  • Bhí dath órga an fhómhair ag dul ar na hAillte Mhóire.

    The Cliffs of Moher were turning the golden color of autumn.

  • Thíos fúthu, bhí an fharraige ag lonrú faoin ngrian trathnóna.

    Below them, the sea shimmered under the evening sun.

  • Bhí Siobhán agus Eoin i measc na dturasóirí a bhí ag féachaint ar an radharc iontach.

    Siobhán and Eoin were among the tourists admiring the stunning view.

  • Bhí Siobhán lán le fuinneamh.

    Siobhán was full of energy.

  • "Eoin, níl mé in ann fanacht chun é seo a fheiceáil. Cláiste dreaptha? Smaoinigh air, beidh sé iontach!" ar sí, ach taobh istigh bhí eagla uirthi.

    "Eoin, I can't wait to see this. A climbing course? Imagine it, it will be amazing!" she said, but inside she was fearful.

  • Bhí sí i bhfolach a eagla roimh airde i gcónaí.

    She always hid her fear of heights.

  • Eoin, ar an láimh eile, bhí níos cúramí de ghnáth.

    Eoin, on the other hand, usually tended to be more cautious.

  • Ach inniu, bhí sé ag iarraidh siamsaíocht a thabhairt do Shiobhán.

    But today, he wanted to entertain Siobhán.

  • "Cinnte, beidh sé ceart go leor. Tógfaimid é go héasca," ar sé.

    "Sure, it will be fine. We'll take it easy," he said.

  • Bhí a fhios aige go raibh sé neirbhíseach freisin.

    He knew he was nervous too.

  • Chuaigh siad chuig an áitreabh le haghaidh an cheachta.

    They went to the site for the lesson.

  • Ach thosaigh amhras ag ardú.

    But doubts began to rise.

  • Bhí ar Eoin a intinn a bheith soiléir.

    Eoin had to be clear-minded.

  • "Ná bí buartha, ní amháin sinne a bheidh ag léim. Beidh sé sábháilte," a dúirt Eoin go misniúil.

    "Don't worry, we won't be the only ones jumping. It will be safe," Eoin said confidently.

  • Nuair a tháinig an tAm mór, bhí siad ag an imeall.

    When the big moment came, they were at the edge.

  • Féachaint síos, bhí na tonnta ag bualadh i gcoinne na géaga faoi.

    Looking down, the waves were crashing against the rocks below.

  • Tháinig an t-anam ina mbéal.

    Their hearts were in their mouths.

  • "Táim in ann é seo a dhéanamh," shocraigh Siobhán ina hintinn.

    "I can do this," Siobhán decided in her mind.

  • "Ní féidir linn siar anois."

    "We can't turn back now."

  • Chomhfhreagair Eoin, "Táim anseo leat. Nílimid ina n-aonar."

    Eoin responded, "I'm here with you. We're not alone."

  • Agus ansin, tháinig an t-oiliúnóir.

    And then, the instructor appeared.

  • "Caithfidh mé rud éigin a rá libhse anseo," a dúirt sé.

    "I have something to tell you here," he said.

  • "Is taithí fíorúil é seo i ndáiríre. Tarraíonadh é le réaltacht chomheanramh."

    "This is actually a virtual experience. It's rendered with augmented reality."

  • Laghdaíodh a n-éasamh go tapa i bhfaoiseamh.

    Their unease quickly turned to relief.

  • Bhí Siobhán an-sásta.

    Siobhán was very pleased.

  • "Ní bheidh orainn léim a dhéanamh ar chorus am ar bith!" ar sí agus í ag gáire.

    "We won't have to jump for real anytime soon!" she said, laughing.

  • "Is maith liom é sin," arsa Eoin.

    "I like that," Eoin said.

  • Tarraingíodh an eagla ar fud a n-aghaidh. Bhí ionadh orthu faoin gcaoi a n-oibríonn teicneolaíocht iontais.

    Their faces, once marked by fear, were now filled with surprise at how amazing technology could be.

  • D'éirigh Siobhán iontach. "Is gá dom a admháil go raibh eagla orm," ar sí os ard.

    Siobhán admitted, "I have to confess I was scared," she said aloud.

  • "Ach tá mé sásta anois."

    "But now I'm happy."

  • Tá Eoin dílis. "Is breá an rud é sin a mhaíomh.

    Eoin was sincere. "That's good to admit.

  • An dtéann muid ar thuras bád níos suaimhní?" chuir sé ar aghaidh.

    Shall we go on a more relaxing boat tour?" he suggested.

  • D'fhág siad an taithí sin mar thosaitheoirí nua.

    They left the experience as new beginners.

  • Bhí siad ábalta gáire a dhéanamh faoi agus foghlaim uaidh.

    They were able to laugh about it and learn from it.

  • Bhí a dteannas imithe agus an geimhreadh cheana féin lena grá.

    Their tension was gone, and winter was already there with its grace.

  • Agus sin mar a tháinig deireadh lena eachtra a d'fhéadfadh a bheith contúirteach mar eachtra síochánta.

    And so, their adventure, which could have been dangerous, ended as a peaceful experience.

  • Bhí a ráiteas beagán níos mó na síochán a dhéanamh.

    Their statement was more about finding peace.

  • D'fhéadfaidís taitneamh a bhaint as áilleacht na n-aillte ar feadh níos faide.

    They could enjoy the cliffs' beauty even longer.

  • Smig iad ag breathnú amach ar an bhfarraige san fhómhair thaitneamhach.

    They stood looking out at the sea in the pleasant autumn.
