Story Transcript:
Af: In die hartjie van die Knysna-bos was daar 'n klein oase, omring deur groen bome en 'n liedjie wat deur die blare gefluister word.
En: In the heart of the Knysna forest, there was a small oasis, surrounded by green trees and a song whispered through the leaves.
Af: Dit was hier waar Lerato, Jan en Elizma besluit het om hulle Sondagmiddag deur te bring – met 'n piekniek kombers uitgesprei onder die wolklose blouviolet hemel.
En: It was here that Lerato, Jan, and Elizma decided to spend their Sunday afternoon – with a picnic blanket spread out under the cloudless blue-violet sky.
Af: Lerato het haar mandjie vol lekkernye afgesit.
En: Lerato set down her basket full of treats.
Af: "Kyk hoe mooi is dit hier!
En: "Look how beautiful it is here!"
Af: " het sy uitgeroep.
En: she exclaimed.
Af: Jan het sy hoed afgehaal en die koel lug ingeasem.
En: Jan took off his hat and breathed in the cool air.
Af: "Perfek vir ons piekniek," het hy met 'n breë glimlag gesê.
En: "Perfect for our picnic," he said with a broad smile.
Af: Elizma, wat altyd na die kleinste besonderhede omgegee het, het die rooi-en-wit geblokte kombers reg getrek sodat elke hoek perfek gespasieer was.
En: Elizma, who always cared about the smallest details, straightened out the red-and-white checkered blanket so that every corner was perfectly spaced.
Af: Terwyl hulle hul kos uitgepak het – vars gebakte brood, kaas, en 'n verskeidenheid vrugte – het 'n vreedsame stilte oor hulle neergedaal.
En: As they unpacked their food – fresh baked bread, cheese, and a variety of fruits – a peaceful silence descended upon them.
Af: Maar die stilte was van korte duur.
En: But the silence was short-lived.
Af: Uit die een ooghoek het Lerato 'n vinnige beweging opgemerk.
En: Lerato noticed a quick movement out of the corner of her eye.
Af: "Wat was dit?
En: "What was that?"
Af: " fluister sy.
En: she whispered.
Af: Voor iemand kon antwoord, was die rustige piekniek toneel in chaos gedompel.
En: Before anyone could answer, the tranquil scene of the picnic was plunged into chaos.
Af: 'n Groep vervet-apies het uit die boomtoppe afgespring en begin om alles in sig te gryp.
En: A group of vervet monkeys leaped from the treetops and began grabbing everything in sight.
Af: Met vinnige, klein hande het die ape 'n appel hier, 'n broodjie daar gegryp.
En: With quick, small hands, the monkeys snatched an apple here, a little bread roll there.
Af: Een brutaal klein aap het selfs 'n heel tros druiwe voor Jan se verstomde oë weggeruk.
En: One cheeky little monkey even grabbed a whole bunch of grapes in front of Jan's astonished eyes.
Af: Hulle het bokant hulle koppe geswaai, met stukke kos wat soos kleurvolle reën deur die lug gestrooi is.
En: They swung above their heads, with pieces of food scattered through the air like colorful rain.
Af: Elizma, normalweg so georganiseerd en kalm, het haar hande in die lug gegooi.
En: Elizma, normally so organized and calm, threw her hands in the air.
Af: "Ag nee!
En: "Oh no!
Af: Ons kos!
En: Our food!"
Af: " het sy uitgeroep.
En: she exclaimed.
Af: Lerato het probeer om 'n blik vrugtekonfyt te red, maar dit was te laat – 'n geslepe apie het dit gegryp en het al in die boom gesit, die deksel oopgeforseer.
En: Lerato tried to save a jar of fruit preserves, but it was too late – a crafty monkey grabbed it and sat in the tree, prying the lid open.
Af: Jan het gelag tussen sy frustrasie.
En: Jan laughed amidst his frustration.
Af: "Ons sal vinniger as hulle moet wees!
En: "We'll have to be faster than them!"
Af: " het hy aangemoedig.
En: he encouraged.
Af: Maar die ape was oral – 'n toonbeeld van onvoorspelbare beweging en gierigheid.
En: But the monkeys were everywhere – a picture of unpredictable movement and greed.
Af: Omring deur die apies en met hul piekniek in puin, het die vriende 'n oomblik van onmag gevoel.
En: Surrounded by the monkeys and with their picnic in ruins, the friends felt a moment of helplessness.
Af: Maar dit was Lerato wat uiteindelik opgestaan het met 'n plan.
En: But it was Lerato who eventually stood up with a plan.
Af: Sy het na die riete by die rivieroewer gewys.
En: She pointed to the reeds by the riverside.
Af: "Kom ons gebruik die bessies!
En: "Let's use the berries!"
Af: " het sy voorgestel.
En: she suggested.
Af: Met ligte tred het hulle na die rivieroewer gegaan en hul sakke met die soet rooi bessies gevul.
En: With light steps, they went to the riverside and filled their bags with the sweet red berries.
Af: Toe hulle terugkom by die piekniekplek het Lerato die bessies in 'n oop houer uitgespoel en dit amper terloops,'n paar treë van hul sitplek af, neergesit.
En: When they returned to the picnic spot, Lerato rinsed the berries in an open container and placed it almost casually, a few steps away from their seating area.
Af: Soos verwag, het die ape die nuwe bron van kos dadelik opgemerk.
En: As expected, the monkeys immediately noticed the new food source.
Af: Met 'n afleiding in plek, het die vriende hul oorblywende kos in die mandjies gepak.
En: With a distraction in place, the friends packed their remaining food into the baskets.
Af: Met gesteelde oomblikke het hulle gespartel en giggel, terwyl hulle na 'n nuwe piekniekplek onder 'n groot ou eikeboom verskuif het, ver weg van die ondeundheid van die vervet-apies.
En: With stolen moments, they struggled and giggled as they shifted to a new picnic spot under a large old oak tree, far away from the mischief of the vervet monkeys.
Af: Daar, onder die skadu van die eikeboom, het Lerato, Jan en Elizma hulle piekniek met 'n nuwe begrip vir die Knysna-bos aangevul.
En: There, under the shade of the oak tree, Lerato, Jan, and Elizma complemented their picnic with a new understanding of the Knysna forest.
Af: Hulle het die bessies se helder kleur geniet en gedink dat hulle dalk net die bos se eie manier gevind het om saam met die woud te lag.
En: They enjoyed the bright color of the berries and thought that they might have just found the forest's own way of laughing with the woods.
Af: En terwyl hulle die vrede van die bos weer eens ingedrink het, het dit duidelik geword dat hulle 'n middag sou onthou – vol avontuur, lag en natuurlik, 'n paar skelm vervet-apies.
En: And as they once again drank in the peace of the forest, it became clear that they would remember an afternoon – full of adventure, laughter, and of course, a few mischievous vervet monkeys.
