Ar maidin fuar i gContae Chiarraí, bhí sneachta ag titim go bog taobh amuigh den chábán cluthar inar oibrigh Áine agus Tadhg.

On a cold morning in Contae Chiarraí, snow was gently falling outside the cozy cabin where Áine and Tadhg worked.

Bhí dóiteán ag lasadh sa teallach agus an boladh deas de smólach san aer.

A fire was blazing in the fireplace, and the pleasant smell of smoke was in the air.

Bhí St. Bríd, nó Imbolc, beagnach inár measc, ag fógairt tús an earraigh.

St. Bríd, or Imbolc, was almost upon us, heralding the beginning of spring.

Bhí Áine agus Tadhg gafa le tionscadal tábhachtach.

Áine and Tadhg were engrossed in an important project.

Bhí ar Áine dearadh ailtireachta a chríochnú do chomhlacht mór.

Áine needed to complete an architectural design for a big company.

Ach bhí dreamaí ag Tadhg freisin - bhí sé ag iarraidh a rian féin a fhágáil ar an dearadh, don chéad uair.

But Tadhg also had dreams - he wanted to make his own mark on the design, for the first time.

Bhí an beirt acu ag obair le chéile, ach níor bhí sé éasca.

They were both working together, but it wasn't easy.

Bhí Áine dírithe agus eagraithe.

Áine was focused and organized.

B’fhearr léi a rialacha féin a leanúint agus bhí sí drogallach le ligean do dhuine ar bith eile ionchur a bheith acu.

She preferred to follow her own rules and was reluctant to let anyone else have input.

Bhí sí ag iarraidh a bheith ar thús cadhnaíochta agus aitheantas a fháil.

She wanted to be at the forefront and gain recognition.

Tadhg, afach, bhí spiorad cruthaitheach aige.

Tadhg, however, had a creative spirit.

Bhí sé réchúiseach agus dúil aige i ndearaí nua.

He was laid-back and had a passion for new designs.

Bhí sé muiníneach ina thallanna, ach bhí sé deacair é féin a chur chun cinn thar Áine.

He was confident in his talents, but found it difficult to promote himself over Áine.

"Áine, caithfimid go bhfeicíonn tú an ghné nádúrtha seo sa dearadh," arsa Tadhg, ag cur síl de smaointe as a lámha.

"Áine, you have to see this natural element in the design," said Tadhg, sowing seeds of ideas with his hands.

"Níl muid ag caint faoi garraiodóireacht, Tadhg," a dúirt Áine, rud beag feargach. "Tá amhras orm faoi sin."

"We're not talking about gardening, Tadhg," said Áine, a little annoyed. "I'm doubtful about that."

Ach an mhaidin sin, d’athraigh an aimsir go tobann.

But that morning, the weather changed suddenly.

Bhí stoirm sneachta ag reáchtáil thar na sléibhte, ag díriú an bheirt acu isteach sa chábán.

A snowstorm raced over the mountains, confining them both inside the cabin.

Níorbh fhéidir imeacht, agus theastaigh uathu an tionscadal a chríochnú in am.

They couldn't leave, and they needed to complete the project on time.

Le gach maothán sneachta ag cur is ag cur, tuigeann Áine rud éigin.

With each snowdrift piling up, Áine realized something.

"Tá orainn obair le chéile," arsa Áine. "Inniu, déanfaimid rud nua."

"We need to work together," said Áine. "Today, we'll create something new."

D'oibrigh an bheirt go dian le chéile, meascán de chruinneas Áine agus de chruthaitheacht Táidhg.

The two worked hard together, combining Áine's precision with Tadhg's creativity.

Chuir an stoirm a raibh orthu brath ar a chéile ar bhealaí nua.

The storm forced them to rely on each other in new ways.

Go deireanach san oíche, bhí an dearadh críochnaithe.

Late into the night, the design was finished.

Agus an stoirm tar éis dul ar aghaidh, d’fhill an dá ailtire go Baile Átha Cliath lena tionscadal.

With the storm passed, the two architects returned to Baile Átha Cliath with their project.

Bhí sé iontach.

It was exceptional.

Cuirtear fáilte roimh an dearadh sa chomhlacht, a mhol a nuálaíocht agus a comhoibriú.

The company welcomed the design, praising its innovation and collaboration.

Tá Áine níos solúbtha anois, tuigeann sí gur féidir tairbhe a bhaint as obair le daoine eile.

Áine is now more flexible, understanding that benefits can come from working with others.

Tá muinín tagtha ag Tadhg, agus feiceann sé gur féidir leis aignedéar a chur i bhfoirmeacha ailtireachta chomh maith leis chomh maith.

Tadhg has gained confidence and sees that he can express ideas in architectural forms as well.

Agus ar Oíche Fhéile Bríde, agus sneachta ag leá, tá tús úr ann, ní amháin dá dtionscadal, ach dá gcaidreamh oibre freisin.

And on Oíche Fhéile Bríde, with the snow melting, there is a fresh start, not only for their project, but for their working relationship too.
