Dit was 'n pragtige Saterdagmiddag in Stellenbosch.

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Stellenbosch.

Die son skyn helder oor die wingerde, en die lug was skoon en vars.

The sun shone brightly over the vineyards, and the air was clean and fresh.

Jaco was op pad na sy vriend Pieter se huis vir ’n braai.

Jaco was on his way to his friend Pieter's house for a barbecue.

Hy het oor die klippe gestap en die geur van braaivleis het in die lug gehang.

He walked over the stones, and the smell of grilled meat hung in the air.

Jaco het by die heining gestaan en gehoor hoe sy vriende lag en gesels.

Jaco stood at the fence and heard his friends laughing and chatting.

"Kom in, Jaco!" roep Pieter, wat by die rooster staan met 'n tang in die hand.

"Come in, Jaco!" called Pieter, who was standing by the grill with tongs in his hand.

Jaco glimlag en stap tuin toe, waar hy reeds die groep mense kon sien.

Jaco smiled and walked into the garden, where he could already see the group of people.

Daar was Salome, Anna, en Fanie.

There were Salome, Anna, and Fanie.

Hulle het in plastiekstoele gesit en koeldrank gedrink.

They were sitting in plastic chairs and drinking soft drinks.

"Jaco, jy moet die wors proe wat ek gemaak het," sê Pieter trots.

"Jaco, you have to taste the sausage I made," said Pieter proudly.

Jaco het 'n stuk wors gevat en 'n hap geneem.

Jaco took a piece of sausage and took a bite.

“Dis heerlik!” sê hy en glimlag.

"It's delicious!" he said, smiling.

Pieter het die vuur aangepor en die kole het helder gegloei.

Pieter stoked the fire, and the coals glowed brightly.

Salome het slaai gemaak met lekker vars groente en Anna het 'n groot bak aartappelslaai na die tafel gedra.

Salome made a salad with nice fresh vegetables, and Anna carried a large bowl of potato salad to the table.

Fanie het sy kitaar gevat en 'n gesellige liedjie begin speel.

Fanie grabbed his guitar and started playing a cozy song.

Almal het gesing en geklapt.

Everyone sang and clapped.

Die kinders het rondgehardloop en gespeel op die gras.

The children ran around and played on the grass.

“Die vleis is gereed!” roep Pieter.

"The meat is ready!" Pieter called.

Almal het nader gestaan en hul borde vol gemaak.

Everyone came closer and filled their plates.

Jaco het ‘n stuk hoender en ‘n tjop op sy bord gesit.

Jaco put a piece of chicken and a chop on his plate.

Hy het 'n groot skeppie van Salome se slaai en Anna se aartappelslaai bygevoeg.

He added a big helping of Salome's salad and Anna's potato salad.

Die kos was heerlik, en almal het lekker saam geëet.

The food was delicious, and everyone ate heartily together.

Dinge was egter nie so rustig nie.

However, things were not so calm.

Skielik kom ‘n groot bries in en almal het hul borde vasgehou om te keer dat dit wegwaai.

Suddenly, a strong breeze came in, and everyone held their plates to prevent them from blowing away.

Anna se hoed het van haar af gewaai en Fanie het agterna gehardloop.

Anna's hat blew off, and Fanie ran after it.

Hulle het almal gelag en gegrap, maar dan het die weer bedreigender geword.

They all laughed and joked, but then the weather became more threatening.

"Ek dink dis tyd om onderdak te gaan," sê Pieter, en die groep het na die huis beweeg.

"I think it's time to go undercover," said Pieter, and the group moved into the house.

Binne-in die huis was dit warm en knus.

Inside the house, it was warm and cozy.

Pieter het die kaggel aangesteek, en almal het rondom die kaggel gesit en gesels.

Pieter lit the fireplace, and everyone sat around it, chatting.

Die reën het buite begin val.

The rain began to fall outside.

“Wat 'n dag,” sê Salome.

"What a day," said Salome.

Jaco knik instemmend.

Jaco nodded in agreement.

“Ja, ondanks die reën was dit 'n wonderlike braai.”

"Yes, despite the rain, it was a wonderful barbecue."

Aan die einde van die dag het die reën opgehou en 'n reënboog verskyn aan die horison.

At the end of the day, the rain stopped, and a rainbow appeared on the horizon.

Almal het na buite gegaan en na die pragtige uitsig gekyk.

Everyone went outside and looked at the beautiful view.

Jaco het geweet dat hierdie dag nog lank by hom sou bly.

Jaco knew that this day would stay with him for a long time.

Pieter het vir Jaco 'n drukkie gegee.

Pieter gave Jaco a hug.

“Dankie dat jy gekom het, vriend.”

"Thank you for coming, my friend."

“Dis altyd 'n plesier,” sê Jaco en glimlag.

"It's always a pleasure," said Jaco, smiling.

Dié dag in Stellenbosch het vir Jaco net weereens gewys hoe spesiaal vriendskap is, selfs al raak die weer onvoorspelbaar.

This day in Stellenbosch once again showed Jaco how special friendship is, even when the weather becomes unpredictable.
