"Ach, Ronan, cad mar gheall ar na múinteoirí? Nach n-ídeofar muid má fhaigheann siad amach?"En: Niamh raised her eyes. "But, Ronan, what about the teachers? Won't we be in trouble if they find out?"Ga: Úsáideadh Ronan a shúile glé mar fhosháin. "Ó, tá an saol le haimsire. Ná bíodh ort trácht orthu, is cath amháin a bheidh i gceist."En: Ronan used his bright eyes as reassurance. "Oh, life is about timing. Don't worry about them, it’s just one battle we’re dealing with."Ga: Gáire ó Aoife cocked a ceamara i dtreo na gréine "Glacfaidh mé an pictiúr foirfe in áit ar bith, feicfidh mé sibh níos déanaí."En: A laugh from Aoife as she aimed her camera towards the sun. "I'll take the perfect picture anywhere, see you later."Ga: Spreag Niamh a dánacht féin, chuaigh sí leis.En: Inspired by her own boldness, Niamh joined him.Ga: Thosaigh siad ag siúl síos conair nach raibh marcáilte go soiléir ar an léarscáil.En: They started walking down a path that wasn’t clearly marked on the map.Ga: Bhí croí Niamh ag rachaidh neart níos tapúla, ach mothaigh sí spreagadh ag an misneach nuacht.En: Niamh's heart was beating faster, but she felt encouraged by the newfound courage.Ga: Tar éis a bheith ag siúl feadh na gcarraigeacha, tháinig siad ar an gciseán bog-ollscoile.En: After walking along the rocks, they came upon a hidden basket.Ga: Nuair a chuir Ronan lámh leis, d'fhág colúir a n-eitilt go drogallach.En: When Ronan put his hand out, doves took flight reluctantly.Ga: I bpluaiseán beag a bhí le feiceáil, chonaic siad ealaín casta snoite i gcarraig.En: In a small, visible alcove, they saw intricate art carved into the rock.Ga: Clúdaíodh i bhfíochán na haimsire é, ag feitheamh úrscéalta iontais chun aird a tharraingt.En: It was covered in the tapestry of time, waiting for tales of wonder to capture its attention.Ga: Chrom Niamh síos, ag brath ar an bhfionnachtain. "Tá sé dochreidte! Cad a dhéanfaimid?"En: Niamh crouched down, relying on the discovery. "It's incredible! What will we do?"Ga: "Caithfimid seo a choinneáil dár féin ar feadh tamaill," arsa Ronan ag súil le meangadh díograise. "Níl rud ar bith níos fearr ná seiceadar."En: "We have to keep this to ourselves for a while," said Ronan with a grin of enthusiasm. "Nothing's better than a secret."Ga: Agus lena n-eireabaill suas, d'imeas siad ar ais.En: And with their spirits lifted, they walked back.Ga: Bean bheag bhreá a bhí ag Niamh anois, lánmhuiníne, lena súile ag taitneamh agus spiorad comhchosúil ina croí.En: Niamh was now a charming young woman, full of confidence, her eyes shining and a kindred spirit in her heart.Ga: Bhain sí taitneamh den laethanta i gCapri, inniuam níos láidre agus níos cróga.En: She enjoyed the days in Capri, feeling stronger and braver.Ga: Thuig sí gur mó atá le fáil nuair a dhíríonn sí ar a bhfuil os a comhair.En: She realized that there was much to gain when she focused on what lay ahead.Ga: Mar a geall Niamh faoina céithre duais an t-am ar saoire sin, bhí sí ag breathnú ar aghaidh go rialta, ag iarraidh an táille sin a chruthaigh Ronan, i ndáiríre.En: As Niamh reminisced on her time during that holiday, she was constantly looking forward, wanting to prove Ronan's promise true.
