Lá breá gréine a bhí ann i gCill Airne.

It was a beautiful sunny day in Killarney.

Bhí Sean, Aoife agus Pádraig ag siúl bóithríní Pháirc Náisiúnta Chill Airne.

Sean, Aoife, and Pádraig were walking the paths of Killarney National Park.

"Tá an lá álainn inniu," arsa Aoife ag breathnú thart ar na crainn móra agus lochanna gorma.

"It's a lovely day today," said Aoife, looking around at the tall trees and blue lakes.

Ach go tobann, thug Sean faoi deara go raibh sé scartha ó Aoife agus Pádraig.

Suddenly, Sean noticed that he was separated from Aoife and Pádraig.

Thosaigh sé ag siúl ar aghaidh, ag glaoch amach a n-ainmneacha, ach ní bhfuair sé freagra ar bith.

He started walking ahead, calling out their names, but received no response.

Bhí sé caillte i measc na n-ailleagán agus na gcosán cúnga.

He was lost among the bushes and narrow paths.

Ag siúl thart gan treo, mhothaigh Sean rud éigin draíochtúil san aer.

As he walked aimlessly, Sean felt something magical in the air.

Tharla sé go raibh sé tar éis teacht ar áit rúnda - poll beag i gcrann mór d'aois.

He stumbled upon a mysterious place - a small hole in a large tree.

D'fhéach sé isteach agus, gan choinne, chonaic sé leipreachán beag ag obair go dian.

He peeked inside and, to his surprise, he saw a little leprechaun working diligently.

"Ná habair focal le haon duine faoi seo," arsa an leipreachán, ag croitheadh a mhéire le rabhadh.

"Don't say a word to anyone about this," said the leprechaun, shaking his finger as a warning.

Chrom Sean ar a ghlúine chun bheith ar aon airde leis an leipreachán.

Sean knelt down to be at eye level with the leprechaun.

"Cén fáth?

"Why?"

" arsa Sean.

asked Sean.

"Ó, má insíonn tú do dhuine ar bith, caillfidh mé mo draíocht," d'fhreagair an leipreachán.

"Oh, if you tell anyone, I will lose my magic," replied the leprechaun.

Thug Sean gealltanas dáiríre nach n-inseodh sé aon rud.

Sean promised earnestly that he wouldn't tell anyone.

Mar mhalairt air sin, thug an leipreachán treoracha dó conas éalú as an ngabháil seo.

In return, the leprechaun gave him instructions on how to escape this encounter.

Tar éis an turas eachtraíoch, bhuail Sean ar ais le hAoife agus le Pádraig ag an mbialann ceapairí is fearr leo, ag scéalta go raibh sé tar éis éalú ó rúndiamhair an pháirc.

After the adventurous journey, Sean met back up with Aoife and Pádraig at their favorite sandwich café, sharing stories about his escape from the park's mysteries.

D'fhán a eachtra leis an leipreachán ina rún aige féin, agus bhí a chairde sásta go raibh sé slán sábháilte.

He kept his encounter with the leprechaun to himself, and his friends were happy that he was safe.

D'fhág gach duine ag gáire, agus an ghrian ag dul faoi thar lochanna glasa Chill Airne.

Everyone laughed, and the sun set over the green lakes of Killarney.
