Silas bija biezs un zaļš.

The forest was thick and green.

Koku zari veidoja tīklojumu virs galvām, pasargājot no saules stariem.

The tree branches formed a canopy overhead, protecting from the sun's rays.

Mazs celiņš veda cauri meža dziļumiem uz tirgu, kas atradās meža malā.

A small path led through the depths of the forest to the market at its edge.

Tirgus bija pilns ar cilvēkiem, kas meklēja zāles un ziedus priekš Lughnasadh svētkiem.

The market was full of people looking for herbs and flowers for the Lughnasadh festival.

Agnese un viņas brālis Jānis soļoja pa meža taku.

Agnese and her brother Jānis walked along the forest path.

Agnese bija prasmīga zāļu vāktāja.

Agnese was a skilled herbalist.

Viņa meklēja reto augu - Circaea lutetiana, kas zied tikai šajā laikā.

She was searching for the rare plant - Circaea lutetiana, which only blooms at this time.

Jānis, viņas skeptiskais brālis, bija mazāk ieinteresēts.

Jānis, her skeptical brother, was less interested.

Viņa domas bija par gaidāmo dzimšanas dienu.

His thoughts were on the upcoming birthday.

"Tev vajadzētu man palīdzēt," Agnese teica.

"You should help me," Agnese said.

"Šis augs ir izšķirošs svētku dzērienam.

"This plant is crucial for the festival drink."

""Es saprotu, bet mēs meklējam visu dienu," Jānis atbildēja.

"I understand, but we've been searching all day," Jānis replied.

"Vai nevaram to atstāt uz citu laiku?

"Can't we leave it for another time?"

""Cita laika nebūs.

"There won't be another time.

Tas zied tikai tagad, Lughnasadh laikā," Agnese paskaidroja.

It only blooms now, during Lughnasadh," Agnese explained.

Viņi turpināja ceļu, bet ar katru soli Jāņa pacietība saruka.

They continued walking, but with each step, Jānis's patience dwindled.

Kad viņi nonāca pie dakšas ceļā, Agnese izvēlējās grūto taku, kas veda dziļāk mežā.

When they came to a fork in the road, Agnese chose the difficult path that led deeper into the forest.

"Mēs varētu vienkārši doties atpakaļ uz tirgu," Jānis piedāvāja.

"We could just go back to the market," Jānis suggested.

"Nē, mums jādodas dziļumi līdz to atradīsim," Agnese stingri atbildēja.

"No, we must go deeper until we find it," Agnese replied firmly.

Jānis nopūtās, bet sekoja māsai.

Jānis sighed but followed his sister.

Mežs kļuva arvien biezāks un tumšāks.

The forest grew denser and darker.

Viņi gāja vēl ilgi, kamēr pēkšņi priekšā parādījās mazā pļava.

They walked for a long time until suddenly a small clearing appeared ahead.

Vidū auga tas, ko meklēja - Circaea lutetiana.

In the middle grew what they were looking for - Circaea lutetiana.

"Tur tas ir!

"There it is!"

" Agnese priecīgi iesaucās.

Agnese exclaimed joyfully.

Taču, kad viņi tuvojās, dzirdami skaļi rūcieni.

However, as they approached, loud growls were heard.

No ēnām iznāca liels, dusmīgs meža zvērs.

A large, angry forest beast emerged from the shadows.

Tas bija sargs auga.

It was the guardian of the plant.

"Ko darīsim?

"What are we going to do?"

" Jānis nobijies iesaucās.

Jānis exclaimed, scared.

Viņš gribēja bēgt, bet Agnese nekustējās.

He wanted to run, but Agnese did not move.

Viņa zināja, ja neatlaidīsies, herb neizglābs.

She knew that if they backed out, the herb wouldn't be saved.

"Mums jāstrādā kopā," viņa teica.

"We have to work together," she said.

"Es novērsīšu viņa uzmanību, tu paņemsi augu.

"I'll distract it, you grab the plant."

"Jānis negribīgi piekrita.

Jānis reluctantly agreed.

Agnese izkustināja zaru, lai sargu novērstu.

Agnese rustled a branch to divert the guardian.

Kad zvērs pagriezās, Jānis metās pie auga un liks to kabatā.

When the beast turned, Jānis dashed to the plant and put it in his pocket.

Pēc tam viņi ātri atkāpās atpakaļ uz celiņu, kur neviens zvērs neieradās.

Then they quickly retreated back to the path, where no beast appeared.

"Mēs izdarījām to!

"We did it!"

" Agnese pasmaidīja.

Agnese smiled.

Tirgus bija tuvu, un viņi steidzās uz turieni.

The market was near, and they hurried there.

Agnese bija priecīga, ka atrada reto augu.

Agnese was happy to have found the rare plant.

"Es tagad saprotu, cik svarīgas ir šīs dziednieciskās zāles," Jānis teica.

"I now understand how important these medicinal herbs are," Jānis said.

"Tas bija pašas un nacionālās tradīcijas labā.

"It was for both personal and national tradition."

"Pie tirgus viņi nonāca laikā.

They arrived at the market in time.

Gatavošanās svētkam bija pilnā sparā.

Preparations for the festival were in full swing.

Abi ņēmās strādāt līdz tam, lai viss būtu kārtībā.

Both set to work to get everything in order.

Jānis atrada jaunu cieņu pret māsas darbu un no sirds iesaistījās.

Jānis found new respect for his sister’s work and wholeheartedly participated.

Līdz ar tumsas iestāšanos, svētki sākās un dzēriens gatavs.

As darkness fell, the festival began, and the drink was ready.

Satraukti cilvēki pulcējās svinēt.

Excited people gathered to celebrate.

Agnese un Jānis piedalījās svētkos, sajūsmināti par savu piedzīvojumu un jaunu izpratni viens par otru.

Agnese and Jānis joined the festivities, delighted by their adventure and newfound understanding of each other.

Un, neskatoties uz Jāņa sākotnējo nevēlēšanos, viņš sajuta patieso prieku svinot un godājot tradīcijas.

Despite Jānis's initial reluctance, he felt true joy in celebrating and honoring traditions.

Viņi bija mājās un drošībā, svētki turpinājās, un lugnasadže diena bija beigām.

They were home and safe, the festivities continued, and Lughnasadh came to an end.

Jānis guva cieņu pret māsas darbu, un Agnese bija pateicīga par brāļa palīdzību.

Jānis gained respect for his sister's work, and Agnese was grateful for her brother's help.

Ar saules gaismu, kas slīdēja pa koku galiem, naktī plauka jaunas brāļu un māsu saites.

With the sunlight filtering through the treetops, new bonds blossomed between the siblings.
