Thosaigh an scéal nuair a tháinig laethanta saoire an tsamhraidh faoi dheireadh. Bhí Róisín agus Síle ag seasamh os comhair an tséipéil agus iad ag caint faoin samhradh amach rompu. Bhí an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch, agus bhí áthas an domhain orthu.

The story begins when the summer holidays finally arrive. Róisín and Síle are standing in front of a church, talking about the summer ahead. The sun is splitting the stones, and they are absolutely delighted.

  1. Ag Lorg Poist – Looking for Jobs

Chuaigh siad chuig óstán áitiúil agus d’iarr siad postanna samhraidh ar an mbainisteoir. Bhí an bainisteoir an-sásta leo agus thug sé poist dóibh mar ghlantóirí. Thosaigh siad ag obair láithreach, ag glanadh seomraí agus ag folúsghlanadh.

They went to a local hotel and asked the manager for summer jobs. The manager was very happy with them and gave them jobs as cleaners. They started working immediately, cleaning rooms and vacuuming.

  1. Turas go dtí an Iodáil – A Trip to Italy

Tar éis tamaill, bhí dóthain airgid acu chun dul ar laethanta saoire. Thaistil siad go dtí an Iodáil agus thug siad cuairt ar an gColasaem sa Róimh. Rinne siad siopadóireacht agus bhain siad an-taitneamh as an turas.

After a while, they had enough money to go on holidays. They traveled to Italy and visited the Colosseum in Rome. They went shopping and really enjoyed their trip.

  1. Cluiche Peile agus an Pictiúrlann – A Football Match and the Cinema

Tar éis dóibh teacht abhaile, d’imir siad cluiche peile leis an gclub áitiúil agus bhuaigh siad an chraobh. Bhí atmaisféar dochreidte ann. Níos déanaí, chuaigh siad chuig an bpictiúrlann le scannán grinn a fheiceáil.

After coming home, they played a football match with their local club and won the championship. The atmosphere was incredible. Later, they went to the cinema to watch a comedy movie.

  1. Obair Dheonach – Voluntary Work

Chinn na cailíní cabhrú le Cumann Naomh Uinseann de Pól. Thug siad bia agus éadaí do dhaoine gan dídean agus bhí na daoine an-bhuíoch.

The girls decided to help St. Vincent de Paul. They gave food and clothes to homeless people, who were very grateful.

  1. Ag Breathnú Siar – Looking Back

Ag deireadh an tsamhraidh, bhí siad an-bhródúil astu féin. Cheap siad gurbh é an samhradh ab fhearr a bhí acu riamh agus bhí siad ag tnúth go mór leis an mbliain seo chugainn.

At the end of the summer, they were very proud of themselves. They thought it was the best summer they ever had and were really looking forward to the following year.
