Story Transcript:

Af: Die son skyn helder oor die Boplaas Gated Community.
En: The sun shines brightly over the Boplaas Gated Community.

Af: Kersfees is reg om die draai, en die strate is vrolik versier met kleurvolle liggies.
En: Christmas is just around the corner, and the streets are cheerfully decorated with colorful lights.

Af: Die warm somerbriesie laat die palmbome sag ritsel.
En: The warm summer breeze gently rustles the palm trees.

Af: Kinders speel buite en almal is besig om gereed te maak vir die groot Kerspartytjie in die buurt.
En: Children play outside, and everyone is busy getting ready for the big Christmas party in the neighborhood.

Af: Jannie, die bobaas bakker van Boplaas, staan met 'n groot dilemma.
En: Jannie, the master baker of Boplaas, faces a big dilemma.

Af: Hy het per ongeluk die groot koek geëet wat bedoel was vir die Kerspartytjie.
En: He accidentally ate the large cake that was meant for the Christmas party.

Af: Nou moes hy stil-stil 'n nuwe reusekoek by Sannie se huis aflewer, omdat sy altyd sulke lekker koek maak.
En: Now he must quietly deliver a new giant cake from Sannie's house, since she always makes such delicious cakes.

Af: Maar daar is 'n probleem.
En: But there's a problem.

Af: Piet, die altyd-waaksame sekuriteitswag, is op die uitkyk vir die geheimsinnige koekdief.
En: Piet, the ever-watchful security guard, is on the lookout for the mysterious cake thief.

Af: Jannie het 'n plan, 'n plan so geniaal soos dit stout is.
En: Jannie has a plan, a plan as ingenious as it is daring.

Af: Hy gaan homself as Kersvader vermom.
En: He is going to disguise himself as Santa Claus.

Af: Wie sou ooit Kersvader verdink?
En: Who would ever suspect Santa Claus?

Af: Jannie sit 'n rooi Kersvaderpak aan, prop 'n kussing in vir 'n ronder maag en trek die wit baard oor sy gesig.
En: Jannie puts on a red Santa suit, stuffs a pillow in for a rounder belly, and pulls the white beard over his face.

Af: Met die reusekoek in sy arms, stap hy doelgerig in die rigting van Sannie se huis.
En: With the giant cake in his arms, he walks purposefully toward Sannie's house.

Af: Onderweg moet hy verby die sekuriteitspos loop.
En: Along the way, he has to pass by the security post.

Af: Piet sit daar, kywend en op sy hoede.
En: Piet sits there, watchful and alert.

Af: Toe Jannie nader kom, begin Piet hom fyn dophou.
En: As Jannie approaches, Piet begins to scrutinize him closely.

Af: Jannie glimlag breed onder sy baard en begin Kersliedjies sing.
En: Jannie smiles broadly under his beard and starts singing Christmas carols.

Af: "Stille Nag, Heilige Nag..." weerklink oor die straat.
En: "Silent Night, Holy Night..." echoes through the street.

Af: Piet is effe verward, maar die liedjies laat hom glimlag.
En: Piet is a bit confused, but the carols make him smile.

Af: Hy knik instemmend en laat Jannie vredevol verbyloop.
En: He nods approvingly and lets Jannie pass peacefully.

Af: Jannie stap vinnig verder en neem 'n kortpad agter die bome in die rigting van Sannie se huis.
En: Jannie quickly moves on and takes a shortcut behind the trees towards Sannie's house.

Af: Ten einde beteken Jannie voor Sannie se voordeur, vee die sweet van sy voorkop af en klop sag aan.
En: Finally, Jannie arrives at Sannie's front door,...
