Ga: Aoife ag an Aillte MhothairAr lá breá amháin, bhí Aoife ag siúl go sásta ar imeall na nAillte Mhothair in iarthar na hÉireann.
En: Aoife at the Cliffs of Moher On one fine day, Aoife was happily walking along the edge of the Cliffs of Moher in the west of Ireland.

Ga: Bhí an ghrian ag taitneamh go hard sa spéir agus bhí an fharraige ag lonrú faoi bhun na haillte.
En: The sun was shining high in the sky, and the sea was sparkling below the cliffs.

Ga: D'éist Aoife le fuaim na dtonnta ag bualadh na gcarraigeacha.
En: Aoife listened to the sound of the waves hitting the rocks.

Ga: Go tobann, chonaic sí rud aisteach sa spéir.
En: Suddenly, she saw something strange in the sky.

Ga: Drónanna, ach ní drónanna gnáthacha a bhí iontu.
En: Drones, but they weren't ordinary drones.

Ga: Bhí siad ag gluaiseacht go socair agus bhí dathanna geala orthu.
En: They were moving smoothly and had bright colors.

Ga: Bhreathnaigh sí orthu go fiosrach.
En: She looked at them curiously.

Ga: Chuir an chéad drón atá os a cionn í fáilte roimpi.
En: The first drone above her greeted her.

Ga: "Dia dhuit, Aoife," a labhair sé le guth cairdiúil.
En: "Hello, Aoife," it spoke with a friendly voice.

Ga: Bhí ionadh ar Aoife.
En: Aoife was astonished.

Ga: "Cé hiad sibh?
En: "Who are you?"

Ga: " a d'fhiafraigh sí le suim mhór.
En: she asked with great interest.

Ga: "Is muid an Dronanna Comhartha," arsa an drón.
En: "We are the Signaling Drones," said the drone.

Ga: "Táimid anseo chun an imshaolta a chaomhnú agus a fheabhsú.

Ga: "Ar an bpointe sin, léim croí Aoife le háthas.
En: At that moment, Aoife's heart leaped with joy.

Ga: "Cad is féidir libh a dhéanamh?
En: "What can you do?"

Ga: " chuir sí ceist ar an drón.
En: she asked the drone.

Ga: Thug an drón í ar thuras trí na haillte.
En: The drone took her on a tour through the cliffs.

Ga: Chonaic Aoife mar a bhí na drónanna ag cur síolta ar phlandaí dúchasacha agus ag íonú an aeir le teicneolaíocht ard.
En: Aoife saw how the drones were planting seeds of native plants and purifying the air with advanced technology.

Ga: Ghlan siad an t-uisce agus dheisiú carraigeacha damáisteacha.
En: They cleaned the water and repaired damaged rocks.

Ga: Bhí siad in ann an dána tonncheol a rinnéacha hainmhithe áitiúla a aisíocaigh trí ghlórfoinn.
En: They were able to restore the local animals' daring soundscape.

Ga: Bhí Aoife faoi gheasa.
En: Aoife was enchanted.

Ga: Níor cheap sí go bhféadfadh teicneolaíocht a leithéid a dhéanamh.
En: She never thought technology could do such things.

Ga: D’inis sí faoina grá don timpeallacht don drón.
En: She told the drone about her love for the environment.

Ga: "Labhraímid do theanga," arsa an drón leis an aoibhneas.
En: "We speak your language," the drone said with delight.

Ga: "Is féidir leat cabhrú linn freisin.
En: "You can help us too."

Ga: "Le cabhair na drónanna, rinne Aoife obair iontach.
En: With the help of the drones, Aoife did wonderful work.

Ga: Thosaigh sí ag plandáil crainn agus bláthanna, ag scaipeadh an méid a d'fhoghlaim sí isteach san achmhainní pobail.
En: She started planting trees and flowers, spreading what she learned into community resources.

Ga: Bhí sí sásta faoi na hathruithe dearfacha.
En: She was delighted by the positive changes.

Ga: Lá amháin, tar éis blianta oibre, chonaic Aoife an tír ag athrú.
En: One day, after years of work, Aoife saw the land transforming.

Ga: Bhí na haillte ag feabhsú agus bhí an dúlra faoi bhláth.
En: The cliffs were improving, and nature was flourishing.

Ga: Bhraith sí bródach gur chuid den neart sin í.
En: She felt proud to be part of that strength.

Ga: Ag imeall na nAillte Mhothair, shuigh Aoife sa ghrian, sásta lena cuid oibre.
En: At the edge of the Cliffs of Moher, Aoife sat in the sun, satisfied with her work.

Ga: Bhí na drónanna beannaithe uirthi, agus d’fhág í le bronntanais na hinchinn tosaigh le húsáid ar a turas amach anseo.
En: The drones blessed her and left her with the gifts of the advanced technology for use on her future journeys.

Ga: Agus bhí fhios aici, chomh fada is a bhí na drónanna á bhainistiú, go mbeadh sí ar ais i gcónaí ar imeall na haillte, ag tabhairt aire don imshaol go mothúil.
En: And she knew, as long as the drones were managing, she would always be back at the edge of the cliffs, tenderly caring for the environment.

Ga: An deireadh.
En: The end.
