Onder die helder blou lug van Kaapstad, het Jan, Annelize en Pieter by Tafelberg vergader.

Under the clear blue sky of Cape Town, Jan, Annelize, and Pieter gathered at Table Mountain.

Die son het warm geskyn en 'n sagte briesie het gewaai.

The sun was shining warmly, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

Hulle was opgewonde vir 'n lekker familie braai.

They were excited for a nice family barbecue.

Jan het die vleis en hout gebring.

Jan brought the meat and wood.

Annelize het die slaai en broodjies gepak.

Annelize packed the salad and rolls.

Pieter het die koeldrank en piekniekmat saamgebring.

Pieter brought the cold drinks and picnic blanket.

Hulle het 'n mooi plekkie gekies om die braaivleis aan te steek.

They chose a nice spot to light the barbecue.

Jan het die vuur gemaak.

Jan made the fire.

Hy het die hout aangesteek en die kole rooiwarm geword.

He lit the wood, and the coals became red-hot.

Annelize het die slaai op die tafel gesit.

Annelize put the salad on the table.

Pieter het die koeldrank uitgehaal en die glase vol gemaak.

Pieter took out the cold drinks and filled the glasses.

Die geur van die braaivleis het die lug gevul.

The aroma of the barbecue filled the air.

Jan het die tjops en wors op die rooster gesit.

Jan placed the chops and sausages on the grill.

Hy het seker gemaak dat alles perfek gaar word.

He made sure everything was perfectly cooked.

Intussen het Annelize vir Pieter van haar dag by die werk vertel.

Meanwhile, Annelize told Pieter about her day at work.

Hulle het gelag en grappe gemaak.

They laughed and made jokes.

Skielik sien Annelize rook in die verte.

Suddenly, Annelize saw smoke in the distance.

Sy het bekommerd geraak.

She became worried.

“Jan, kyk daar! Brand dit nie?” vra sy.

'Jan, look over there! Isn't that a fire?' she asked.

Jan het rondgekyk.

Jan looked around.

“Ja, dit lyk soos 'n brand. Ons moet versigtig wees,” sê hy.

'Yes, it looks like a fire. We need to be careful,' he said.

Pieter het vinnig sy selfoon uitgehaal.

Pieter quickly took out his cellphone.

Hy het die brandweer gebel.

He called the fire department.

“Ons moet die vuur beheer. Kom ons gooi water op die kole,” sê hy.

'We need to control the fire. Let's pour water on the coals,' he said.

Jan het sy waterbottel gegryp en oor die kole gegooi.

Jan grabbed his water bottle and poured it over the coals.

Die rook het minder geword.

The smoke lessened.

Hulle het geweet die brandweer was op pad, maar hulle moes kalm bly.

They knew the fire department was on the way, but they had to stay calm.

Nadat die gevaar verby was, het hulle almal ontspan.

After the danger passed, they all relaxed.

Hulle het verder gebraai en die ete geniet.

They continued to barbecue and enjoyed the meal.

Die kos was heerlik.

The food was delicious.

Hulle het gesels oor ou herinneringe en saam gelag.

They talked about old memories and laughed together.

Voor die son gesak het, het hulle hul goed ingepak.

Before the sun set, they packed up their things.

Hulle het die plek opgeruim en seker gemaak daar is geen kole of vuilgoed oor nie.

They cleaned up the area and made sure there were no coals or trash left behind.

Die lug was koel en die sterre het begin uitkom.

The air was cool, and the stars started to appear.

“Dit was 'n dag om te onthou,” sê Annelize.

'This was a day to remember,' said Annelize.

“Ons het regtig 'n avontuur gehad.”

'We really had an adventure.'

Pieter glimlag.

Pieter smiled.

“Ja, maar ons het dit saam deurmaak. Familie is belangrik.”

'Yes, but we went through it together. Family is important.'

Jan het sy arm om hulle gesit.

Jan put his arm around them.

“Ek stem saam. Solank ons mekaar het, kan ons enige iets hanteer.”

'I agree. As long as we have each other, we can handle anything.'

En so het Jan, Annelize en Pieter hulle reis terug begin, met 'n hart vol liefde en 'n dag vol herinneringe.

And so Jan, Annelize, and Pieter began their journey back, with hearts full of love and a day full of memories.
