Af: Maar toe hy die boksie oopmaak, sien hy 'n probleem.
En: But when he opens the box, he sees a problem.
Af: Die vuurhoutjies is almal nat!
En: The matches are all wet!
Af: Hendrik voel die paniek opkom.
En: Hendrik feels panic rising.
Af: Sonder 'n brandende vuur is daar geen braai nie.
En: Without a burning fire, there is no barbecue.
Af: Hy soek rond, maar kan niks droog kry nie.
En: He searches around but can't find anything dry.

En: She is sitting under a large tree reading a book.
Af: Janine is 'n vegetariër en sy het altyd 'n aansteker vir haar kerse.

Af: "Hallo Hendrik, wat maak jy?
En: "Hello Hendrik, what are you doing?"
Af: ""Ek het 'n probleem.
En: "I have a problem.
Af: My vuurhoutjies is nat.
En: My matches are wet.
Af: Kan ek asseblief jou aansteker leen?
En: Can I please borrow your lighter?"
Af: " vra Hendrik hoopvol.
En: Hendrik asks hopefully.
Af: Janine se gesig verander.
En: Janine's face changes.
Af: Sy lyk onseker.
En: She looks unsure.
Af: "Ek weet nie, Hendrik.
En: "I don't know, Hendrik.
Af: Ek ondersteun nie braaie met vleis nie.
En: I don’t support barbecues with meat."
Af: "Hendrik probeer verduidelik.
En: Hendrik tries to explain.
Af: "Ek verstaan, maar ek het al die mense genooi.
En: "I understand, but I’ve invited all these people.
Af: Hulle kom al die pad.
En: They’re coming from far away.
Af: Dit sal regtig help.
En: It would really help."
Af: "Janine dink 'n oomblik.
En: Janine thinks for a moment.
Af: Sy sit haar boek neer.
En: She puts her book down.
Af: "Ek wil nie vleisbraaie aanmoedig nie, maar miskien kan ons 'n kompromie vind?
En: "I don’t want to encourage meat barbecues, but maybe we can find a compromise?"
Af: "Hendrik vra, "Hoe bedoel jy?
En: Hendrik asks, "How do you mean?"
Af: "Janine glimlag, "Wat van 'n gemengde braai?
En: Janine smiles, "How about a mixed barbecue?
Af: Groente en vleis.
En: Vegetables and meat.
Af: Ek help jou met die vuur en jy maak 'n paar geregte sonder vleis.
En: I'll help you with the fire, and you make some dishes without meat."
Af: "Hendrik oorweeg dit.
En: Hendrik considers it.
Af: "Dit klink regverdig.
En: "That sounds fair.
Af: Ek hou van groente ook.
En: I like vegetables too."
