Sa scoil ard i mBaile Átha Cliath, bhí an aimsir gheimhridh ag teacht go luath.

At the high school in Baile Átha Cliath, the winter weather was arriving early.

Bhí an t-aer fionnuar, lán le duilleoga donn ar na talún.

The air was crisp, full of brown leaves on the ground.

Bhí sceitimíní ar gach duine mar gheall ar an bhféile Oíche Shamhna a bhí le teacht.

Everyone was excited about the approaching Oíche Shamhna festival.

Siobhan, cailín ciúin agus cruthaitheach sa rang ealaíne, bhí aisling aici faoi theach taibhseach ag an bhféile.

Siobhan, a quiet and creative girl in the art class, had a dream about a haunted house for the festival.

Bhí sé ina deiseanna chun a scileanna a thaispeáint agus níos mó ná sin, a bheith aitheanta sa scoil.

It was her opportunity to showcase her skills and, more than that, to be recognized at the school.

Ach, bhí Cormac, an fear grinn sa rang, ag cur as gach uair.

But Cormac, the class clown, was constantly causing distractions.

Bhí sé ag tarraingt aird ar a ghreann, rud a chuir isteach ar Siobhan.

He drew attention to his humor, which bothered Siobhan.

Bhí Niamh, an t-uachtarán ar an gcomhairle scoláirí, an-chliste agus eagraithe.

Niamh, the president of the student council, was very smart and organized.

Bhí uirthi gach rud a bhainistiú ó chostais go soláthairtí.

She had to manage everything from costs to supplies.

Ba chara maith í le Siobhan, agus chabhraigh sí léi plean a chur le chéile.

She was a good friend of Siobhan and helped her come up with a plan.

Smaoinigh sí go mb'fhéidir go mbeadh Cormac úsáideach, más bainistíodh a fhuinneamh i gceart.

She thought that maybe Cormac could be useful if his energy was properly managed.

Rinne siad cinneadh Cormac a úsáid ar bhealach dearfach trí thabhairt dó tascanna a bhí oiriúnach dá chumas.

They decided to use Cormac in a positive way by giving him tasks suited to his abilities.

Bhí sé ar fheabhas ag suirí le daoine agus ag mealladh cuairteoirí isteach sa teach taibhseach.

He was excellent at charming people and luring visitors into the haunted house.

Bhí Siobhan i gceannas ar na maisiúcháin, ag úsáid ábhair athchúrsáilte agus ar saibhreas a shamhlaíochta chun an teach a athrú ina ríocht dorcha agus scanrúil.

Siobhan was in charge of the decorations, using recycled materials and the richness of her imagination to transform the house into a dark and frightening realm.

Lá na féile, nuair a bhí gach rud réidh, tharla timpiste.

On the day of the festival, when everything was ready, an accident happened.

Thit cuid de na maisiúcháin síos, díreach sula raibh daoine sásta isteach.

Some of the decorations fell down just before people were about to come in.

Bhí imní ar Siobhan, ach d’fhéach sí ar an obair a bhí á dhéanamh aici agus a dúirt sí í féin nach dtitfeadh sí go héasca.

Siobhan was worried, but she looked at the work she was doing and told herself she wouldn't give up easily.

Cuireadh glaoch ar Niamh agus Cormac láithreach.

Niamh and Cormac were called immediately.

Le chéile, d'úsáid siad a scileanna don rud ceart: Cormac a bhainistiú an lucht féachana le scéalta scanrúla, ag coinneáil a n-aird agus a n-eagla ina chroí, agus í féin ag cur gach rud ar ais le chéile le gníomhaíocht tapa.

Together, they used their skills for the right purpose: Cormac managed the audience with scary stories, keeping their attention and fear in check, while she put everything back together with quick action.

Thosaigh Niamh arís ar eagrú na soláthairtí, ag dul i dteagmháil leis na múinteoirí le haghaidh cúpla lámh níos mó le cuidiú.

Niamh restarted organizing the supplies, reaching out to the teachers for a few more hands to help.

Tar éis roinnt streachailtí, bhí gach rud críochnaithe in am.

After some struggles, everything was finished in time.

Bhí an teach taibhseach, le Scéalta Siobhán, cruthaithe go cruthaitheach agus bhí an-áthas ar gach duine.

The haunted house, with Siobhan's stories, was creatively crafted, and everyone was delighted.

Mhol gach duine í as a héirim agus a misneach.

Everyone praised her for her ingenuity and courage.

Rinne Cormac iontas ar cách lena ranníocaíochtaí spreagúla agus tuill sé aitheantas.

Cormac surprised everyone with his inspiring contributions and earned recognition.

Ba é seo an deireadh foirfe don saincheist a bhí acu.

This was the perfect ending to the issue they faced.

Mhol an scoil go léir Siobhan as a cuid oibre, agus bhí meas acu ar a cuid ealaíne.

The whole school praised Siobhan for her work, and they respected her art.

Mheith sí muiníneach as féin agus bhraith sí níos ceangailte leis an bpobal scoile ná riamh.

She gained confidence in herself and felt more connected to the school community than ever before.

Bhí sí nach cailín ciúin amháin a níos mó, ach ealaíontóir aitheanta.

She was no longer just a quiet girl but a recognized artist.

Mar sin, tharla an féile, lán le spraoi agus scanradh, ach fós cuimhní álainn.

Thus, the festival happened, full of fun and fright, yet still with beautiful memories.
