Story Transcript:
Lv: Vasara bija klāt ar saulainām dienām un putnu čivināšanu, bet Jānis nebija priecīgs.
En: Summer had arrived with sunny days and the chirping of birds, but Jānis was not happy.
Lv: Viņš staigāja pa ielu un domāja par Daci. Viņa klasesbiedreni, kura bija slimnīcā.
En: He walked down the street thinking about Dace, his classmate who was in the hospital.
Lv: Dace bija laipna un draudzīga, vienmēr uzjautrināja Jāni, kad viņš bija noskumis.
En: Dace was kind and friendly, always cheered Jānis up when he was feeling down.
Lv: Bet tagad viņai pašai bija vajadzīga palīdzība.
En: But now she needed help herself.
Lv: Jānis nevēlējās iet uz slimnīcu.
En: Jānis didn't want to go to the hospital.
Lv: Viņu biedēja baltais koridors un medicīnas iekārtu skaņas.
En: He was afraid of the white corridors and the sounds of medical equipment.
Lv: Domas par slimnīcas smaržu lika viņam sarauties.
En: The thought of the hospital smell made him cringe.
Lv: Taču viņš zināja, ka jāpasaka Dacei, ka viņai ir draugi.
En: However, he knew he had to tell Dace that she had friends.
Lv: Dacei nebija jābūt vienai viņas istabā starp sienām, kas smaržoja pēc dezinfekcijas līdzekļiem.
En: Dace didn't need to be alone in her room surrounded by walls that smelled of disinfectants.
Lv: Jānis devās uz parku, kur viņš bieži satikās ar Zani un Daci.
En: Jānis headed to the park where he often met with Zane and Dace.
Lv: Parka solā sēdēja Zane, lasot grāmatu.
En: On a park bench sat Zane, reading a book.
Lv: Drosmīgā, runīgā Zane bija kontrasts klusajam, pārdomu pilnajam Jānim.
En: The brave, talkative Zane was a contrast to the quiet, contemplative Jānis.
Lv: Viņš nopūtās un piegāja pie viņas.
En: He sighed and approached her.
Lv: "Zane," Jānis sacīja, nedaudz nervozi.
En: "Zane," Jānis said a bit nervously.
Lv: "Es gribētu apciemot Daci, bet es nezinu, kā to izdarīt."
En: "I would like to visit Dace, but I don't know how to do it."
Lv: Zane nolika grāmatu maliņā un smaidīja.
En: Zane put her book aside and smiled.
Lv: "Mēs varam aiziet kopā. Es tev palīdzēšu," viņa piedāvāja.
En: "We can go together. I'll help you," she offered.
Lv: Jānis jūtās atvieglots.
En: Jānis felt relieved.
Lv: Zinot, ka Zane būs blakus, viņš juta mazāku trīci savās rokās.
En: Knowing that Zane would be by his side, he felt less of a tremor in his hands.
Lv: Nākamajā dienā Jānis un Zane devās uz slimnīcu.
En: The next day, Jānis and Zane went to the hospital.
Lv: Saules gaisma staroja cauri lielajiem logiem, padarot garos gaiteņus gaišākus.
En: Sunlight shone through the large windows, making the long corridors brighter.
Lv: Jānis dziļi elpoja, kamēr Zane viņu motivēja ar dažādiem jautājumiem un jokiem.
En: Jānis breathed deeply while Zane motivated him with various questions and jokes.
Lv: Viņa runāja tik daudz, ka Jāņa domas par slimnīcas baiļu pazuda.
En: She talked so much that Jānis's fears about the hospital vanished.
Lv: Beidzot viņi nonāca pie palātas, kurā gulēja Dace.
En: Finally, they arrived at the room where Dace was lying.
Lv: Jānis skatījās uz durvīm, dziļi ievelkot elpu, un tad brīdi vēlāk abi kopā iegāja iekšā.
En: Jānis looked at the door, took a deep breath, and a moment later, they both went inside together.
Lv:
