En: The evening was becoming quieter, but strong winds were still rising at Cinn Sléibhe on the Leithinis Chorca Dhuibhne. Ga: Bhí an t-aer úr ag líonadh an scamhóga, agus bhí an fharraige ag bualadh cois cladaigh go fíochmhar. En: The fresh air was filling the lungs, and the sea was hitting the shoreline fiercely. Ga: Aoife agus Niall, deartháir agus deirfiúr, bhíodar ag siúl ar an gcosán donn aoibheann a lean i dtreo na haille. En: Aoife and Niall, brother and sister, were walking on the delightful brown path that led towards the cliff. Ga: Aoife, leis an grá mór aici don nádúr, bhíodh sí ag lorg an radharc deas le haghaidh grianghraf den ghrian ag dul faoi an bhfarraige fhiáin. En: Aoife, with her great love for nature, was looking for the nice view for a photo of the sun setting over the wild sea. Ga: Ach Niall, cé gur mhothaigh sé an fonn céanna, bhí sé níos cúramach. En: But Niall, although he felt the same urge, was more cautious. Ga: Bhí sé soiléir go raibh sé ann chun Aoife a chosaint, d’fhonn iad a thabhairt slán. En: It was clear he was there to protect Aoife, to get them back safely. Ga: "Abair liom nuair atá tú réidh chun stopadh," arsa Niall, agus aoibh na hoibre ar a aghaidh. En: "Let me know when you're ready to stop," said Niall, with a workmanlike smile on his face. Ga: "Beidh mé cúramaí," a d'fhreagair Aoife go fuinniúil. En: "I'll be careful," replied Aoife energetically. Ga: Leis sin, bhí a fhios aici go raibh an bealach suas chomh géar sin, ach ní raibh sí buartha. En: With that, she knew the way up was so steep, but she wasn't worried. Ga: Thóg sí céimeanna níos mó, dhreap sí níos faide, ag lorg suíomh foirfe. En: She took bigger steps, climbed further, searching for the perfect spot. Ga: Ach go tobann, sleamhnaigh Aoife ar charraig fhliuch. En: But suddenly, Aoife slipped on a wet rock. Ga: Léim sciorradh géar, agus thug sí túis. En: A sharp slip, and she gave a shout. Ga: "A Niall! En: "Oh Niall!" Ga: " ar sí go géar, pian ag brúchtadh ina cos. En: she exclaimed sharply, pain bursting in her leg. Ga: Bhí Niall aniar chomh tapaidh agus a bhí sé in ann. En: Niall was there as quickly as he could be. Ga: "Tá tú ceart go leor? En: "Are you alright?" Ga: " a d’fhiafraigh sé, imní i ngach focal. En: he asked, concern in every word. Ga: Chonaic sé go raibh cos Aoife gortaithe, agus thosaigh sé ag mothú meathlach. En: He saw that Aoife's leg was injured, and he began to feel anxious. Ga: Bhí sé ag iarraidh bheith socair mar go raibh Aoife a bhraitheann pian. En: He wanted to stay calm so that Aoife would feel less pain. Ga: "Fan anseo," d’fhreagair sé go bog, ag cuimhneamh ar a shaineolas leis na Gasóga. En: "Stay here," he responded gently, remembering his expertise with the Scouts. Ga: Bhain sé úsáid as a éadaí chun bácálaithe a chruthú don rúitín briste. En: He used his clothes to create a splint for her broken ankle. Ga: Ach gan aon chlúdach gutháin maith, bhí sé deacair cabhair a fháil. En: But without a good phone signal, it was hard to get help. Ga: Ach mar a bhain an ghlóir rua, thug an Domhan an cineáltas. En: But as the red glow waned, the world brought kindness. Ga: Tháinig siúlóir eile, le aghaidh a bhí socair agus measartha, thar bráid an bóthair. En: Another walker, with a calm and modest demeanor, came by on the road. Ga: Chonaic sé Niall ag cur suain ar Aoife. En: He saw Niall attending to Aoife. Ga: "An bhfuil tú ag teastáil cabhair? En: "Do you need help?" Ga: " a d'fhiafraigh an strainséir. En: asked the stranger. Ga: "Go deimhin, tá sí gortaithe go dona," a mhínigh Niall. En: "Indeed, she’s badly hurt," explained Niall. Ga: Bhí an strainséir, a bhfuil fón láidir aige, in ann comhair garchabhrach a ghlaoch. En: The stranger, who had a strong phone, was able to call for emergency assistance. Ga: Cé go raibh an spéir ag dorchú, bhí duine de na hotharlann ar an mbealach. En: Although the sky was darkening, a team from the hospital was on the way. Ga: Mar tháinig an fhoireann tarrthála, thug Niall suaimhneas do Aoife. En: As the rescue team arrived, Niall provided comfort to Aoife. Ga: Bhíodh an bheirt acu críochnaitheach, ach bhí an gortailt níos measa ná mar a shíl siad ar dtús – ní raibh ann ach atá an-trom a chur uirthi. En: They were both exhausted, but the injury was worse than they initially thought – it was quite severe. Ga: Ón gclinic, nuair a bhí sí compordach ar áit leapa, fuair Aoife léiriú níos doimhne ar a dheartháir craicinn. En: From the clinic, when she was comfortable on a bed, Aoife gained a deeper appreciation for her brother’s kindness. Ga: "Go raibh maith agat, Niall," ar sí go bog, bómánta go leor anois. En: "Thank
