Story Transcript:

Af: Die son het vroegoggend oor Kaapstad opgekome, en die lug was helder en blou.
En: The sun rose early over Cape Town, and the sky was clear and blue.

Af: Johan, Annika, en Pieter het besluit om 'n dag op Tafelberg deur te bring.
En: Johan, Annika, and Pieter decided to spend a day on Table Mountain.

Af: Hulle het almal stapklere aangetrek en genoeg water ingepak.
En: They all dressed in hiking clothes and packed enough water.

Af: Met groot opgewondenheid het hulle die staproete begin.
En: With great excitement, they began the hiking trail.

Af: Die grond was rof en klipperig, maar die uitsig was asemrowend.
En: The ground was rough and rocky, but the view was breathtaking.

Af: Langs die pad het hulle pragtige blomme en interessante voëls gesien.
En: Along the way, they saw beautiful flowers and interesting birds.

Af: Naby die middel van die roete het Johan verstrooid geraak.
En: Near the middle of the route, Johan got distracted.

Af: Hy het van 'n groot klip afgeglip.
En: He slipped off a large rock.

Af: "Aai!
En: "Ouch!"

Af: " het hy uitgeroep.
En: he cried out.

Af: Hy het op die grond geval en sy enkel geswik.
En: He fell to the ground and twisted his ankle.

Af: Annika en Pieter het vinnig na Johan se sy gehardloop.
En: Annika and Pieter quickly ran to Johan's side.

Af: "Is jy reg, Johan?
En: "Are you okay, Johan?"

Af: " het Annika gevra.
En: Annika asked.

Af: Johan het sy kop geskud.
En: Johan shook his head.

Af: "Ek dink ek het my enkel seergemaak," het hy gesê.
En: "I think I hurt my ankle," he said.

Af: Hulle het gesien sy enkel was geswel.
En: They saw that his ankle was swollen.

Af: Pieter het geweet hulle moet hulp kry.
En: Pieter knew they needed to get help.

Af: "Ons moet afgaan, Johan kan nie verder stap nie," het Pieter gesê.
En: "We have to go back down; Johan can't hike further," Pieter said.

Af: Annika het 'n bietjie ys uit haar rugsak gehaal en dit op Johan se enkel gesit.
En: Annika took some ice from her backpack and put it on Johan's ankle.

Af: "Dit sal help met die pyn," het sy gesê.
En: "This will help with the pain," she said.

Af: Pieter het sy selfoon gevat en vir hulp gebel.
En: Pieter took his cellphone and called for help.

Af: Hulle het saam gesit en gewag vir die reddingspan.
En: They sat together and waited for the rescue team.

Af: Johan het dankbaar na sy vriende gekyk.
En: Johan looked gratefully at his friends.

Af: "Dankie dat julle hier is," het hy gesê.
En: "Thank you for being here," he said.

Af: Nie lank daarna nie het die reddingspan opgedaag.
En: Not long after, the rescue team arrived.

Af: Hulle het 'n draagbaar gehad en Johan veilig na die onderkant van die berg geneem.
En: They had a stretcher and safely took Johan to the base of the mountain.

Af: By die basis, het 'n ambulans Johan gehelp.
En: At the base, an ambulance assisted Johan.

Af: Annika en Pieter het saam met Johan hospitaal toe gegaan.
En: Annika and Pieter went with Johan to the hospital.

Af: Na 'n kort ondersoek het die dokter gesê Johan sal gou beter word.

En: He just needed to rest for a while.

Af: Almal het verlig gevoel.
En: Everyone felt relieved.

Af: "Volgende keer sal ons meer versigtig wees," het Annika gesê, en almal het geglimlag.

En: Johan knew he had wonderful friends who would always be there for him.
