En: The morning light stretched across the buildings of the hospital in Contae Luimnigh. Ga: Bhí tintreach na Cásca sa spéir, agus boladh bláthanna úr ag dóireacht tríd na prochta. En: The Easter lightning filled the sky, and the scent of fresh flowers wafted through the air. Ga: Bhí Niamh ar bís i lár na himeachtaí. En: Niamh was excited in the midst of it all. Ga: Dar léi, bheadh an lá iontach! En: In her opinion, the day would be wonderful! Ga: Bhí plean ag Niamh. En: Niamh had a plan. Ga: Bhí sí ag iarraidh a cairde, Liam agus Aoife, a chur ar bís. En: She wanted to excite her friends, Liam and Aoife. Ga: Shíl sí go mbeadh an-spraoi ann má ghlac sí páirt sa tóraíocht uibheacha Cásca a bhí curtha le chéile do na páistí saospidéal. En: She thought it would be great fun if she participated in the Easter egg hunt organized for the children in the hospital. Ga: "Fan go bhfaca sibh é seo! En: "Wait until you see this!" Ga: " a dúirt Niamh agus aoibh uirthi. En: said Niamh with a smile. Ga: Bhí Aoife agus Liam ag amharc uirthi go heaglach. En: Aoife and Liam looked at her apprehensively. Ga: "An bhfuil tú cinnte, Niamh? En: "Are you sure, Niamh?" Ga: " arsa Liam. En: said Liam. Ga: "Cinnte," a dúirt Niamh. En: "Sure," said Niamh. Ga: Chuaigh sí isteach leis an nuachtán timpeall cosúil le hata, ag tabhairt airde ar bith do na leorchaoga a bhí curtha in eagar ar feadh na mbóithrín. En: She went in with the newspaper wrapped around like a hat, paying no attention to the wheelchairs arranged along the pathways. Ga: Chuir sí uibheacha i ngach áit agus thug sí treoracha do na páistí. En: She placed eggs everywhere and gave instructions to the children. Ga: Bhí páistí ag rith, ag gáirí, agus ag súgradh timpeall. En: Children were running, laughing, and playing around. Ga: Ach ní raibh an foireann an-sásta. En: But the staff was not very happy. Ga: Tháinig Anna, an altra, rith isteach. En: Anna, the nurse, came running in. Ga: Níor thuig sí cén fáth gur lean na páistí Niamh, ag smaoineamh gur cuid den chlár í. En: She didn't understand why the children were following Niamh, thinking she was part of the program. Ga: "Liam, Aoife, níor chóir go mbeadh sí ag déanamh seo," a dúirt Anna. En: "Liam, Aoife, she shouldn't be doing this," said Anna. Ga: "Tá sé ríthábhachtach go n-eagraítear na himeachtaí. En: "It's crucial that the events are organized." Ga: " Bhí Niamh idir dhá cheann na meá. En: Niamh was on the fence. Ga: "Tá brón orm," a dúirt sí go ciúin. En: "I'm sorry," she said quietly. Ga: Ach ní raibh sí ag iarraidh éirí as fós. En: But she didn't want to give up yet. Ga: "Níl aon dochar déanta agam éinne. En: "I haven't harmed anyone." Ga: "Agus sin an uair a tharla sé – thosaigh páistí ag gáire níos airde. En: And that's when it happened – the children started laughing even louder. Ga: "Feicim uibheacha! En: "I see eggs!" Ga: " a bhéic siad agus rith siad le Niamh, cosúil le fata mór. En: they shouted and ran to Niamh like a big wave. Ga: Bíseach isteach, léiríodh go mílteallach gur fheabhsú ar an bplean a bhí ann. En: In the end, it humorously turned out to be an improvement on the plan. Ga: Dúradh leis an ospidéal gur gheall na páistí iad féin a bheith chomh sásta sin. En: The hospital was told that the children promised to be so happy about it. Ga: "Niamh, is dócha go n-inseoidh muid an scéal seo ar feadh blianta," a d’áitigh Aoife, ag gáire. En: "Niamh, I bet we'll be telling this story for years," insisted Aoife, laughing. Ga: Ag deireadh an lae, bhí idirghabháil réidh idir Niamh agus an fhoireann. En: At the end of the day, there was a meeting between Niamh and the staff. Ga: Mhínigh sí gach rud le gáire, agus b’fhéidir go raibh rún i roinnt bebíoga shásuil. En: She explained everything with laughter, and maybe there was a secret in some sweet smiles. Ga: Ghlac an fhoireann leis, le mbeidh siad thar a bheith sásta leis an sásamh a thug sé do na páistí. En: The staff accepted it, being exceedingly pleased with the joy it brought the children. Ga: Agus mar sin, d’fhoghlaim Niamh rud luachmhar an lá sin. En: And so, Niamh learned something valuable that day. Ga: Bhí sé níos fearr smaoineamh ar na hiarmhairtí roimh dhul rófhada le plotaí aoibhiúla. En: It was better to think of the consequences before going too far with whimsical plots. Ga: Fiú amháin, ag siúl amach is ag amharc síos sa halla, smaoinigh sí go mbeidh sí ag pleanáil níos eolaí – b’fhéidir spraoi, ach cinnte gan damáiste. En: Even as she walked out and looked down the hall, she thought she would plan more wisely next time – maybe having fun, but definitely without causing any damage. Ga: Faoi dheireadh, bhí an spraoi níos nádúrtha agus ádhúil, díreach cosúil leis
