En: The sun was shining high in the sky that summer afternoon. Ga: Bhí boladh aoibhinn an t-aer farraige ag eirí ón aigéan, á mheascadh leis an aer úr glan ag na Cláirsí Móire. En: The delightful scent of the sea air was rising from the ocean, mixing with the fresh clean air at the Cláirsí Móire. Ga: Bhí Oisín, Clodagh, agus Róisín réidh chun eachtra nua a thosú. En: Oisín, Clodagh, and Róisín were ready to start a new adventure. Ga: Shiúil siad i dtreo an chladaigh, ag baint taitnimh as an tuath ghléineach. En: They walked towards the shore, enjoying the brilliant countryside. Ga: Bhí Oisín lán fuinnimh. En: Oisín was full of energy. Ga: Bhí a cheamara réidh aige, ag iarraidh pictiúir iontacha a ghlacadh den radharc tíre. En: He had his camera ready, trying to capture fantastic pictures of the landscape. Ga: Ach bhí Clodagh cúramach. En: But Clodagh was cautious. Ga: Bhí a fhios aici cé chomh contúirteach a d’fhéadfadh sé a bheith, agus bhí súil aici go mbeadh Oisín ciallmhar. En: She knew how dangerous it could be, and she hoped Oisín would be sensible. Ga: Róisín, mar is gnáth, bhí lán de sceitimín agus díograis, ag baint taitnimh as gach nóiméad. En: Róisín, as usual, was full of excitement and enthusiasm, enjoying every moment. Ga: "Féach air seo," arsa Oisín, agus é ag siúl róghar don imeall. En: "Look at this," said Oisín, walking too close to the edge. Ga: Bhí an ghaoth ag neartú, agus ba deacair é féin a sheasamh. En: The wind was strengthening, and it was hard for him to stand still. Ga: "Is áit iontach í seo le haghaidh grianghraf! En: "This is a great place for a photo!" Ga: "D’fhéach Clodagh air go dáiríre, ag iarraidh rud éigin a rá. En: Clodagh looked at him seriously, wanting to say something. Ga: Ach ansin chonaic sí Róisín ag gáire agus ag breathnú thar an fharraige mhór. En: But then she saw Róisín laughing and looking out over the vast sea. Ga: Bhí Clodagh ag mothú imní, ach níor theastaigh uaithi an spraoi a mhilleadh. En: Clodagh was feeling worried but didn’t want to spoil the fun. Ga: "Bí cúramach ansin, a Oisín," dúirt Clodagh go réidh agus í ag dul i dtreo an imeall go cúramach. En: "Be careful there, Oisín," Clodagh said gently as she carefully approached the edge. Ga: Go tobann, buaileadh gust láidir gaoithe leo. En: Suddenly, a strong gust of wind hit them. Ga: Thréig Bheith chail phoist an tOisín. En: Oisín lost his balance. Ga: Shleamhnaigh sé. En: He slipped. Ga: Bhí faitíos air. En: He was frightened. Ga: Ach ní raibh Clodagh mall. En: But Clodagh was not slow. Ga: Rug sí ar a ghéag go daingean agus tharraing sí ar ais é. En: She grabbed his arm firmly and pulled him back. Ga: Bhí croí Oisín ina bhéal. En: Oisín’s heart was in his mouth. Ga: Thuig sé cé chomh dáiríre a bhí an chontúirt. En: He realized how serious the danger was. Ga: Nuair a bhí siad sábháilte arís, shocraigh siad orthu féin suí síos ó imeall an aille. En: When they were safe again, they decided to sit down away from the edge of the cliff. Ga: Thóg siad sos, ag breathnú amach ar an aigéan lonrach, agus iad ag machnamh ar an méid a tharla. En: They took a break, looking out at the shimmering ocean, reflecting on what had happened. Ga: "Go raibh maith agat, a Chlodagh," arsa Oisín go fírinneach. En: "Thank you, Clodagh," said Oisín sincerely. Ga: "Níor thuig mé cé chomh gar dúinn a bhí an chontúirt. En: "I didn't realize how close we were to danger." Ga: "Bhí Clodagh ciúin ar feadh nóiméid. En: Clodagh was quiet for a moment. Ga: "Níl fadhb ar bith ann," a dúirt sí, ag mothú níos muiníní iontu féin. En: "No problem at all," she said, feeling more confident in herself. Ga: Bhí sí sásta lena cairde, agus bhí sé sin áilleacht an lae. En: She was happy with her friends, and that was the beauty of the day.
