Lá fuar fliuch i nGaillimh a bhí ann, agus an ghaoth ag séideadh go láidir ón Atlantach.

It was a cold, wet day in Galway, and the wind was blowing strongly from the Atlantic.

Bhí Sean agus a dhá chara, Aoife agus Caoimhe, ag siúl síos Sráid na Siopaí ag lorg áit the mhúscailt.

Sean and his two friends, Aoife and Caoimhe, were walking down Shop Street looking for a place to take shelter.

Thit a súil ar thábhairne beag geal darbh ainm "Teach an Tóraí.

Their eyes fell upon a small bright pub called "Teach an Tóraí."

" Bhí an teallach lasta agus meon na féile san aer.

The place was bustling with the festive spirit in the air.

Láithreach bonn, nuair a bhí siad ag dul isteach, mothaíodar an atmaisféar ag athrú.

Immediately upon entering, they felt the atmosphere change.

Ba léir go raibh rud éigin as an ngnáth.

It was clear that there was something out of the ordinary.

Bhí pintí ag bualadh le chéile, tinte cnámh ag lasadh gan tineirí, agus gáire áit aisteach ón gcúinne.

Glasses clinked together, fires roared without firewood, and laughter echoed from the corner.

Bhí an tóraí beag sa tábhairne!

The leprechaun was in the pub!

Bhí an leipreachán cliste agus mear, ag cur as do chustaiméirí na tábhairne lena chleasaíocht.

The clever and mischievous leprechaun amused the pub's customers with his antics.

Gach uair a dhéanadh duine iarracht suí síos, bhogadh an cathaoir uathu!

Every time someone tried to sit down, the chair would move away from them!

Bhí piontaí beorach ag snámh san aer agus bualadh i gcoinne na mballaí.

Pints of beer floated in the air and hit against the walls.

D'fhéach Sean ag Aoife agus ag Caoimhre le súile móra.

Sean, Aoife, and Caoimhe looked around with wide eyes.

Bhí orthu rud éigin a dhéanamh.

They knew they had to do something.

Labhair Aoife le misneach, "Caithfimid an leipreachán a stopadh!

Aoife spoke with courage, "We must stop the leprechaun!"

"Rinne siad plean.

They made a plan.

Ghlac Caoimhe salann as a mála agus chuimil sé ar a lámha.

Caoimhe took salt from her bag and sprinkled it on her hands.

Bhí a fhios aici go raibh leipreacháin eagla ar an salann.

She knew that leprechauns were afraid of salt.

Mheall Sean agus Aoife an leipreachán le hamhrán dóchasach Gaelach agus rince sean-nós.

Sean and Aoife lured the leprechaun with a hopeful Gaelic song and a traditional Irish dance.

Bhí an leipreachán faoi gheasa ag an gceol agus thosaigh sé ag damhsa.

The leprechaun was enchanted by the music and started to dance.

Ach an deis a bhí ann, chaith Caoimhe an salann i dtreo an leipreacháin, agus go tobann, stad an draíocht.

But as luck would have it, Caoimhe threw the salt towards the leprechaun, and suddenly, the magic stopped.

Thit na piontaí ar ais go dtí na táblaí, shuigh na cathaoireacha ciúin, agus d'imigh an gáire aisteach.

The pints returned to the tables, the chairs sat still, and the odd laughter disappeared.

Ghabh an leipreachán beag brón orm, agus dúirt sé, "Maith dom, a chairde.

The little leprechaun apologized, saying, "Forgive me, friends.

Níor mhaith liom ach súgradh a dhéanamh.

I only meant to have some fun."

" Thug sé gealltanas nár chuirfeadh sé as do dhuine ar bith arís sa tábhairne.

He promised that he would never bother anyone in the pub again.

Mar chomhartha síochána, thug sé phéire ór dóibh agus d'fhág sé an tábhairne, ag breith leis an draíocht.

As a sign of peace, he gave them a pair of gold and left the pub, taking the magic with him.

Bhí an tsíocháin arís i "Teach an Tóraí.

The peace was back in "Teach an Tóraí."

"Ón lá sin i leith, níor chuala aon duine trácht ar leipreacháin sa tábhairne ach bhí a fhios acu go mairfeadh a scéal beo i gcroíthe gach duine a d'ól ann.

From that day on, no one ever spoke of leprechauns in the pub, but they knew that his story would live in the hearts of everyone who drank there.

Bhí oíche chiúin agus suaimhneach acu, agus rinne siad ceiliúradh le ceol, damhsa, agus cairdeas, agus an t-ómós do na leipreacháin a bhí, uair amháin, ina gcuid dá saol.

They had a peaceful and serene night, celebrating with music, dance, and friendship, honoring the leprechaun who was, for a moment, a part of their lives.
