Story Transcript:

Lv: Sniegs klusi klājās uz loga, aizsegs pasauli no dzestruma ārpusē.
En: Snow quietly laid itself upon the window, shielding the world from the chill outside.

Lv: Elza stāvēja pie savas klases durvīm, cieši turēdama mazās actiņas gleznās Rudolfa spilgto smaidu, kurš, diemžēl, šobrīd atradās slimnīcā.
En: Elza stood by her classroom door, tightly holding in her small eyes the painting of Rudolfs's bright smile, who, unfortunately, was currently in the hospital.

Lv: Viņa zināja, ka Ziemassvētki viņam bija svarīgi.
En: She knew that Christmas was important to him.

Lv: Taču Elza baidījās no slimnīcām, to asins smarža un klusums viņu biedēja.
En: However, Elza was afraid of hospitals, their smell of blood and the silence frightened her.

Lv: Taču šoreiz viņa nevarēja likt savām bailēm uzvarēt.
En: But this time she couldn't let her fears win.

Lv: Viņa nolēma ņemt tikai dažus skolēnus un kopā kā pārsteigumu apmeklēt Rudolfu ar nelielu Ziemassvētku uzvedumu.
En: She decided to take only a few students and together visit Rudolfs as a surprise with a small Christmas performance.

Lv: Pēcpusdienā, krāsainu lampiņu laternu apgaismojumā, Elza un skolēni gatavoja slimnīcas telpu ar pašu darinātām rotājumiem.
En: In the afternoon, in the lighting of colorful lanterns, Elza and the students prepared the hospital room with self-made decorations.

Lv: Biruta, skolas direktore, smaidīja, vērojot, kā bērni uzvelk eņģeļu un ganiņu kostīmus.
En: Biruta, the school principal, smiled, watching as the children put on angel and shepherd costumes.

Lv: Elza juta, kā satraukums vāra asinis, taču bērnu smiekli, kas atbalsojas slimnīcas koridoros, maksa par viņas bailēm.
En: Elza felt excitement boil her blood, but the children's laughter echoing in the hospital corridors outweighed her fears.

Lv: Kad viņi izkārtojās ap Rudolfa gultu, viņu klusiņš „Klusa nakts, svēta nakts” sāka plūst kā maigs ziemas vējš.
En: When they arranged themselves around Rudolfs's bed, their gentle rendition of "Silent Night, Holy Night" began to flow like a gentle winter breeze.

Lv: Rudolfs, pārsteigts un aizkustināts, plaši smaidīja.
En: Rudolfs, surprised and moved, smiled widely.

Lv: Viņa acis mirdzēja, un pēc neliela brīža jau visas slimnīcas telpas piepildīja viņa līksmā balss.
En: His eyes sparkled, and after a short moment, his cheerful voice filled all the hospital rooms.

Lv: Biruta pievienojās, klusi sarunājoties ar Elzu brīdim.
En: Biruta joined in, quietly conversing with Elza for a moment.

Lv: Elzas sirds tagad bija mierīga, ēnojot savu kādreizējo baili no slimnīcām.
En: Elza's heart was now calm, overshadowing her former fear of hospitals.

Lv: Biruta pateicīgi piekurināja kopības siltumu, kas sajūta visu telpu.
En: Biruta gratefully kindled the warmth of togetherness that filled the entire room.

Lv: Virs un ap Rudolfu bērni spēlējas, neaizmirstot patiesību par Ziemassvētku brīnumiem — kopība un rūpes par otru.
En: Over and around Rudolfs, the children played, not forgetting the truth about the miracles of Christmas — community and caring for one another.

Lv: Šī pieredze viņiem visiem bija neaizmirstama.
En: This experience was unforgettable for all of them.

Lv: Un tā, ar siltu smaidu un draudzības garu, viņi atgriezās skolā.
En: And so, with warm smiles and the spirit of friendship, they returned to school.
