Bhí lá an-fhuar i mBaile Átha Cliath.

It was a very cold day in Baile Átha Cliath.

B’iontach an radharc é an Dúbai Zool le dathanna geala an fhómhair.

The Dúbai Zool was a spectacular sight with the bright colors of autumn.

Bhí duilleoga ag titim ón na crainn, boladh na talún agus ainmhithe ag galadh ó chúl.

Leaves were falling from the trees, and the scent of the ground and animals wafted from the background.

Bhí lucht saothair agus cuairteoirí ag baint taitnimh as an atmaisféar.

Workers and visitors alike were enjoying the atmosphere.

I lár an haon, bhí Eoin, zoolritraí i mbun.

In the middle of it all was Eoin, a dedicated zoologist.

Bhí deacracht ag Eoin le hairgeadas, ach bhí grá ollmhór aige don chaomhnú.

Eoin had financial difficulties, but he had a deep love for conservation.

Bhí cruinniú gan choinne eagraithe ag a bhoss, ar an láthair.

An unexpected meeting had been arranged by his boss, on site.

Bhí Cliona agus Niamh le bheith ann freisin, beirt a raibh an-cháil orthu mar thaighdeoirí.

Cliona and Niamh were also to be there, both renowned as researchers.

Bhí Eoin ag mothú faoin tuathánach, mar shampla, ag iarraidh a réimse a thaispeáint, ach mothaigh sé i gcónaí nach mbeadh sé ag teacht leis na daoine eile.

Eoin was feeling apprehensive, eager to display his field but constantly feeling he wouldn’t measure up to the others.

"Cad a tharlóidh má labhraíonn mé agus má theipeann orm?

"What if I speak and fail?"

" smaoinigh sé.

he wondered.

De réir mar a thosaigh an cruinniú, thosaigh a bhoss ag caint.

As the meeting began, his boss started talking.

Bhí Eoin neirbhíseach agus ciúin.

Eoin was nervous and quiet.

Labhair Cliona ar dtús ina guth muiníneach.

Cliona spoke first with a confident voice.

Thug Niamh cur síos ar a pleananna, le soiléiriú.

Niamh described her plans with clarity.

Gach uair a thosaigh an trácht, chualathas an scamhadh ainmhithe ar na gaoithe.

Each time the conversation paused, the sound of animals breathing could be heard on the wind.

Bhí an dúil ag gach duine sa caomhnú.

Everyone was passionate about conservation.

Faoi dheireadh, d'fhéach an boss go díreach ar Eoin.

Finally, the boss looked directly at Eoin.

Thóg sé anáil dhomhain.

He took a deep breath.

"Tá smaoineamh agam," a dúirt sé go suaimhneach.

"I have an idea," he said calmly.

Mhínigh sé a smaointe go soiléir, ag caint ar fhón pócaí maidir le monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar ainmhithe timpeall an pháirc, agus ag mealladh ioncaim breise ó thicéidí ar leith.

He explained his thoughts clearly, discussing the use of mobile phones to monitor animals around the park and generating extra income through special tickets.

Bhí ionadh an domhain ar Chliona agus Niamh, agus bhí cuma spéisiúil ar thaobh a bhoss.

Cliona and Niamh were astonished, and their boss had an interested expression.

Ba léir go raibh an tacaíocht aige.

It was clear he had support.

"Seo cara bhí smaointe iontacha, Eoin," a dúirt an boss ar deireadh.

"You have great ideas, Eoin," the boss said at last.

Ag deireadh an chruinniú, d'fhág Cliona agus Niamh go ciúin.

At the end of the meeting, Cliona and Niamh left quietly.

Bhí an bua ag Eoin.

Eoin had succeeded.

Thuig sé gur fiú a chuid smaointe, fiú má bhí siad difriúil.

He realized his ideas were valuable, even if they were different.

Leis an tasc nua, bhraith Eoin níos muiníní agus láidir ina ghlór.

With the new task, Eoin felt more confident and strong in his voice.

Ag tabhairt céim amach as an zú, bhraith Eoin an ghaoth fhionnuar ar a aghaidh.

Stepping out of the zoo, Eoin felt the cool wind on his face.

Bhí sé ag tús rud iontach.

He was at the beginning of something wonderful.

Bhí an dúlra fós ag faire, a fhios aige go mbeadh cúram maith air sa bhailt seo faoi a stiúir.

Nature was still watching, knowing it would be well cared for under his guidance.

Bhí Eoin réidh anois le haghaidh dúshláin nua.

Eoin was now ready for new challenges.
