Story Transcript:
Af: Die biblioteek aan die universiteit was stil en donker.
En: The library at the university was quiet and dark.
Af: Lang, stoffige boeke rakke het swaar gelyk teen die grasieuse plafon.
En: Long, dusty bookshelves seemed heavy against the graceful ceiling.
Af: 'n Ysige koue lug trek deur die ou vensters.
En: An icy cold draft blew through the old windows.
Af: Elsa het haarself omvou in haar trui en het die volgende mediese handboek oopgemaak.
En: Elsa wrapped herself in her sweater and opened the next medical textbook.
Af: Sy was 'n pligsgetroue mediese student, altyd bang om 'n fout te maak.
En: She was a diligent medical student, always afraid of making a mistake.
Af: In 'n hoek van die biblioteek het Johan, met sy wilde krulle en avontuurlustige geaardheid, gesit en deur 'n dik literatuurvolume geblaai.
En: In a corner of the library, Johan sat with his wild curls and adventurous spirit, leafing through a thick literature volume.
Af: Johan was haastig en roekeloos met sy gesondheid.
En: Johan was careless and reckless with his health.
Af: Hy het sy inaseming pyp vergeet, iets wat Elsa agter gekom het na dae se waarneming.
En: He had forgotten his inhaler, something Elsa had noticed after days of observation.
Af: Elsa het na Johan gekyk, haar hande het effens gebewe.
En: Elsa looked over at Johan, her hands trembling slightly.
Af: Sy het hom stilletjies bewonder.
En: She silently admired him.
Af: Hy was dapper en vrymoedig, twee eienskappe wat sy graag by haarself wou sien.
En: He was brave and bold, two qualities she wished to see in herself.
Af: Sy het in haarself geglo, maar die vrees om 'n fout te maak, het haar gestop van optree.
En: She believed in herself, but the fear of making a mistake held her back from taking action.
Af: Skielik het Johan begin hyg vir asem.
En: Suddenly, Johan began to gasp for air.
Af: Hy het sy bors vasgehou, sy gesig was bleek.
En: He clutched his chest, his face pale.
Af: Elsa se hart het vinnig begin klop.
En: Elsa's heart started to race.
Af: Johan was besig om 'n ernstige asma aanval te kry.
En: Johan was having a severe asthma attack.
Af: Sy instink was om hulp te soek, maar sy het geweet daar is nie tyd nie.
En: Her instinct was to seek help, but she knew there was no time.
Af: Elke sekonde was belangrik.
En: Every second was crucial.
Af: Elsa het haar mediese sak oopgemaak en haar epinefrien inspuiting gevind.
En: Elsa opened her medical bag and found her epinephrine injection.
Af: "Ek moet dit doen," het sy vir haarself gesê.
En: "I must do this," she told herself.
Af: "Ek moet moedig wees.
En: "I must be brave."
Af: "Sy het na Johan gehardloop, die inspuiting in haar hand, haar vrees op die agtergrond gedruk.
En: She ran to Johan, the injection in her hand, pushing her fear to the background.
Af: Sy het Johan se arm vasgehou en die inspuiting toegedien net toe sy asemhaling erger word.
En: She held Johan's arm and administered the injection just as his breathing worsened.
Af: Haar hande het nie gebewe nie.
En: Her hands did not shake.
Af: Sy was gefokus.
En: She was focused.
Af: Na 'n paar minute het Johan se asemhaling stadigaan weer normaal geword.
En: After a few minutes, Johan's breathing slowly returned to normal.
Af: Hy het na Elsa gekyk, sy oë vol dankbaarheid.
En: He looked at Elsa, his eyes full of gratitude.
Af: "Dankie," het hy gespook om te sê.
En: "Thank you," he struggled to say.
Af: "Ek dink jy het my lewe gered.
En: "I think you saved my life."
Af: "Elsa het gesmile, haar bangheid vervang met selfvertroue.
En: Elsa smiled, her fear replaced with confidence.
Af: Sy het geweet sy kon in noodsituasies optree, dat sy werklik gereed was om 'n dokter te wees.
En: She knew she could act in emergencies, that she was truly ready to be a doctor.
Af: Daardie wintersdag in die stil biblioteek, het Elsa se vrees verdwyn.
En: That winter day in the quiet library, Elsa's fear vanished.
Af: Sy het gegroei in haar vermoë en haarself bewys.
En: She had grown in her capability and proved herself.
Af: Sy het besef dat moed nie die afwesigheid van vrees is nie, maar die oorwinning daarvan.
En: She realized that courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.
Af: En terwyl die ysige wind deur die oudste vensters gekruip het, het Elsa daar gesit, met 'n nuwe gloei van selfvertroue.
En: And as the icy wind crept through the ancient windows, Elsa sat there with a new glow of self-confidence.
Af: Johan het 'n avontuur beleef wat hy nooit sou vergeet nie, dankie aan die moed van 'n toekomstige dokter.
En: Johan had experienced an adventure he would never forget, thanks to the courage of a future doctor.
