Ga: Bhí sé beartaithe ag a club foraoiseoireachta a bheith an-éagsúil i mbliana le haghaidh Lá Altaithe. En: Her forestry club had planned to be very diverse this year for Thanksgiving. Ga: Cinnte is ón Stáit Aontaithe don saoire seo, ach thug Aisling agus a cairde féile chun ceiliúrtha le bia blasta.

Ga: Ainneoin a grá don taobh amuigh, bhí Aisling dáinséirithe lena sláinte go minic. En: Despite her love for the outdoors, Aisling often took risks with her health.

En: There was no way out for her. Ga: Ach ansin, bhuail mo sheans comhlánú ar scéal. En: But then, fate brought a turn to the story. Ga: Chuala sí glór saibhir ag glaoch uirthi.
