Story Transcript:

Af: Die wind het saggies oor die vlaktes gewaai, daar hoog bo op Tafelberg.
En: The wind blew gently across the plains, high up on Table Mountain.

Af: Johan en Elmarie het gestaan en oor die stad gekyk.
En: Johan and Elmarie stood and looked over the city.

Af: Die son het begin sak, en 'n goue gloed het oor alles gespoel.
En: The sun began to set, and a golden glow washed over everything.

Af: "Het jy al ooit gewonder wat hierbo versteek is?
En: "Have you ever wondered what's hidden up here?"

Af: " vra Johan met 'n glimlag.
En: asked Johan with a smile.

Af: Elmarie het geglimlag en ingestem.
En: Elmarie smiled and nodded in agreement.

Af: Hulle het terug na die pad begin stap toe Johan iets blinkers in die gras gewaar.
En: They began to walk back to the path when Johan noticed something shiny in the grass.

Af: "Wat is dit?
En: "What is that?"

Af: " vra hy en buk om dit nader te bekyk.
En: he asked, bending down to take a closer look.

Af: Dit was 'n metaalplaatjie met vreemde inskripsies.
En: It was a metal plate with strange inscriptions.

Af: "Los dit liewer, Johan," sê Elmarie, maar Johan was te nuuskierig.
En: "Better leave it alone, Johan," said Elmarie, but Johan was too curious.

Af: Hy het sy hand uitgestrek en dit aangeraak.
En: He reached out his hand and touched it.

Af: Skielik het 'n helder lig uit die grond geskiet en 'n hologramportaal het verskyn.
En: Suddenly, a bright light shot out of the ground, and a hologram portal appeared.

Af: Elmarie het geskrik.
En: Elmarie was startled.

Af: "Wat het jy gedoen?
En: "What did you do?"

Af: " roep sy.
En: she exclaimed.

Af: Die portaal het begin draai en 'n sagte hum het deur die lug gesweef.
En: The portal began to spin, and a soft hum filled the air.

Af: "Dit lyk soos 'n portaal," sê Johan.
En: "It looks like a portal," said Johan.

Af: Hy wink vir Elmarie om nader te kom.
En: He motioned for Elmarie to come closer.

Af: Hulle het na die pragtige, draaiende liggestalte gestaar.
En: They stared at the beautiful, rotating light formation.

Af: Moed bymekaargeskraap, sê Johan: "Kom ons probeer dit uit.
En: Gathering his courage, Johan said, "Let's try it out."

Af: " Elmarie het huiwerig nader geskuifel.
En: Elmarie hesitantly shuffled closer.

Af: "Seker ons sal terug kan kom?
En: "Are you sure we'll be able to come back?"

Af: " vra sy.
En: she asked.

Af: Maar Johan was reeds besig om vorentoe te stap.
En: But Johan was already stepping forward.

Af: Hy raak die rand van die portaal aan, en met 'n flits van lig verdwyn hy.
En: He touched the edge of the portal, and with a flash of light, he disappeared.

Af: Elmarie het nie veel tyd gehad om bang te wees nie.
En: Elmarie didn't have much time to be scared.

Af: Sy stap ook na vore en skielik vind sy haar in 'n ander plek.
En: She stepped forward too, and suddenly found herself in another place.

Af: Sy was op 'n strand, met helder blou water om haar.
En: She was on a beach, with bright blue water around her.

Af: Johan het haar hand gegryp en gelag.
En: Johan grabbed her hand and laughed.

Af: "Ons is in Thailand!
En: "We're in Thailand!"

Af: " roep hy uit.
En: he exclaimed.

Af: Elmarie se oë rek van ongeloof.
En: Elmarie's eyes widened in disbelief.

Af: "Dit is aan die ander kant van die wêreld!
En: "This is on the other side of the world!"

Af: "'n Paar oomblikke later besluit hulle om weer die portaal te gebruik.
En: A few moments later, they decided to use the portal again.

Af: Hierdie keer het hulle op die Eiffeltoring in Parys beland.
En: This time, they ended up on the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Af: Voortdurend, elke keer wanneer hulle die portaal deurgegaan het, het hulle 'n nuwe plek ontdek - van die koraalriwwe in Australië tot die sneeubedekte berge in Switserland.
En: Continuously, every time they passed through the portal, they discovered a new place - from the coral reefs in Australia to the snow-covered mountains in Switzerland.

Af: Na 'n ruk het hulle teruggekeer na Tafelberg.
En: After a while, they returned to Table Mountain.

Af: Wat 'n avontuur!
En: What an adventure!

Af: Hulle het geweet hierdie ontdekking sou die wêreld verander.
En: They knew this discovery would change the world.

Af: Met die hologramportaal kon mense oralheen reis sonder lang reise of vliegtuie.
En: With the hologram portal, people could travel anywhere without long journeys or planes.

Af: "Ons moet hierdie geheim veilig bewaar," besluit Johan.
En: "We must keep this secret safe," decided Johan.

Af: Elmarie stem saam.
En: Elmarie agreed.

Af: Hulle begin die portaal versigtig bedek, seker dat hulle die wêreldwye verandering te weeg gebring het.
En: They began to carefully cover the portal, aware that they had initiated a global change.

Af: Hulle het geweet dat mense moet gereed wees vir so 'n vonds.
En: They knew people had to be ready for such a discovery.

Af: En so het Tafelberg nie meer net 'n simbool van Kaapstad geword nie, maar 'n deurgang na die hele wêreld.
En: And so, Table Mountain was no longer just a symbol of Cape Town, but a passage to the whole world.

Af: Johan en Elmarie het 'n wonderwerk ontdek wat nuwe moontlikhede vir alle mense oopgemaak het.
En: Johan and Elmarie had discovered a miracle that opened up new possibilities for everyone.
