Ga: Bí cinnte go bhfuil na haillte fós ina áit mhór cúig céad troigh, ag bogadh isteach i snaim na farraige. En: Make sure that the cliffs, still a great place five hundred feet high, are moving into the clasp of the sea. Ga: Buachaill óg, Conor, a thaitníonn le fámaireacht, tugadh faoi deara deireanach é ansin. En: A young boy, Conor, who likes wandering, was last noticed there.

En: He loved adventure, but there was something disastrous that day. Ga: Bhí a fhios aici go gcaithfeadh sí léi féin an fhírinne a fháil amach. En: She knew she had to find out the truth for herself. Ga: Bhí sí á sáinniú ag sruth an cheo. En: She was entangled in the flow of the mist. Ga: Ní raibh sé éasca ann. En: It wasn't easy there. Ga: Ag dul suas agus síos tríd na clocha, d’ullmhaigh sí i dtreo álainn áit bhfolach ina bhféadfadh Conor a bheith.

En: It's hard to know. Ga: Go tobann, cloisfidh sí rud an-aisteach. En: Suddenly, she heard something very strange. Ga: Bhí cosán fánach ann, níos faide anonn, taobh amuigh den cheo geal. En: There was a wandering path, further along, outside the bright mist. Ga: Thaispeáin na fainní gearra í go dtí imeall an aillte. En: The short rings led her to the edge of the cliff. Ga: Bhí an bealach síos deacair agus díreach. En: The way down was difficult and steep. Ga: Ach Aisling bhí spreagtha. En: But Aisling was inspired. Ga: Chinn sí a leanúint air. En: She decided to follow it. Ga: Chuaigh sí síos leis an cosán contúirteach, go cúramach. En: She went down the dangerous path, carefully. Ga: Bhí a croí ag bualadh go tapa.
