Story Transcript:

Af: In die hart van die bosveld, waar die son warm op die rug brand en die diere wild en vry rondbeweeg, was daar 'n opwinding in die lug.
En: In the heart of the bushveld, where the sun beats warmly on the back and the animals move around wild and free, there was an excitement in the air.

Af: Jan en Pieter, twee jong vriende, het besluit om 'n dag van avontuur in die Krugerwildtuin te geniet.
En: Jan and Pieter, two young friends, decided to enjoy a day of adventure in the Kruger National Park.

Af: Saam met hulle was Liese, Pieter se suster, wat altyd 'n glimlag op haar gesig gehad het en gereed was vir 'n avontuur.
En: Along with them was Liese, Pieter's sister, who always had a smile on her face and was ready for an adventure.

Af: Terwyl hulle in die park rondgery het, het hulle al die wonderlike diere gesien — olifante wat in die modder bad, leeus wat onder die bome lê, en kameelperde wat saggies aan die boomtoppe smul.
En: As they drove around the park, they saw all the wonderful animals — elephants bathing in the mud, lions lounging under the trees, and giraffes delicately eating from the treetops.

Af: Uiteindelik het hulle by 'n rustige piekniekplek aangekom waar hulle besluit het om midderete te geniet.
En: Eventually, they arrived at a peaceful picnic spot where they decided to have lunch.

Af: Jan het die kombers oopgevou en plat op die grond neergesit.
En: Jan unfolded the blanket and laid it flat on the ground.

Af: Pieter en Liese het die piekniekmandjie oopgemaak en broodjies, vrugte, en koeldrank uitgepak.
En: Pieter and Liese opened the picnic basket and unpacked sandwiches, fruit, and cold drinks.

Af: Terwyl hulle gelag en gesels het, het iets skielik van die boomtakke af gegluur.
En: While they laughed and chatted, something suddenly peeped out from the branches.

Af: 'n Klein, stoutgat aap was net bo hulle koppe, met 'n ondeunde glinster in sy oë.
En: A small, mischievous monkey was just above their heads, with a mischievous glint in its eyes.

Af: Terwyl Jan 'n groot hap van sy broodjie geneem het, het die aap vinnig afgespring en reguit vir hulle kos gemik.
En: As Jan took a big bite of his sandwich, the monkey quickly leaped down and aimed straight for their food.

Af: "Pas op!
En: "Watch out!"

Af: " het Liese uitgeroep, maar dit was te laat.
En: exclaimed Liese, but it was too late.

Af: Die aap het een van die broodjies gegryp en het op die naaste boomtak gevlug.
En: The monkey grabbed one of the sandwiches and fled to the nearest tree branch.

Af: Jan en Pieter het opgespring en die aap agternagesit, hopende om hulle middagete terug te kry.
En: Jan and Pieter jumped up and chased after the monkey, hoping to get their lunch back.

Af: Maar die aap was vinnig en slinks en het gedurig heen en weer tussen die takke beweeg.
En: But the monkey was quick and cunning, moving back and forth between the branches.

Af: Met elke sprong het die aap 'n slim grynslag op sy gesig gehad, asof hy hulle uitdaag om hom te vang.
En: With every leap, the monkey had a sly grin on its face, as if challenging them to catch him.

Af: Jan het sy vuis geskud en gesê, "Bly nie staan nie, Pieter!
En: Jan shook his fist and said, "Don't just stand there, Pieter!

Af: Ons kan hom kry!
En: We can catch him!"

Af: " Maar Pieter het bevrees begin kyk, want 'n aap vang in die wildtuin was nie iets waarvoor hy voorbereid was nie.
En: But Pieter began to look fearful, as catching a monkey in the wildlife park was not something he was prepared for.

Af: Intussen het Liese 'n plan begin uitdink.
En: Meanwhile, Liese started to devise a plan.

Af: Sy het rustig deur hulle piekniekmandjie gesoek en 'n tros druiwe uitgehaal.
En: She calmly searched through their picnic basket and pulled out a bunch of grapes.

Af: Met 'n kalme en geslepe houding het sy die druiwe mooi sigbaar uitgesprei en weggestap, sodat die aap hulle kon sien.
En: With a calm and cunning demeanor, she laid out the grapes conspicuously and stepped back so the monkey could see them.

Af: Die aap se nuuskierigheid het die oorhand gekry en hy het vinniger na die druiwe as na die broodjie gekyk.
En: The monkey's curiosity got the better of him, and he looked faster at the grapes than at the sandwich.

Af: Met een vinnige beweging het die aap die broodjie neergesit en na die druiwe gespring.
En: With one quick motion, the monkey dropped the sandwich and leaped for the grapes.

Af: Liese het lag-lag na die ouens teruggedraai en gesê, "Sien, dit is hoe jy 'n aap uitoorlê.
En: Liese turned back to the guys with a laugh and said, "See, this is how you outsmart a monkey."

Af: " Jan en Pieter het verlig asem gehaal en saam met Liese teruggekeer na hulle piekniekplek, waar hulle uiteindelik hulle middagete kon geniet terwyl hulle die stout aap dophou, hy nou besig was om Liese se slim lokval van druiwe te geniet.
En: Jan and Pieter breathed a sigh of relief and returned with Liese to their picnic spot, where they could finally enjoy their lunch while keeping an eye on the mischievous monkey, now busy enjoying Liese's clever lure of grapes.

Af: Die dag het geëindig met 'n pragtige sonsondergang, terwyl die drie vriende langs mekaar gesit en praat het oor hulle dag se avonture.
En: The day ended with a beautiful sunset, as the three friends sat next to each other and talked about their day's adventures.

Af: Hulle het gelag oor die stout aap, die vriendskap gevier, en beloof om nooit die dag te vergeet toe hulle deur 'n aap in die Krugerwildtuin gejag is nie.
En: They laughed about the mischievous monkey, celebrated their friendship, and promised to never forget the day they were chased by a monkey in the Kruger National Park.
