Bhí Dorothy beag tagtha chuig Aintín Em mar dhílleacht.
Little Dorothy had come to Aunt Em as an orphan.
Nuair a tháinig Dorothy den chéad uair chuir a gáire geit ar Aintín Em.
When Dorothy first came her laughter startled Aunt Em.
Bhí guth Dorothy lán d'áthas agus d'iontas.
Dorothy's voice was full of happiness and wonder.
Scread sí nuair a shroich guth Dorothy a cluasa.
She screamed when Dorothy's voice reached her ears.
Bhrúigh sí a lámh ar a croí le í féin a mhaolú.
She pressed her hand upon her heart to calm herself.
Agus d'fhéach sí ar an gcailín beag le hiontas.
And she looked at the little girl with wonder.
"Conas a d'fhéadfadh an cailín beag seo aon rud a aimsiú le gáire a dhéanamh faoi?"
"How could this little girl find anything to laugh at?"
