I gceartlár na samhraidh i mBaile Átha Cliath, bhí scoil na n-óg ciúin agus folamh.

In the middle of summer in Dublin, the school of the young was quiet and empty.

Bhí scáthanna fada ag damhsa ar na ballaí cloiche agus ní raibh éinne le feiceáil.

Long shadows danced on the stone walls and no one was to be seen.

Bhí Conall ag seasamh os comhair a thaisceadán, a chroí ag preabadh le háthas agus le haigne eachtrúil.

Conall was standing in front of his locker, his heart pounding with excitement and curiosity.

D'oscail sé a thaisceadán agus chonaic sé rud éigin neamhghnách - nóta mistéireach.

He opened his locker and saw something unusual—a mysterious note.

Bhí sé scríofa le peann luaidhe ar pháipéar caite.

It was written in pencil on crumpled paper.

"Léigh é seo," a dúirt sé lena chara is fearr, Eibhlín.

"Read this," he said to his best friend, Eibhlín.

Bhí Eibhlín cliste agus cúramach, i gcónaí ag smaoineamh ar dhrochthorthaí ionchasacha.

Eibhlín was smart and cautious, always considering potential bad outcomes.

"D'fhéadfadh sé a bheith contúirteach," a d'fhreagair Eibhlín, ach léigh sí an nóta ann féin.

"It could be dangerous," Eibhlín answered, but she read the note herself.

Bhí sé simplí ach aisteach: "Cuir tús leis an eachtra ag an seanleabharlann trí chlog."

It was simple yet strange: “Begin the adventure at the old library at three o'clock.”

Shocraigh Conall gurbh éigean dó an rún seo a réiteach.

Conall decided he had to solve this mystery.

Bhí fiosracht aige nach bhféadfadh sé fágáil gan freagra.

His curiosity couldn't leave it unanswered.

Ach, bhí Eibhlín imníoch faoina bpleananna.

However, Eibhlín was anxious about their plans.

"Cad má tá sé seo gafa?" a d'fhiafraigh sí.

"What if this is a trap?" she asked.

"Níl ach bealach amháin chun é fháil amach," a dúirt Conall le grin.

"There's only one way to find out," said Conall with a grin.

Bheartaigh siad Fiachra, an mac léinn nua agus rúndiamhrach, a bhreith leo.

They decided to bring Fiachra, the new and mysterious student, with them.

Níor chuir siad an oiread sin ceisteanna ar Fiachra, ach d'aontaigh sé cabhrú leo.

They didn't ask Fiachra too many questions, but he agreed to help them.

Bhí rud éigin ar eolas aige nach raibh a fhios ag Conall ná Eibhlín.

He knew something that Conall and Eibhlín didn't.

Thug an triúr aghaidh ar an seanfhoirgneamh scoile.

The three headed to the old school building.

Bhí an seanleabharlann lán de leabhair sheanda agus doirse rúnda.

The old library was full of ancient books and secret doors.

Chinn Conall briseadh cúpla riail scoile chun teacht ar níos mó leideanna.

Conall decided to break a few school rules to find more clues.

Bhí áiteanna dorcha agus cúinne fá chothrom ag gach casadh.

There were dark places and hidden corners at every turn.

Fuair siad bosca beag faoi cheilt taobh thiar de leabharmheán d'aois.

They found a small box hidden behind an old bookshelf.

Bhí cluasán ann agus litir sheanchaite.

It contained a headset and a worn letter.

Léamh Conall an litir thuas leis an bhfianaise mhór.

Conall read the letter aloud with great interest.

"Tá rúin na scoile curtha i bhfolach anseo le scórtha bliain," a scríobhadh ann.

"The school's secrets have been hidden here for decades," it read.

"Na scoláirí nua a gheosfaidh iad beidh siad le freasúra."

"The new students who unlock them will face challenges."

Bhí an nóta mar chuid de phuzal mór, a thug go halla scoile a raibh gach scoláire ag dul.

The note was part of a bigger puzzle that led them to the school hall where all the students gathered.

Chuaigh siad i dteagmháil leis an bpríomh-oide golmhar a bhí mar sinsear na Scoile Uí Chiaraigh, agus mhínigh siad an scéal ar fad.

They approached the stern principal who was a descendant of the O’Keeffe School, and they explained the whole story.

Chuaigh an príomhoide mórtasach seandearcadh orthu.

The principal looked at them with pride.

"Bhí sibh eachtrúil agus misniúil," a dúirt sí, bródúil.

"You were adventurous and brave," she said, proud.

"Tabharfaidh mé an rún seo chun solais níos faide."

"I will bring this secret to light further."

Agus mar sin, tar éis gach rud, d'fhoghlaim Conall fiúntas an tSraith Fhoireann agus muinín.

And so, after everything, Conall learned the value of teamwork and trust.

Bhí níos mó luach aige ar chosantacht Eibhlín agus ar chabhair Fiachra.

He appreciated Eibhlín's caution and Fiachra's help even more.

Bhí sé ag áthas nuair a d'fhág an scoil anuraidh le heachtra neamhghnách agus glansámha leis a chairde.

He was happy to leave the school year with an unusual adventure and a bright smile with his friends.
