En: Autumn was dressed in a golden cloak over the coastal village. Ga: Bhí an ghaoth ag sú na duilleoga agus éirí sí sráid na clocha go bog. En: The wind was drawing up the leaves and gently lifting them up the cobblestone street. Ga: Bhí an t-aer lán le boladh an mhuir, agus fuaim na mbád áimheala fá lár an chuan ag síleadh scéala thaibhsí. En: The air was filled with the smell of an mhuir, and the sound of the fishing boats in the middle of the harbor whispering tales of ghosts. Ga: Bhí Ciarán agus Aoife amuigh faoin aer gaoitheach, agus scéalta na seanbháid acu ar a n-intinn. En: Ciarán and Aoife were out in the breezy air, with the stories of the old boats on their minds. Ga: Bhí an chathair lán le ráflaí faoin mbád a bheadh spiorad caillte iontu, agus Ciarán, fear a bhí fiosrach, bhí sé tinn tuirseach den suaimhneas laethúil ag lorg eachtraíochta. En: The city was full of rumors about the boat that would have a lost spirit within it, and Ciarán, a man who was curious, was tired of the daily calm and looking for adventure. Ga: Bhí Aoife áfach, i gcónaí amhrasach. En: However, Aoife was always skeptical. Ga: Ní raibh fonn uirthi ar scéalta taibhsiúla, áfach, bhí rud éigin iontach fann ann gur mealladh thar an doras í. En: She wasn't inclined towards ghostly tales, but there was something faintly alluring that drew her beyond the door. Ga: "Mhothaíonn tú rud éigin, nach ea, Aoife? En: "You feel something, don't you, Aoife?" Ga: " a d'fhiafraigh Ciarán, a shúile ag glioscarnach le sceitimíní agus dúil. En: asked Ciarán, his eyes sparkling with excitement and interest. Ga: "Is scéalta iad seo, Ciarán," a d'fhreagair sí, ag déanamh iarracht a bheith dian cé go raibh fonn áirithe uirthi dul i mbun gnothaíochta na nithe mistéireach seo. En: "These are just stories, Ciarán," she replied, trying to be stern even though she had a certain desire to engage in the mystery of these things. Ga: Ar an oíche roimh Oíche Shamhna, chinn Ciarán an bád a fhiosrú, agus shealbh an dá sinneach trí bhóithre conairí an chuain i dtreo an bháid thiar. En: On the night before Oíche Shamhna, Ciarán decided to investigate the boat, and the two of them took the paths along the harbor towards the boat at the west end. Ga: Bhí an spéir dubh, le réaltaí sin a chuir le marsantas draíochta na hoíche. En: The sky was black, with stars that added to the magical shipping of the night. Ga: Nuair a shroich siad an bád, fuair siad seaicéad uafásach fuaimneach an adhmaid. En: When they reached the boat, they found the eerie creaking of the wood. Ga: Chuaigh siad isteach, le coinnle i lámha, agus bhí Aoife ag iarraidh neamhaird a thabhairt dá croí ag preabadh. En: They went inside, candles in hand, with Aoife trying to ignore her heart pounding. Ga: Láithreach aimsigh Ciarán litir ársa faoi bhord. En: Immediately, Ciarán found an ancient letter under a table. Ga: Bhí an pháipéar buí, agus an scríobh i ndonás. En: The paper was yellow, and the writing was tattered. Ga: Bhí Aoife ag croitheadh a ceann, ach bhí rud éigin i bhfianaise na litreach a tharraing a súile chuici. En: Aoife was shaking her head, but there was something in the light of the letter that drew her eyes to it. Ga: Bhí an litir ag treorú scéalta coinsimh mhóra teaghlaigh agus robálacha na mbatá soithí ó na blianta fada. En: The letter directed tales of great family conflicts and ship robbery from many years past. Ga: Ar nós draíochta, chomh luath agus a léigh siad an teachtaireacht, tchíodar go raibh an bád ag beochan le fuinneamh ciúin agus mistéireach. En: Like magic, as soon as they read the message, they saw that the boat was enlivened with a quiet and mysterious energy. Ga: Ghlac Aoife lámh Ciarán láithreach. En: Aoife took Ciarán's hand immediately. Ga: “Seo é," arsa Aoife go ciúin, agus foighneacht i guth. En: "This is it," said Aoife quietly, with patience in her voice. Ga: Bhí an dhá chara ag féachaint ar a chéile, ag ligean focal gann ach ní raibh gá leo. En: The two friends looked at each other, uttering few words, but there was no need for them. Ga: Tháinig socracht orthu, bhí sé soiléir gurbh through seo níor cheart neamchaoin a dhéanamh ar an dúchas nó ar an fíorghníomh. En: A calm came over them; it was clear that perhaps it was not right to disturb the heritage or the genuine deed. Ga: "B'fhéidir," a dúirt Ciarán go mall, "is é an rud is fearr ná ligean don rúndiamhair fanacht ina síochán. En: "Maybe," said Ciarán slowly, "the best thing is to let the mystery remain in peace." Ga: "Thug Aoife nod grinn leis an gcéad eile. En: Aoife gave a slight nod in agreement. Ga: Bhí ceacht foghlamtha acu. En: They had learned a lesson. Ga: Uaireanta, bíonn an draíocht sa tuiscint, gan éalú ar lucht na
