Tá Aoife, Cian, agus Niamh ag siúl isteach sa lárionad siopadóireachta ardfhinneall i mBaile Átha Cliath.

Aoife, Cian, and Niamh are walking into the high-tech shopping center in Dublin.

Tá an áit lán le gliondar an tsamhraidh, le soilse geala agus fuaimeanna de bhloscán leis na teicneolaíochtaí is déanaí.

The place is full of summer cheer, with bright lights and the sounds of the latest technology flashing around.

Is lá gnóthach é do Aoife; tá liosta fada aici don siopadóireacht ar ais ar scoil, agus tá sí réidh leis an obair a chur di go héifeachtach.

It’s a busy day for Aoife; she has a long list for back-to-school shopping, and she's ready to tackle the tasks efficiently.

Tá a deartháir óg, Cian, ag fiosrach thart sa siopa.

Her younger brother, Cian, is curiously looking around the shop.

Is buachaill glic é, a éiríonn as radharc go héasca ina dhiaidh féin.

He’s a clever boy who easily vanishes from sight if you’re not careful.

Tá Aoife buartha an iomarca ama a chaitheamh gan é, ach tá Niamh, a cara is fearr, ag iarraidh iad a scaoileadh ar eachtra spraoiúil.

Aoife worries about spending too much time without him, but Niamh, her best friend, wants to let them go on a fun adventure.

“Fanaimid ar an bplean, a Niamh!” arsa Aoife.

“Let’s stick to the plan, Niamh!” says Aoife.

Ach tá a fhios ag Niamh gurb é rudaí beagáinín spontáineachta na chuimhní is fearr.

But Niamh knows that a little spontaneity creates the best memories.

Bíonn sí ag gáire agus ag tarraingt Aoife faoi nár cheart di a bheith ró-dhian.

She laughs and teases Aoife about not being too strict.

“Amharc ansin! An stáisiún VR!” léimeann Niamh amach go háthasach.

“Look over there! The VR station!” Niamh exclaims excitedly.

Slinneann Cian as radharc go tobann.

Suddenly, Cian slips out of sight.

Tá Aoife ag iarraidh é a thabhairt ar ais, ach tá carn mór de ghiuirléidí thart timpeall uirthi.

Aoife is trying to bring him back, but she’s surrounded by a heap of gadgets.

Cailleann sí smacht agus bíonn sí tionscana ar an méad imní.

She loses control and starts to feel anxious.

Cén áit a nduine Cian?

Where could Cian be?

Tar éis chuóta mhearbhall, aimsíonn Aoife é, sínte faoin taispeántas de theicneolaíocht fhionnuar.

After a brief moment of confusion, Aoife finds him, sprawled under a display of cool technology.

Tá sé ag faire ar gléas nua.

He's watching a new device intently.

Cuireann sí ionadh uirthi féachaint air, chomh lán le spéis.

She's surprised to see him so full of interest.

Osnaíonn Aoife ó scíth mhór.

Aoife exhales a big sigh of relief.

Foghlaimíonn sí rud nua — uaireanta, is fiú a bheith ag an láthair le chéile in ionad pleananna a leanúint go docht.

She learns something new — sometimes it's worthwhile to be present together rather than strictly following plans.

Sa deireadh, bíonn an triúr acu báite i gcluichí agus gléasanna éagsúla.

In the end, the three of them are immersed in various games and gadgets.

Agus iad ag siúl amach as an siopa, agus an liosta siopadóireachta i gcríochnú, tá Aoife níos ciallmhaire agus níos sona.

As they walk out of the store, with the shopping list completed, Aoife feels wiser and happier.

Tiocfaidh na héarlaisí, ach beidh na cuimhní cinn gach rud a choinneál le chéile.

Receipts will come and go, but the memories will hold everything together.
