside her, and Caoimhe was behind, looking up at them. 
- D'fhéach Aoife siar thar a guaillí ag Caoimhe agus dúirt, "An bhfuil tú réidh?" - Aoife looked back over her shoulder at Caoimhe and said, "Are you ready?" 
- D'fhéach sí ar an gcloch, ansin dhruid sí a súile agus chuir sí a béal chun caint. - She looked at the stone, then closed her eyes and puckered up. 
- Ach, níor phóg Aoife an chloch ar chor ar bith. In áit an chloch, bhí sean atá sa phictiúr – bhí Aoife tar éis póg a thabhairt do shúil Sean de thaisme! - But Aoife didn't kiss the stone at all; instead, in place of the stone was Sean in the picture – Aoife had accidentally kissed Sean's eye! 
- Bhí Aoife trína chéile agus thosaigh sí ag gáire go hiontach. - Aoife was beside herself and started laughing uproariously. 
- Bhí náire ar Sean ach bhí gáire air freisin. - Sean was embarrassed, but he couldn't help but laugh too. 
- Bhí iontas ar Caoimhe agus shín sí síos chun gáire. - Caoimhe was surprised and she too broke into laughter. 
- Ní raibh a fhios ag Aoife cad ba cheart di a dhéanamh, ach dúirt Sean léi, "Ná bí buartha, is beag an baol!" - Aoife didn't know what to do, but Sean told her, "Don't worry, it's no big deal!" 
- Thug Aoife faoi ndeara an dea-ádh a bhí aici - ní hamháin go raibh cara maith aici i Sean ach bhí an triúr acu ag gáire le chéile, faoi láthair sona a bheadh acu le cuimhneamh go deo. - Aoife noticed the good fortune she had - not only did she have a good friend in Sean, but the three of them were laughing together, having a present happy moment they'd remember forever. 
- Ag an deireadh, phóg Aoife an Blarney Stone i gceart agus bhraith sí an draíocht ag líonadh a croí. - In the end, Aoife kissed the Blarney Stone properly and felt the magic filling her heart. 
- Chuir an eachtra seo dlúthcheangal idir an triúr, lena gceangal a neartú fós trí scéal a chríochnaigh le póg mhearbhall ach lán de charadas. - This event created a strong bond between the three, strengthening their friendship through a story that ended with a kiss mix-up but full of laughter. 
- Agus mar sin, ba léir go ndearna an ‘póg mhícheart’ níos mó sonas ná aon póg amháin dá mbeadh sí ceart ó thús. - So, it became clear that the 'wrong kiss' brought more happiness than any one correct kiss would. 
- Agus is minic a mheabhraíodh an triúr acu an lá iontach sin ag Caisleán na Blarnan, áit ar bhuail draíocht, cairdeas, agus beagán mearbhaill le chéile chun scéal a chruthaigh gáire agus áthas a inseofaí arís agus arís eile. - And often the three of them would recall that wonderful day at Blarney Castle, where magic, friendship, and a bit of confusion mixed together to create a story of laughter and joy that would be told again and again.
