Versigtig strek die sonstrale oor Tafelberg, 'n helder winteroggend bring 'n koue bries.

Carefully, the sun's rays stretch over Tafelberg, a bright winter morning brings a cold breeze.

Liezl, Jaco, en Emma staan in die ry vir die kabelkar.

Liezl, Jaco, and Emma stand in line for the cable car.

Liezl voel haar handpalms klam as die gedagte van die hoogte haar hart vinniger laat klop.

Liezl feels her palms clammy as the thought of the height makes her heart beat faster.

Sy glimlag dapper na Jaco, haar vriend wat altyd kalm is.

She bravely smiles at Jaco, her friend who is always calm.

Hy gee haar 'n ferm druk op die skouer, onbewus van haar vrees.

He gives her a firm pat on the shoulder, unaware of her fear.

Die kabelkar styg op, en die stad krimp klein onder hulle, 'n see van geboue en padvloei ver onder.

The cable car ascends, and the city shrinks beneath them, a sea of buildings and roadways far below.

Liezl kyk angstig rond, haar oë vlug oor die ander passasiers, maar met Emma aan die beheerstok voel sy 'n tikkie van versekering.

Liezl looks around anxiously, her eyes darting over the other passengers, but with Emma at the control lever, she feels a touch of reassurance.

Emma is 'n ervare gids, ken elke kriesel van hierdie berg en die faroese see wat dit omring.

Emma is an experienced guide, familiar with every inch of this mountain and the faroese sea that surrounds it.

Toe, 'n skielike stop.

Then, a sudden stop.

Die kabelkar hang skielik stil in die lug.

The cable car hangs abruptly still in the air.

'n Stilte sak oor die passasiers en Liezl se vrees gil binne haar, 'n gevoel van vasgekeer wees wat haar keel toeknyp.

A silence falls over the passengers, and Liezl's fear screams within her, a feeling of being trapped that tightens her throat.

"Alles is onder beheer," verseker Emma, haar stem kalm en professioneel.

"Everything is under control," assures Emma, her voice calm and professional.

Sy begin stories van die berg vertel, die geskiedenis daarvan om hulle aandag weg te lei.

She begins to tell stories of the mountain, its history, to draw their attention away.

Liezl kyk na Jaco, sy hand bewerig om syne te gryp.

Liezl looks at Jaco, her hand trembling to grasp his.

Sy besluit om haar grootste vrees met hom te deel.

She decides to share her greatest fear with him.

"Ek is bang," fluister sy.

"I'm scared," she whispers.

Hy kyk verbaas, maar draai dadelik sy volle aandag na haar.

He looks surprised but immediately turns his full attention to her.

"Dis okay," sê hy rustig, sy oë vol begrip.

"It's okay," he says calmly, his eyes full of understanding.

Hy wys haar na die pragtige uitsig onder hulle – die see wat glinster en die stad wat in die verte blink.

He points her to the beautiful view below them – the sea shimmering and the city glistening in the distance.

Hulle staan daar, hand aan hand, terwyl Liezl probeer om die kalmte te vind in die wonder onder hulle.

They stand there, hand in hand, while Liezl tries to find calm in the wonder beneath them.

Emma se stories bring haar afleiding en al hoe meer begin sy die skoonheid waardeer.

Emma's stories bring her distraction, and more and more she begins to appreciate the beauty.

Die kabelkar begin weer beweeg, 'n kalmerende gevoel spoel oor haar.

The cable car begins to move again, a calming feeling washing over her.

Toe hulle uiteindelik grond bereik, is Liezl se bene effens wankelrig, maar haar glimlag is breed.

When they finally reach the ground, Liezl's legs are slightly wobbly, but her smile is wide.

Sy het iets binne haarself oorkom.

She has overcome something within herself.

Sy draai na Jaco en sê: "Dankie dat jy hier was.

She turns to Jaco and says, "Thank you for being here."

" Hy druk haar hand saggies.

He gently squeezes her hand.

Liezl weet nou dat eerlikheid oor haar vrese haar nader aan Jaco bring en help om hulle te oorwin.

Liezl now knows that honesty about her fears brings her closer to Jaco and helps to conquer them.

Met 'n nuwe selfvertroue stap sy saam met Jaco en Emma, af van die indrukwekkende berg, 'n helderder lig in haar oë.

With a new self-confidence, she walks with Jaco and Emma, down from the impressive mountain, a brighter light in her eyes.

Emma gee haar 'n kompliment en Liezl glimlag terug, die koel Kaapse lug nou 'n vriend eerder as 'n vyand.

Emma gives her a compliment, and Liezl smiles back, the cool Kaapse air now a friend rather than a foe.
