Story Transcript:
Af: Die son se lig skeur deur die gebreekte vensters van 'n verlate pakhuis.
En: The sun's light slices through the broken windows of a deserted warehouse.
Af: Dit is lente.
En: It is spring.
Af: Die lug is soet, maar die reuk van roes en oudheid vul die ruimte.
En: The air is sweet, but the smell of rust and antiquity fills the space.
Af: Pieter staan aan die ingang, sy hart klop van opwinding en 'n tikkie angs.
En: Pieter stands at the entrance, his heart beating with excitement and a touch of anxiety.
Af: Langs hom is sy vriende, Anika en Johan.
En: Next to him are his friends, Anika and Johan.
Af: Hulle het gehoor van ‘n verlore artefak wat lig kan werp op 'n ou kultuur.
En: They have heard of a lost artifact that can shed light on an ancient culture.
Af: Dit is die perfekte storie vir Erfenisdag.
En: It is the perfect story for Heritage Day.
Af: Pieter hou 'n ou kaart vas.
En: Pieter holds an old map.
Af: Hy het dit in sy oupa se solder gevind.
En: He found it in his grandfather's attic.
Af: Die kaart lei hom na hierdie plek.
En: The map leads him to this place.
Af: "Ons moet versigtig wees," sê hy, sy stem is ferm maar opgewonde.
En: "We must be careful," he says, his voice firm but excited.
Af: Hulle stap versigtig in, oor die vloer vol wrakke en vergete voorwerpe.
En: They cautiously walk in, over the floor littered with debris and forgotten objects.
Af: "Dít is 'n avontuur, dink jy nie?
En: "This is an adventure, don't you think?"
Af: " vra Anika, haar oë is groot van verwagting.
En: asks Anika, her eyes wide with anticipation.
Af: "Ja, maar ons moet versigtig wees," moed Johan aan, terwyl hy na 'n instortende balk kyk.
En: "Yes, but we must be careful," warns Johan, while looking at a collapsing beam.
Af: Die pakhuis is gevaarlik.
En: The warehouse is dangerous.
Af: Kruisbeams lê geknak, asof die plek te veel van sy eie geheime dra.
En: Crossbeams lie snapped, as if the place bears too many of its own secrets.
Af: Hulle vorder stadig, elke stap is ‘n aksie van waagmoed.
En: They progress slowly, each step is an act of bravery.
Af: Skielik hoor Pieter 'n kraak bokant hom.
En: Suddenly, Pieter hears a creak above him.
Af: Hy spring net betyds weg toe die balke bo hom in duie stort.
En: He jumps away just in time as the beams above him crumble.
Af: "Pasop!
En: "Watch out!"
Af: " roep hy, die stof dans in die lig soos fyn konfytiestukkies.
En: he shouts, the dust dancing in the light like fine pieces of confetti.
Af: Anika en Johan hardloop na hom toe.
En: Anika and Johan run to him.
Af: Nadat hulle weer asem geskep het, kyk hulle verder, gelyk verstom en vasberade.
En: After catching their breath, they look further, equally astonished and determined.
Af: Pieter volg die lyne van die kaart, wat lui dat daar ‘n geheime kompartement is.
En: Pieter follows the lines of the map, which indicates that there is a secret compartment.
Af: Met skielike hoop, gaan hulle na die noordelike hoek.
En: With sudden hope, they head to the northern corner.
Af: Pieter begin die muur aftas.
En: Pieter begins to feel along the wall.
Af: Sy vingers skuur oor 'n sinkplaat en hy luister instinktief vir 'n hol klank.
En: His fingers sk
