Ar maidin shocrach, bhí an spéir gorm agus an ghaoth go réidh ag séideadh thar Chonamara, áit a raibh Aoife, Ciarán, agus Séamus ag bailiú le chéile ag tús an earraigh.
On a calm morning, the sky was blue and the wind was gently blowing over Connemara, where Aoife, Ciarán, and Séamus were gathering at the beginning of spring.
Bhí siad ar tí tionscadal scoile a thosú faoin gcomhshaol, rud a raibh tábhacht mhór aige do gach duine acu.
They were about to start a school project on the environment, something that was very important to each of them.
Bhí imní ar Aoife, mar bhí sí meáite ar oidhreacht a seanathar a urramú.
Aoife was anxious because she was determined to honor her grandfather's legacy.
Bhí a croí folaithe ag mórtas agus ag guí go n-éireodh leo rud fiúntach a dhéanamh.
Her heart was filled with pride and she hoped that they could achieve something worthwhile.
Bhí Ciarán ag baint taitnimh as an dúlra thart timpeall orthu, ag baint taitnimh as an nádúr le macnas staidéir.
Ciarán was enjoying the nature around them, delighting in the environment with a passionate curiosity.
Bhí sé ag súil le go mbeadh an tionscadal mar slí chun Aoife a chur faoi gheasa aige.
He hoped the project would be a way to impress Aoife.
Bhí Séamus, ar an lámh eile, dírithe ar sprioc ard a bhaint amach d'fhonn an scoláireacht tábhachtach a fhail.
Séamus, on the other hand, was focused on achieving a high goal in order to secure an important scholarship.
"Cén chaoi a ndéanfaidh muid é seo?
"How will we do this?"
" a d'fhiafraigh Aoife, a raibh bród aici go raibh sí ina ceannaire ar an tionscadal.

"Caithfimid rud éigin nua agus spreagúil a chruthú.
"We need to create something new and exciting."
""Cad faoi turas siúlóide?
"What about a walking tour?"
" arsa Ciarán go díograiseach.
suggested Ciarán enthusiastically.
"Is breá le daoine an nádúr anseo.
"People love nature here.
Is féidir linn saol na foraoise a thaispeáint dóibh.
We can show them the life of the forest."
""Anois, a chairde," a dúirt Séamus go coinbhneasta.
"Now, friends," said Séamus practically.
"Táim ag smaoineamh go praiticiúil.
"I'm thinking pragmatically.
D'fhéadfadh sleamhnáin agus staitisticí le PowerPoint a bheith níos sciopa chun grád ard a bhaint amach.
PowerPoint slides and statistics could be quicker to achieve a high grade."
"Bhuail glórtha áthais ar fud an bhaile an mhaidin sin a raibh Féile Phádraig ag teacht.
The joyful sounds of the town were heard that morning as St. Patrick's Day was approaching.
Ach bhí an grúpa faoi dheifir.
But the group was in a hurry.
Le dhá lá go dtí an fhéile, bhí chinn Aoife ar taispeántas idirghníomhach a chruthú a nascadh le smaoineamh Ciarán.
With two days until the festival, Aoife decided to create an interactive exhibit that combined Ciarán's idea.
Vitalodh Séamus faoi.
Séamus was persuaded.
Le himeacht ama, tháinig an ceiliúradh Féile Phádraig chun críche.
As time passed, the St. Patrick's Day celebration came to an end.
