En: At the break of day, the west wind was blowing strongly, casting a light mist across the cliffs. Ga: Bhí Cillian, mar is gnáth, ag tabhairt aghaidh ar Chlíof Mhoir. En: Cillian, as usual, was facing Clíof Mhoir. Ga: Thaitin an radharc léi ó mhaidin go hoíche. En: She enjoyed the view from morning till night. Ga: Bhí Rory agus Maeve in éineacht leis. En: Rory and Maeve were with him. Ga: Bhí Rory gearrtha amach don spraoi, agus í ag iarraidh rún na haille a nochtadh. En: Rory was ready for fun, eager to uncover the cliff's secret. Ga: Bhí Maeve mar rian chiallmhar ar an scéal, i gcónaí ag iarraidh Cillian a thabhairt ar ais go dtí an talamh. En: Maeve was the rational one in the story, always trying to bring Cillian back down to earth. Ga: "Feic seo," a dúirt Cillian, ag taispeáint dochar ar an gcarraig. En: "Look at this," said Cillian, showing some damage on the rock. Ga: Bhí téacs aislingeach engraváil ann, a raibh cuma seanfhaiseanta air. En: There was an engraving with an ancient look about it. Ga: "Is féidir gur scéal laoch ón sean-am é." En: "This could be a hero's story from ancient times." Ga: D'fhéach Maeve air agus bhain sí gáire beag as. En: Maeve looked at it and let out a small laugh. Ga: "Cillian, tá a fhios agat cé chomh neamhchóiméadta is féidir an talamh a bheith anseo," a dúirt sí. En: "Cillian, you know how unstable the ground can be here," she said. Ga: "B'fhéidir nach rud ársa atá ann ar chor ar bith." En: "Maybe it's not ancient at all." Ga: Rinne Rory ionsaí, agus d'iarr sé go spreagadh Cillian a thuilleadh. En: Rory jumped in, encouraging Cillian further. Ga: "Cad é an grá, an fhírinne atá aige? Cinnte, tá níos mó rún nochta i bhfolach sa spraoi!" En: "What is the love, the truth behind it? Surely there's more secret hidden in the fun!" Ga: Thiontaíomar ar aghaidh níos faide ar an gcosán agus d'fhág Maeve i gcúl an chinn, agus amharc amuigh chun an spéirlíne. En: We moved further along the path, leaving Maeve behind, gazing out toward the horizon. Ga: Chomhairigh Cillian suíomh i bhfad síos an taobh den chloich. En: Cillian pointed out a spot farther down the side of the rock. Ga: Chonaic sé rud éigin a bhí níos mó os a choinne sin engraváil. En: He saw something larger opposite that engraving. Ga: Bhí na focla níos soiléire, ach ansin, chuala siad stad de thonnnach. En: The words were clearer, but then, they heard a lull in the wave. Ga: Cuireadh tús leis an aimsir aniar, réabadh gálaí an chladaí, agus bhíodar faoi lán toirime. En: The weather came from behind, the coastal gales tore through, and they were in full roar. Ga: Bhí Cillian ar an eascairt. En: Cillian was starting to slip. Ga: "Cillian!" dúirt Maeve leis an imní. En: "Cillian!" said Maeve with concern. Ga: "Ní féidir liom tú a tharraingt suas má tá an áit sin briste!" En: "I can't pull you up if that place is broken!" Ga: Admhaigh Cillian, agus creid sé go bréagach gur imeacht pearsanta a bhí ann d'fhocla na carraige. En: Cillian conceded, and mistakenly believed the rock's words were a personal event. Ga: Tar éis chluiche casta le foighne, cabhraigh Maeve agus Rory leis é a fháil ar ais go sábháilte. En: After a complicated tussle with patience, Maeve and Rory helped get him back safely. Ga: Bhí siad uilig sáite fliuch agus uafásach, ach bhí Cillian slán. En: They were all soaking wet and horrified, but Cillian was safe. Ga: "Ní miste i gcónaí an rób lán dúile a thógáil," a dúirt Maeve ag féinmheas air. En: "It doesn't always hurt to tame the wild wind," said Maeve with self-reflection. Ga: Ghlac Cillian cleachtadh nua ar a intinn. En: Cillian embraced a new mindset. Ga: Fiú más rud pearsanta é a bhí sa engraváil sin, tháinig sé le tuiscint gur fiú saol na ndaoine thart timpeall air go dtí go mbaineann sé le taiscumar a shiorrú. En: Even if that engraving was personal, he came to understand that the lives of those around him are valuable until it's time to exhaust a reservoir. Ga: Sin é an rún sa saol; é an spraoi a chur i gcrích le cúram agus tacaíocht ó chairde, is cuma cé chomh ard is a thaghann an ghaoth. En: That is the secret of life; to enjoy the adventure with care and support from friends, no matter how strong the wind blows.
