Annelie gaan nerens heen nie.”En: “Stop wasting your time. Annelie's going nowhere.”Af: Annelie het oor haar bril gekyk.En: Annelie looked over her glasses.Af: “Moenie moedswillig wees nie. Dit klink regtig soos 'n klug.”En: “Don't be foolish. It really sounds like a hoax.”Af: Maar Pieter het nie afgeskrik nie.En: But Pieter wasn't put off.Af: Later die middag, nadat die klok gedokter het, het hy en Johan agtergebly.En: Later that afternoon, after the clock had struck, he and Johan stayed behind.Af: Die biblioteek was rustig, 'n stil toevlug weg van die middag se hitte.En: The library was calm, a quiet retreat from the afternoon's heat.Af: Hulle wou meer oor die geheimsinnige boek uitvind.En: They wanted to find out more about the mysterious book.Af: “Nog steeds seker van jou raaisel?” het Johan gevra en sy oë gerol terwyl die son buite stadig begin sak het.En: “Still sure of your mystery?” Johan asked, rolling his eyes as the sun outside slowly began setting.Af: Pieter het net geknik.En: Pieter just nodded.Af: Met 'n flitslig het Pieter tussen die bladsye geloer totdat hy 'n vreemd gelyke bult opgemerk het.En: With a flashlight, Pieter peered between the pages until he noticed an oddly shaped bump.Af: “Kyk hier!” het hy gefluister en saggies begin peuter.En: “Look here!” he whispered and gently began to poke around.Af: Die binnekant van die bokantblad het onverwags oopgeklap, en daar was skielik 'n klein silwer sleutel.En: The inside of the front cover unexpectedly flipped open, and there was suddenly a small silver key.Af: Op daardie oomblik het 'n somerstorm buite opgewel.En: At that moment, a summer storm arose outside.Af: Blitse het helder geflits en die elektrisiteit het geflikker.En: Lightning flashed brightly, and the electricity flickered.Af: Albei het geskrik toe boeke van die rakke begin val.En: Both were startled when books started falling off the shelves.Af: “Dis 'n teken!” Pieter het uitgeroep.En: “It's a sign!” Pieter exclaimed.Af: “Kom, ons moet uitvind waarvoor hierdie sleutel is.”En: “Come on, we need to find out what this key is for.”Af: Johan het Pieter se entoesiasme nie heeltemal gedeel nie, maar hy het sy vriend steeds gevolg.En: Johan didn't entirely share Pieter's enthusiasm, but he still followed his friend.Af: Hulle het begin soek na 'n afdraaikamertje wat deur die sleutel ontsluit sou word.En: They began searching for a little room that the key might unlock.Af: Agter 'n ou gordyn in die hoek, het hulle die antwoord gevind: 'n verroeste slot.En: Behind an old curtain in the corner, they found ...
