with his own curiosity.Af: "Daar was onlangs 'n paar rotsvalle," herinner Thabo die ander twee, sy stem vol bekommernis.En: "There have been a few rockfalls recently," Thabo reminds the other two, his

hesitation, joins them, hoping to ensure that everything remains safe.Af: Die pad is moeilik.En: The path is difficult.Af: Klippe lê verspreid, en hulle moet versigtig stap om nie te gly nie.En: Rocks

werk, en dit stuur 'n geheimsinnige sein die wêreld in.En: To their amazement, it seems that a piece of old broadcast equipment is still working, sending out a mysterious signal into the world.Af: Met Banele se kennis van elektronika ontrafel hulle die kode.En: With Banele's knowledge of electronics, they unravel the code.Af: Dit is 'n ou oorlogstyd uitsending, vasgevang in 'n elektromagnetiese lus

across the paper.Af: Alhoewel dit nie die interessante storie is wat sy verwag het nie, is dit veel betekenisvoller.En: Although it's not the interesting story she expected, it is much more meaningful.Af: Thabo glimlag, sy oë op die antenne.En: Thabo smiles, his eyes on the antenna.Af: "Dalk is daar meer aan hierdie werk as wat ek gedink het," sê hy.En: "Maybe there's more to this job
