Bhí an geimhreadh le brath roimh am sa tundra Artach.

Winter was felt early in the Arctic tundra.

Bhí na sneachta ag titim go héadrom faoin spéir atá ag dorchú san fhómhar.

The snow was falling softly under the sky darkening in the autumn.

Ní raibh ach fothain bheag taighde ag seasamh san áit.

There was only a small research shelter standing in the place.

Bhí Eamon , fear óg tiomanta, ann ag déanamh taighde aeráide.

Eamon, a dedicated young man, was there conducting climate research.

Bhí fonn istigh ina chroí a bheith sa bhaile roimh Lá Buíochais.

There was a longing in his heart to be home before Thanksgiving.

Bhí Eamon uaigneach, ag iarraidh suaimhnis lá amháin.

Eamon was lonely, seeking peace one day.

Ach bhí fiontar mór ag fanacht air.

But a great venture awaited him.

Tháinig stoirm gaoithe tobann.

A sudden wind storm came.

Bhí an stoirm fiáin agus fuar.

The storm was wild and cold.

Chonaic Eamon Siobhán, comhghleacaí óna fhoireann, ag titim faoi na himthosca a bhí sa stoirm.

Eamon saw Siobhán, a colleague from his team, falling under the circumstances of the storm.

Bhí Siobhán i mbaol mór, bhí tinneas fuachta uirthi.

Siobhán was in great danger, suffering from hypothermia.

Ba ghá Eamon stopadh ag obair ar an taighde.

Eamon had to stop working on the research.

Bhí a fhios aige go gcaithfeadh sé cabhrú le Siobhán.

He knew he had to help Siobhán.

Bhí an cinneadh aige.

The decision was his.

Dáiríre, bhí rogha deacair aige.

Truly, he had a difficult choice.

Chuir sé a fhios ar an meabhair, cabhair a thabhairt di.

He put it in his mind to help her.

Thóg sé Siobhán isteach san fothain, ghleanna sé ar a cuid comhghleacaithe.

He took Siobhán into the shelter and informed her fellow colleagues.

"Seo é do sheans," a dúirt Niamh, an taighdeoir is sine agus is cliste sa ghrúpa.

"This is your chance," said Niamh, the oldest and smartest researcher in the group.

"Caithfidh tú buachan, a Eamon.

"You have to succeed, Eamon."

"D'úsáid Eamon gach scil leighis atá aige.

Eamon used every medical skill he had.

Bhí buataisí te, gach éadach is féidir dul ar Siobhán.

There were warm boots, every piece of clothing possible to put on Siobhán.

Bhí comhoibriú ar siúl ag an bhfoireann.

A collaborative effort was underway by the team.

D'oibrigh siad in éindí, teidil saoraithe ard ina mbéal.

They worked together, words of rescue hot on their lips.

Faoi dheireadh, thosaigh Siobhán ag teacht chuici féin, aiteal ag teacht ar ais ina corp.

Finally, Siobhán began to recover, breath returning to her body.

Bhí an ghrúpa go léir sásta nuair a d'éirigh leo.

The whole group was happy when they succeeded.

Bhí faoiseamh agus buíochas orthu.

Relief and gratitude were upon them.

Feictear go raibh soilsiú úr sa bhollán éigeandála.

It seemed there was a fresh light in the emergency shelter.

Fad is a bhí siad fós in áit dioma, fuair siad áthas óna chéile ina gcuideachta féin.

While they were still in a place of challenge, they found joy in each other's company.

Dháraigh Eamon conas is tábhachtaí pobail.

Eamon realized how important community is.

Thuig sé go raibh rath ann, ní amháin san obair taighde, ach i gcúram do dhaoine eile timpeall air.

He understood that success was not only in research work but in caring for others around him.

Bhí siad ar ais ina bhféinmhuiníne, réidh chun dul abhaile, láimh i láimh, freastal ar an bhféile mór.

They were back in their self-confidence, ready to go home, hand in hand, to attend the great festival.

Bhí a n-áit traenáilte, dúthracht a gcroí i bhfód, ag réiteach an gá gach ceann a chosaint.

Their place was prepared, the dedication of their hearts laid in the ground, preparing the need to protect each one.

An Lá Buíochais sin, ní raibh an tundra chomh ciúin le hintinn Eamon.

That Thanksgiving, the tundra was not as quiet as Eamon's mind.

Bhí an-oibriú déanta aige, mar aon leis an bhfoireann, tráthnóna speisialta aníos, a mheascann comhluadar agus grá sa ghála fhuar.

He had done a lot of work, along with the team, on a special evening approaching, mixing companionship and love in the cold gale.

Bhí athrú feicthe ag Eamon.

Eamon had witnessed a change.

Bhí a thuiscint ar chomhthuiscint faoi dhó, agus faoi dheireadh, fuair sé bua don chroí seachas an smaoineamh uaigneach a bhí aige ar dtús.

His understanding of mutual comprehension was doubled, and in the end, he achieved a victory for the heart rather than the lonely thought he initially had.
