Story Transcript:
Af: Op 'n sonskyn Saterdagoggend, in 'n knus klein dorpie, het Pieter wakker geword met 'n lang lys van goed wat hy moes doen.
En: On a sunny Saturday morning, in a cozy little town, Pieter woke up with a long list of things he needed to do.
Af: Die huis was stil, net die geluid van voëls wat buite sing het deur die oop venster gekom.
En: The house was quiet, only the sound of birds singing outside came through the open window.
Af: Pieter het vinnig 'n koppie koffie gemaak en sy lys bekyk.
En: Pieter quickly made a cup of coffee and looked at his list.
Af: Bo aan die lys was: "Koop kruideniersware".
En: At the top of the list was: "Buy groceries".
Af: Almal ken Pieter as die ou wat soms 'n bietjie verstrooi is.
En: Everyone knows Pieter as the guy who can be a bit absent-minded at times.
Af: Vandag was geen uitsondering nie.
En: Today was no exception.
Af: Hy het sy gemaklike T-hemp en sokkies aangetrek, sy lys geneem en sy sleutels gegryp.
En: He put on his comfortable T-shirt and socks, grabbed his list, and his keys.
Af: Opgewonde oor die heerlike ontbyt wat hy later sou maak, het hy by die voordeur uitgestap en die pad supermark toe begin stap.
En: Excited about the delicious breakfast he would make later, he stepped out the front door and started walking to the supermarket.
Af: Die son het helder geskyn en Pieter het gegroet vir die bure wat hy op sy weg raakgeloop het.
En: The sun was shining brightly, and Pieter greeted the neighbors he met on his way.
Af: Hy het die vars lug ingeasem en gedink oor wat hy alles nodig het van die supermark.
En: He breathed in the fresh air and thought about everything he needed from the supermarket.
Af: Toe hy by die supermark se deure inloop, het 'n paar mense hom snaaks aangekyk.
En: When he walked through the supermarket doors, a few people looked at him strangely.
Af: Pieter, heeltemal onbewus, het reggemaak vir die vrugteafdeling.
En: Completely unaware, Pieter went straight to the fruit section.
Af: Maar net toe hy sy eerste appel wou optel, het 'n klein stemmetjie agter hom gesê, "Oom, waar is jou broek?
En: But just as he was about to pick up his first apple, a little voice behind him said, "Uncle, where are your pants?"
Af: " Pieter het na onder gekyk en tot sy skok gesien dat hy in die haas van die oggend sy broek heeltemal vergeet het!
En: Pieter looked down and to his shock, realized that in the rush of the morning, he had completely forgotten his pants!
Af: Hy het bloos van kop tot tone en het vinnig 'n sak aartappels geneem om voor hom te hou.
En: He blushed from head to toe and quickly grabbed a bag of potatoes to hold in front of him.
Af: Intussen het Johanna, Pieter se suster wat om die hoek gewoon het, agtergekom dat Pieter se broek nog op die waslyn hang.
En: Meanwhile, Johanna, Pieter's sister who lived around the corner, noticed that Pieter's pants were still hanging on the clothesline.
Af: "Ag nee, Pieter het dalk sy broek vergeet!
En: "Oh no, Pieter might have forgotten his pants!"
Af: " het sy gesê met 'n glimlag.
En: she said with a smile.
Af: Sy het geweet van Pieter se gewoonte om dinge te vergeet.
En: She knew about Pieter's habit of forgetting things.
Af: Sy het die broek geneem en vinnig na die supermark gehaas om haar broer te help.
En: She grabbed the pants and hurried to the supermarket to help her brother.
Af: Terug by die supermark het mense begin fluister en lag.
En: Back at the supermarket, people started whispering and laughing.
Af: Pieter het probeer om te lag oor die hele situasie, maar hy was tog 'n bietjie verleë.
En: Pieter tried to laugh off the whole situation, but he was a bit embarrassed.
Af: Gelukkig het Johanna net betyds daar aangekom met sy broek.
En: Fortunately, Johanna arrived just in time with his pants.
Af: "Pieter, jy het dit weer gedoen!
En: "Pieter, you've done it again!"
Af: " het sy gelag terwyl sy hom die broek aangee.
En: she laughed as she handed him the pants.
Af: Pieter het skielik verlig gevoel en het gou in die badkamer gespring om sy broek aan te trek.
En: Pieter suddenly felt relieved and quickly jumped into the bathroom to put on his pants.
Af: Na die broek insident het die mense in die dorp nog lankal daaroor gegiggel, maar vir Pieter, het dit net 'n snaakse verhaal geword wat hy op familiebyeenkomste kon vertel.
En: After the pants incident, people in the town continued to giggle about it for a long time, but for Pieter, it just became a funny story he could tell at family gatherings.
Af: Ten einde laaste het die dag goed afgeloop.
En: In the end, the day turned out well.
Af: Pieter het met sy kruideniersware en sy waardigheid huis toe gegaan.
En: Pieter went home with his groceries and his dignity.
Af: Van daardie dag af het hy egter altyd twee keer nagegaan voordat hy die huis verlaat het.
En: However, from that day on, he always double-checked before leaving the house.
Af: En Johanna?
En: And Johanna?
Af: Wel, sy het seker gemaak dat sy 'n ekstra paar broek altyd byderhand gehad het net vir ingeval Pieter weer 'n klein vergeet het.
En: Well, she made sure to always have an extra pair of pants on hand just in case Pieter forgot again.
