Bhí an lá fionnuar agus duilleoga donn ag titim ar an talamh.

The day was cool and brown leaves were falling on the ground.

D'fhág Eoin a bhaile i mBaile Átha Cliath agus shiúil sé isteach i Músaem Náisiúnta na hÉireann.

Eoin left his home in Baile Átha Cliath and walked into the Músaem Náisiúnta na hÉireann.

Bhí sé ag súil le bronntanas breithlá a fháil do Saoirse, a chara is fearr.

He was hoping to find a birthday gift for Saoirse, his best friend.

Bhí an músaem lán le seoda ársa agus taispeántais stairiúla.

The museum was full of ancient treasures and historical exhibits.

Ach bhí a shúil ar an siopa.

But his eye was on the shop.

Bhí Saoirse cruthaitheach agus bhí grá aici don ealaín.

Saoirse was creative and loved art.

Ach, bhí Eoin cúthail agus ní raibh sé cinnte cad a roghnódh sé di.

But Eoin was shy and wasn't sure what to choose for her.

Bhí sé ag iarraidh a léiriú cé mhéad a thuigeann sé a cuid paisean.

He wanted to show how much he understood her passion.

“Theastaíonn cúnamh uaim,” a smaoinigh Eoin.

“I need help,” Eoin thought.

Chuir sé glaoch ar Mháire, a chara cliste agus phraiticiúil.

He called Máire, his smart and practical friend.

“Máire, an féidir leat bualadh liom ag an músaem?”

“Máire, can you meet me at the museum?”

D’aontaigh Máire le fonn cabhrú.

Máire eagerly agreed to help.

Tháinig Máire isteach sa siopa, áthas orm.

Máire came into the shop, full of joy.

“Cén rud a cheapann tú a chuirfeadh Saoirse sásta?” a d’fhiafraigh sí.

“What do you think would make Saoirse happy?” she asked.

“Ba mhaith liom rud éigin a roghnú a mheabhródh di an taispeántas sin a thaitin léi anuraidh,” a mhínigh Eoin go cúramach.

“I want to choose something that would remind her of that exhibit she loved last year,” Eoin explained carefully.

Thosaigh siad ag feiceáil na n-earraí cosúil le leabhair, pictiúir agus bréagáin.

They began looking through items like books, pictures, and toys.

Tháinig siad trasna ar phíosa ealaíne, pictiúr le dathanna bríomhara go díreach cosúil leis an taispeántas ealaíne is fearr leis Saoirse.

They came across a piece of art, a picture with vibrant colors just like Saoirse's favorite art exhibit.

Bhí an píosa iontach álainn agus uathúil.

The piece was stunningly beautiful and unique.

“Seo an ceann!” a dúirt Máire le muinín.

“This is the one!” Máire said confidently.

Bhí iontas agus sult ar Eoin freisin.

Eoin was both surprised and delighted.

Bhí a fhios aige go mbeadh Saoirse sásta leis an gwaith.

He knew Saoirse would be happy with the gift.

Bhí an t-am tagtha don lá mór.

The time had come for the big day.

Bhuail Eoin le Saoirse i gcaifé in aice leis an músaem.

Eoin met with Saoirse in a café near the museum.

Thug sé an bronntanas di, a chroí ag preabadh le hintinn.

He gave her the gift, his heart beating with anticipation.

D’oscail Saoirse an bronntanas.

Saoirse opened the gift.

D’fhoscail a beola i ndíograis agus lúcháir.

Her mouth opened in enthusiasm and joy.

“A Eoin, tá sé seo iontach.

“Oh Eoin, this is amazing.

Tá a fhios agat cé chomh mór is a thaitníonn an taispeántas sin liom.

You know how much I love that exhibit.

Go raibh míle maith agat!” a dúirt sí le gliondar.

Thank you so much!” she said with delight.

Bhí gliondar ar chroí Eoin.

Eoin's heart was filled with joy.

Ní hamháin gur aimsigh sé bronntanas foirfe, ach fuair sé muinín nua ann féin freisin.

Not only had he found the perfect gift, but he also gained new confidence in himself.

Bhí sé tábhachtach a thuiscint gur féidir cabhair ó chairde an cinneadh ceart a dhéanamh níos éasca.

It was important to realize that help from friends can make the right decision easier.

Bhí an t-am a chaith siad le chéile daingean níos fearr á dhéanamh ar chleamhnas a bhí ann cheana.

The time they spent together strengthened a bond that already existed.

Agus sa deireadh, bhí Saoirse briomhar agus sona lena bronntanas, rud a chuir meangadh ar Eoin freisin.

In the end, Saoirse was vibrant and happy with her gift, which also put a smile on Eoin's face.

Bhí a fhios aige anois go raibh sé in ann bronntanais bhríomhar a roghnú amach anseo.

He now knew he could choose meaningful gifts in the future.

Bhí grá na cairdeas agus cúnamh ó chairde mar dhóchas dochreidte ina anam.

The love of friendship and help from friends was an incredible hope in his soul.
