Nl: In haar hart hoopte ze dat iedereen haar inspanningen zou waarderen.
En: In her heart, she hoped everyone would appreciate her efforts.
Nl: Aan de andere kant van de straat, in een nieuw huis, stond Bram.
En: On the other side of the street, in a new house, stood Bram.
Nl: Hij was net verhuisd en kende nog niemand goed.
En: He had just moved in and didn’t know anyone well yet.
Nl: Hij was niet gewend aan zoveel poeha over een festival, maar hij wilde erbij horen.
En: He wasn’t accustomed to so much fuss over a festival, but he wanted to be part of it.
Nl: Hij wilde vrienden maken in zijn nieuwe buurt.
En: He wanted to make friends in his new neighborhood.
Nl: Esmé liep naar het clubhuis om de laatste voorbereidingen te controleren.
En: Esmé walked to the clubhouse to check the final preparations.
Nl: Daar ontmoette ze Bram, die als vrijwilliger had aangeboden.
En: There she met Bram, who had volunteered to help.
Nl: Ze merkten al snel op dat ze heel verschillend waren.
En: They quickly noticed that they were very different.
Nl: Esmé hield van controle, Bram was ontspannen.
En: Esmé liked control, Bram was laid-back.
Nl: Maar nu, met het festival in zicht, had ze iemands hulp echt nodig.
En: But now, with the festival in sight, she really needed someone’s help.
Nl: "Bram," zei Esmé met een beetje twijfel, "zou je de decoraties in het park willen regelen?
En: “Bram,” said Esmé with a bit of hesitation, “would you like to handle the decorations in the park?
Nl: Het is belangrijk.
En: It’s important.
Nl: Denk je dat je dat aankunt?" Bram glimlachte.
En: Do you think you can manage that?” Bram smiled.
Nl: "Tuurlijk, Esmé.
En: “Of course, Esmé.
Nl: Maak je geen zorgen.
En: Don’t worry.
Nl: Het komt goed."
En: It’ll be fine.”
Nl: De dagen daarna werkte Bram hard.
En: In the following days, Bram worked hard.
Nl: Hij versierde het park met pompoenen, kleurrijke slingers en lichtjes.
En: He decorated the park with pumpkins, colorful streamers, and lights.
Nl: Esmé stond vaak naast hem en gaf instructies.
En: Esmé was often beside him giving instructions.
Nl: Soms plaagde Bram haar.
En: Sometimes Bram teased her.
Nl: "Relax, Esmé.
En: “Relax, Esmé.
Nl: Alles komt goed!"
En: Everything will be alright!”
Nl: Hij voelde zich vaker thuis, dankzij haar.
En: He felt more at home, thanks to her.
Nl: Eindelijk was het de avond van het festival.
En: Finally, it was the evening of the festival.
Nl: Families kwamen samen in het park.
En: Families gathered in the park.
Nl: Kinderen in Halloween-kostuums renden rond.
En: Children in Halloween costumes ran around.
Nl: Er was muziek, eten en gezelligheid.
En: There was music, food, and conviviality.
Nl: Maar plotseling begon het te regenen.
En: But suddenly it started to rain.
Nl: Iedereen liep snel naar de schuilplaats van het clubhuis.
En: Everyone quickly ran to the shelter of the clubhouse.
Nl: Tot overmaat van ramp viel de stroom uit.
En: To make matters worse, the power went out.
Nl: Esmé keek paniekerig om zich heen.
En: Esmé looked around in panic.
Nl: Haar perfecte plannen leken in duigen te vallen.
En: Her perfect plans seemed to fall apart.
Nl: Maar Bram bleef kalm.
En: But Bram remained calm.
Nl: "Geen paniek, Esmé.
En: “Don’t panic, Esmé.
Nl: We kunnen hier een leuke avond van maken."
