Langs die helder water van die Kaapse Waterfront, onder die warm son, is drie vriende. Annelize, Hendrik en Marlene.

Along the clear waters of the Cape Waterfront, under the warm sun, are three friends: Annelize, Hendrik, and Marlene.

Hulle het besluit om 'n somersdag te geniet met 'n lang stap.

They decided to enjoy a summer's day with a long walk.

Hulle het vroeg die oggend begin. Hulle was nuuskierig oor die kus se skoonheid.

They started early in the morning, curious about the beauty of the coast.

Die pad was lank, en die son het sterk geskyn.

The path was long, and the sun shone brightly.

Hulle het lekker gesels en om die beurt grappies vertel.

They chatted pleasantly, taking turns telling jokes.

Almal was gelukkig en opgewonde oor die dag.

Everyone was happy and excited about the day.

Na ure se stap, begin Annelize haar dors voel.

After hours of walking, Annelize begins to feel thirsty.

Sy sê vir haar vriende: "Ek is baie dors. Ons moet water kry."

She tells her friends, "I am very thirsty. We need to find water."

Marlene voel ook moeg.

Marlene also feels tired.

Hendrik, die sterkste van die drie, glimlag steeds, maar jy kan sien hy raak ook moeg.

Hendrik, the strongest of the three, still smiles, but you can see he is also getting tired.

Hulle stop langs 'n boom.

They stop by a tree.

Die boom bied 'n bietjie skaduwee.

The tree offers a bit of shade.

Marlene sit met 'n sug op die gras.

Marlene sits on the grass with a sigh.

"Ek het water nodig," sê sy sag.

"I need water," she says softly.

Hendrik soek in sy rugsak vir water, maar daar is niks meer oor nie.

Hendrik searches his backpack for water, but there’s nothing left.

Annelize staan op en sê: "Kom ons probeer die kafee daar anderkant die straat."

Annelize stands up and says, "Let's try the café across the street."

Hulle stap saam oor die pad.

They walk together across the road.

Binne die kafee, is dit lekker koel.

Inside the café, it's pleasantly cool.

Hulle koop bottels koue water en sit aan 'n tafel neer.

They buy bottles of cold water and sit down at a table.

Hulle voel dadelik beter.

They immediately feel better.

Die yskoue water verfris hulle.

The ice-cold water refreshes them.

Hulle geniet nog 'n rukkie in die kafee om seker te maak hulle is heeltemal gehidreer.

They enjoy a bit more time in the café to make sure they are fully hydrated.

Annelize noem: "Dit was 'n wonderlike stap, maar volgende keer neem ons meer water saam."

Annelize mentions, "It was a wonderful walk, but next time we should bring more water."

Hendrik knik instemmend en Marlene lag.

Hendrik nods in agreement, and Marlene laughs.

Sy sê: "Ja, ek stem saam. Maar ek het dit baie geniet."

She says, "Yes, I agree. But I really enjoyed it."

Hulle maak hulle dag klaar met 'n heerlike ete by 'n restaurant langs die water.

They end their day with a delicious meal at a restaurant by the water.

Terwyl die son stadig ondergaan, besef hulle die waarde van voorbereiding en die eenvoudige genot van 'n glas koue water.

As the sun slowly sets, they realize the value of preparation and the simple pleasure of a glass of cold water.

En so eindig die dag, 'n dag van avontuur en lesse geleer, met vriende wat nog nader aan mekaar gegroei het.

And so the day ends—a day of adventure and lessons learned, with friends growing even closer to one another.
