And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

Af: 'n Dag waarin krag en deursettingsvermoë gevier moet word. En: A day on which strength and perseverance should be celebrated.
Af: En sy, 'n toegewyde omgewingsbewaarder, wil haar navorsing oor die seldsame plantspesie voltooi. En: And she, a dedicated environmentalist, wants to complete her research on the rare plant species.
Af: Die maand se einde kom nader soos 'n skaduwee wat spoedig op haar val. En: The end of the month approaches like a shadow that soon falls upon her.
Af: Maar die weer is besig om te draai. En: But the weather is starting to turn.
Af: Eben, die parkbewaarder, kyk bekommerd na die donker wolke wat die hemel oorweldig. En: Eben, the park ranger, looks worriedly at the dark clouds overwhelming the sky.
Af: Hy is ervare en weet dat 'n groot storm oppad is. En: He is experienced and knows that a major storm is on its way.
Af: "Anika," roep hy, sy stem is ferm, maar daar is 'n blik van dringendheid. En: "Anika," he calls, his voice firm but with a hint of urgency.
Af: "Ons moet skuiling soek. Hierdie storm kan gevaarlik wees." En: "We must seek shelter. This storm can be dangerous."
Af: Sy huiwer, kyk na die plante, voel die dringende druk om haar werk klaar te maak. En: She hesitates, looks at the plants, feeling the urgent pressure to finish her work.
Af: "Ek kan nie wag nie, Eben," betoog sy. En: "I can't wait, Eben," she argues.
Af: "Ek het net 'n bietjie tyd nodig." En: "I just need a little more time."
Af: Eben frons, sy plig is om almal se veiligheid te verseker. En: Eben frowns, his duty is to ensure everyone's safety.
Af: Hy weet die risiko's van 'n storm in hierdie ruwe terrein. En: He knows the risks of a storm in this rugged terrain.
Af: "Anika," sê hy dringend, "jou lewe is belangriker as enige navorsing. En: "Anika," he says urgently, "your life is more important than any research.
Af: Kom, ons moet gaan." En: Come, we must go."
Af: Die storm los nie veel tyd vir besinning nie. En: The storm doesn't leave much time for contemplation.
Af: 'n Donderslag kraak oor die see, en die wind waai sterker. En: A thunderclap cracks over the sea, and the wind blows stronger.
Af: Anika besluit om tog voort te gaan, vasbeslote om haar werk klaar te maak. En: Anika decides to proceed, determined to finish her work.
Af: Sy dwaal verder die woud in. En: She ventures further into the forest.
Af: Maar die storm is vinniger as wat sy verwag het. En: But the storm is faster than she expected.
Af: Die reën begin swaar val en Anika besef dat sy haar pad verloor het. En: The rain begins to fall heavily, and Anika realizes she has lost her way.
Af: Intussen probeer Eben nie moed opgee nie. En: Meanwhile, Eben tries not to give up hope.
Af: Hy weet hy moet Anika vind voor die nag val.
