Bhí an sioc ag glioscarnach ar chrannán an dúlra sa Ghairdín Náisiúnta.

The frost was glistening on the natural grove in the Ghairdín Náisiúnta.

Bhí an Nollaig anseo.

Christmas was here.

Bhí atmaisféar draíochta le brath ar fud an áit agus bhí solas Nollag ag soilsiú an gairdín.

There was a magical atmosphere all around, and Christmas lights were illuminating the garden.

Bhí turas speisialta á eagrú ag Zú Bhaile Átha Cliath le haghaigh cuairteoirí do pháistí beaga.

A special tour was organized by Zú Bhaile Átha Cliath for young children's visitors.

Lá fuar a bhí ann, ach chuir an Ghrian go dtiubh.

It was a cold day, but the sun was shining brightly.

Bhí na páistí ag rith thart le scairdeanna sa spéir agus bhí sé pléisiúrtha bheith ann.

The children were running around with streams of joy in the air, and it was a pleasure to be there.

Eoin, fear cineálta a chaith amuigh in aghaidh na gaoithe le hainmhithe na háite, bhí sé gnóthach ag eagrú an ghrúpa.

Eoin, a kind man who spent time outdoors against the wind with the local animals, was busy organizing the group.

Bhí paisean ag Eoin dá phost mar zó-eolaí.

Eoin had a passion for his job as a zookeeper.

Meas mór a bhí aige ar chúram an nádúir agus na beatha fhiáine.

He had great respect for the care of nature and wildlife.

Rinne Siobhán, a bhí ina comhghleacaí leis, obair chrua mar tréidlia sa zú.

Siobhán, who was his colleague, worked hard as a veterinarian at the zoo.

Bhrú anuas sioc éadrom ar Eoin, mothaíonn sé beagán doiléir ach leanann sé ar aghaidh.

A light frost settled on Eoin, making him feel a little hazy, but he carried on.

Siobhán, le haghaidh géar, thug sí faoi deara é.

Siobhán, with a keen eye, noticed it.

Bhí buarta uirthi agus chonaic sí é ar sliabhán searmanach.

She was worried and saw him on a slippery patch.

Thug sí comhairle dhó a bheith cúramach leis féin, ach bhí sé ag smaoineamh ar na hainmhithe, ní é féin.

She advised him to be careful with himself, but he was thinking about the animals, not himself.

Bhí gnó ríthábhachtach ar siúl aige Eoin.

Eoin was carrying out crucial work.

Gach áit a raibh gá aige bheith, bhí sé ann.

Everywhere he needed to be, he was there.

Ach, athraíonn rudaí go tobann, leaba chuimil, cuireann a chorp in iúl dá chleamhnacht.

But, things suddenly changed, energy waned, and his body signaled its exhaustion.

Lár turas don Nollaig, thit Eoin síos go mall.

In the middle of the Christmas tour, Eoin slowly collapsed.

Bhí faitíos ar na páistí agus na tuismitheoirí, ach déanann Siobhán gníomh tapaigh.

The children and parents were frightened, but Siobhán acted quickly.

Bhí géarghá le cúnamh do Eoin, agus bhí Síobhán ann chun cúrsaí a chur in ord is in eagar.

Eoin was in dire need of help, and Siobhán was there to sort things out.

Ghlaoigh sí ar otharcharr.

She called an ambulance.

Láithreach, thóg siad é i gcairteal na n-úire.

Immediately, they took him away urgently.

Tugadh go dtí an t-ospidéal é, áit ar chuir na dochtúirí tshár a ndea-shláinte ar Eoin.

He was taken to the hospital, where the doctors restored Eoin's good health.

Bhí sé gearrtha with tuirse agus díhiodráitiú.

He was diagnosed with fatigue and dehydration.

Bhí ordú leagtha isteach coinnigean isteach Eoin, ag ordú dó ann féin agus scíth a ligean i rith an tsos Nollag.

An order was placed to keep Eoin in for monitoring, requiring him to rest over the Christmas break.

D'éirigh Eoin níos tuisceanaí gur chuireacháin ar a shláinte féin ní mór.

Eoin became more aware that attention to his own health was crucial.

Fás bisiúil ciallmhar é bhí ansin agus geallann sé géilleadh do chabhair.

It was a wise and fruitful realization, and he promised to heed the advice.

Ar an dóigh sin, d'fhoghlaim Eoin go bhfuil sé riachtanach aire a thabhairt dó féin mar chuid den obair, agus go raibh Siobhán anháisiúil ag tabhairt aire dó le linn am crua.

In this way, Eoin learned that taking care of himself is essential as part of the job, and he was grateful for Siobhán's support during a difficult time.

Ag deireadh an lae, faigheann Eoin an t-am le scíth ar an tolg ag bréagnú thuas leis na cuimhní shin.

At the end of the day, Eoin finds time to relax on the couch, reflecting on those memories.

Éist Eoin le an gáire na bpáistí, mothaíonn sé beannaithe le Siobhán mar chara iontaofa.

Eoin listens to the laughter of the children, feeling blessed with Siobhán as a trustworthy friend.

Ar an Nollaig seo, faigheann Eoin tuiscint nua ar chothromaíocht fíor-shaolta.

This Christmas, Eoin gained a new understanding of true-life balance.
