Ga: Bhí an bóthar sách caolchúiseach, beagnach caillte faoi bhrat duille, ach d'oibrigh Aoife a bealach ar aghaidh go misniúil. En: The path was fairly narrow, almost lost under a blanket of leaves, but Aoife confidently made her way forward. Ga: Ar deireadh, shroich siad áit bheag i bhfolach. En: Eventually, they reached a small hidden spot. Ga: Bhí a súile lán le h-iontas agus iad ag féachaint ar an zúnna ildaite a bhí ag mealladh faoin bhfásra. En: Their eyes were full of wonder as they watched the colorful ferns that were charming beneath the foliage. Ga: "Nár thaispeáin mé daoibh? En: "Didn't I tell you?" Ga: " a dúirt Aoife go bródúil, a cúram gluaiseachta ag dul thar barr. En: said Aoife proudly, her handling of the situation was exceptional.
