Notes
Pictiúr 1
I bpictiúr a haon, feicimid deirfiúracha, Máire agus Lisa ag an stáisiún traenach i mBaile Átha Cliath.
In picture one, we see sisters, Máire and Lisa at the train station in Dublin.
Tá traein amháin ag dul i dtreo Corcaí agus tá traein eile ag dul i dtreo na Gaillimhe.
One train is going in the direction of Cork and the other train is going in the direction of Galway.
Tá Máire agus Lisa ag dul go Gaillimh don deireadh seachtaine.
Máire and Lisa are going to Galway for the weekend.
Fágann a dtuismitheoirí slán leo agus guíonn siad ádh orthu. Feicfidh siad a chéile arís ar an Luan.
Their parents say goodbye and wish them luck. They will see each other again on Monday.
Pictiúr 2
I bpictiúr a dó, tá Máire agus Lisa ina suí ar an traein.
In the second picture, Máire and Lisa are sitting on the train.
Tá Máire ag léamh leabhair agus tá Lisa ag úsáid a ríomhaire. Tá siad ag comhrá lena chéile ag an am céanna.
Máire is reading a book and Lisa is using her computer. They are chatting with each other at the same time.
Sa chúinne, feictear fear ina chodladh. Tá sé ag caitheamh spéaclaí gréine.
In the corner, we see a man sleeping. He is wearing sunglasses.
Pictiúr 3
Tar éis cúpla nóiméad, titeann Lisa ina codladh.
After a couple of minutes, Lisa falls asleep.
Mar sin, níl sí ag faire ar a sparán atá fágtha go neamhchúiseach ar an mbord.
Therefore, she isn’t watching her purse, which is left carelessly on the table.
Go ciúin agus go discréideach, goideann an fear leis na spéaclaí gréine an sparán i ngan fhios do na cailíní.
Quietly and discreetly, the man with the sunglasses steals the purse without the girls knowing.
Pictiúr 4
Nuair a dhúisíonn na cailíní, tá an gadaí imithe.
When the girls wake up, the thief is gone.
Feiceann siad go bhfuil an sparán ar iarraidh.
They see that the purse is missing.
Tá ionadh agus eagla ar Lisa, tá rudaí luachmhara aici ann.
Lisa is shocked and scared, she has valuable things in it.
Déanann Máire iarracht teacht ar an sparán. Molann sí do Lisa féachaint timpeall na traenach, sa chás gur thit sé in áit éigin.
Máire tries to find the purse. She suggests to Lisa to look around the train, in case it fell somewhere.
Pictiúr 5
Nuair a léir nach bhfuil an spáran in aon áit, ritheann na cailíní chuig an gcigire chun tuairisc a dhéanamh ar an robáil.
When it’s clear that the purse isn’t anywhere in sight, the girls run up to the inspector to report the robbery.
Iarrann an cigire ar na cailíní cur síos a dhéanamh ar an bhfear a bhí ina shuí in aice leo agus ar an sparán chomh maith.
The inspector asks the girls to describe the man who was sitting next to them as well as the purse.
Cuireann an cigire glaoch ar an gcigire eile atá ag an stáisiún traenach i nGaillimh.
The inspector calls the other inspector that’s at the train station in Galway.
Deir sé leis a chinntiú go bhfuil Gardaí ag fanacht ag an stáisiún nuair a shroicheann an traein Gaillimh agus déanann sé cur síos ar an ngadaí ionas go mbeidís in ann é a aithint.
He tells him to make sure there are Gardaí waiting at the station when the train arrives in Galway and he describes the thief so that they will be able to recognise him.
Pictiúr 6
Sa phictiúr deireanach, sroicheann an traein stáisiún na Gaillimhe agus beireann na gardaí ar an ngadaí lom láithreach.
In the last picture, the train reaches Galway station and the Gardaí catch the thief straight away.
Aimsíonn siad an sparán ina sheilbh aige agus tugann garda amháin do Lisa é.
They find the purse in his possession and one Garda gives it to Lisa.
Gabhann Lisa míle buíochas leis an ngarda. Tá an t-ádh dearg léi go raibh siad in ann teacht ar an ngadaí agus ar an sparán.
Lisa thanks the garda. She’s very lucky that they were able to find the thief and the purse.
Gan dabht, beidh sí níos cúramaí an chéad uair eile!
Without doubt, she will be more careful the next time!
