I dtuaisceart Chontae Chill Mhantáin, i Glendalough, bhí an lá geal cáithréimeach.

In the north of County Wicklow, in Glendalough, the day was bright and triumphant.

Bhí an fhéile na Cásca ar siúl agus bhí na daoine sásta.

The Easter festival was underway and the people were happy.

Bhí an dúlra ag múscailt faoin ngrian, agus bhí bláthanna fiáine ag alán bláth.

Nature was awakening under the sun, and wildflowers were blooming abundantly.

Bhí Eoin, Siobhán, agus Niamh ag dul ar shiúlóid.

Eoin, Siobhán, and Niamh were going for a walk.

Bhí Eoin lán le fuinneamh, réidh chun a líonadh siar machaire na sléibhte.

Eoin was full of energy, ready to fill his spirit with the mountain plains.

"B'fhearr liom grianghraif iontacha a ghlacadh," a dúirt sé.

"I'd prefer to take amazing photographs," he said.

Thosaigh na triúr ag siúl ón gcarrchlós, ag tabhairt aghaidh ar na háilleachtaí atá le feiceáil os a gcomhair.

The three started walking from the car park, facing the beauties visible before them.

Bhí na lochanna uachtair mar sheoid den áit.

The upper lakes were like jewels of the place.

Ach ní fada a bhí siad ag dul nuair a thimpeall an chúinne, sleamhnaigh cos Eoin agus thit sé go hionadhach.

But they hadn't been walking long when, around the corner, Eoin's foot slipped, and he fell unexpectedly.

"Mmmm," a gháir Eoin agus é ag déanamh iarracht seasamh suas.

"Mmmm," cried Eoin as he tried to stand up.

Bhí sé sin gasta gur bhraith sé gur tharla rud mícheart.

It wasn't long before he realized something was wrong.

"Timpiste!

"An accident!"

" arsa Siobhán, ag seasamh lena dheartháir.

said Siobhán, standing by her brother.

Bhí an chiall aici.

She was right.

"Ní féidir linn dul in airde," ar sí go brónach.

"We can't go uphill," she said sadly.

Ach bhí mian Eoin chomh láidir sin gur b'éigean dó aisti siar a throid.

But Eoin's will was so strong that he had to fight back from giving up.

"Maith go leor.

"Alright.

Ní thabharfaidh mé suas," ar Eoin.

I won't give up," said Eoin.

Ach bhí a dheirfiúr buartha fós.

But his sister was still worried.

D'iarr siad ar Niamh cad a cheap sí, agus mhaíomh Niamh go raibh cosán níos éasca acu fós.

They asked Niamh what she thought, and Niamh suggested they still had an easier path ahead.

Agus mar sin phleanáil siad ar aghaidh.

And so they planned to move forward.

"Is é seo an turas difriúil," arsa Niamh, agus í ag siúl cinnte amach ar fud na gcoillte craicne.

"This is a different journey," said Niamh, confidently walking out through the wooded trails.

Ar deireadh, shroich siad áit a raibh an talamh tochtmhar agus an radharcán ceann tuisce.

Finally, they reached a place where the ground was soft and the views were breathtaking.

Bhí siad ag iarraidh fanacht sábháilte.

They wanted to stay safe.

Bhí Eoin tuirseach.

Eoin was tired.

Bhí radharcanna iontacha thart timpeall orthu.

There were incredible sights all around them.

"B'áilleacht difriúil é seo," ar Eoin, agus an ceamara ina lámha.

"This is a different beauty," said Eoin, with the camera in his hands.

Thóg sé grianghraif a raibh sé aghaidh le bród.

He took photos that he was proud of.

"Ní raibh a fhios agam go raibh áilleacht mar seo ann," ar sé le aoibh mhór.

"I didn’t know such beauty existed," he said with a big smile.

Sa deireadh, d'fhoghlaim Eoin go mbíonn iontas ann i gcónaí.

In the end, Eoin learned that there's always wonder to be found.

Is é an turas féin an bronntanas mór.

The journey itself is the great gift.

Agus mar sin, d'fhág an triúr, lán le ríméad agus iad sásta.

And so, the three left, full of joy and contentment.

Bhí an lá Cásca fíor-iontach i Glendalough.

It was a truly wonderful Easter day in Glendalough.
