Story Transcript:

Lv: Vasaras saule dedzīgi lēja gaismu pār Ziemassvētku kalnu.
En: The summer sun fervently poured light over Ziemassvētku Mountain.

Lv: Kalns bija pārpildīts ar tūkstošiem krustu.
En: The mountain was filled with thousands of crosses.

Lv: Katrais bija savāds un īpašs.
En: Each one was peculiar and special.

Lv: Vilnis, nedaudz ekscentrisks amatnieks, skatījās kalnā ar cerībām un bažām.
En: Vilnis, a slightly eccentric craftsman, looked at the mountain with hope and concern.

Lv: Viņš turēja savu paštaisītu, nedaudz gabalu šķībo krustu.
En: He held his self-made, somewhat crooked cross.

Lv: Blakus stāvēja viņa māsa Ilze un draugs Artis.
En: Next to him stood his sister Ilze and friend Artis.

Lv: Viņi abi bija noskaņoti palīdzēt, lai gan cik iespējams būtu iespējams.
En: Both were ready to help, as much as possible.

Lv: Ilze lika roku uz Vilņa pleca.
En: Ilze placed a hand on Vilnis's shoulder.

Lv: "Ej nu," viņa smaidot teica, "mēs atradīsim vietu tavai krustam.
En: "Go on," she said with a smile, "we'll find a spot for your cross."

Lv: " Artis pasmīnēja.
En: Artis smirked.

Lv: "Ja tas līdz šim nenokrīt," viņš piebilda ar jokainu toni.
En: "If it doesn't fall over by then," he added in a joking tone.

Lv: Kalnam bija īpaša aura.
En: The mountain had a special aura.

Lv: Tur valdīja klusums, tikai putnu dziesmas un vēja šalkoņa pārtrauca jelkādus citus skaņas.
En: Silence prevailed there, only the songs of birds and the rustling of the wind interrupted any other sounds.

Lv: Vilnis rūpīgi lūkojās apkārt, meklējot piemērotu vietu.
En: Vilnis carefully looked around, searching for a suitable spot.

Lv: Taču visi tuvāko krustu laukumi bija jau aizņemti.
En: But all the nearby cross spaces were already taken.

Lv: "Varbūt tur?
En: "Maybe there?"

Lv: " Viļņa pirksts norādīja uz nedaudz stāvāku zemes gabalu.
En: Vilnis's finger pointed to a slightly steeper patch of ground.

Lv: Ilze un Artis sekoja viņa skatienam.
En: Ilze and Artis followed his gaze.

Lv: "Izskatās labi," teica Ilze, ņemot krusta otru galu.
En: "Looks good," said Ilze, taking the other end of the cross.

Lv: Kad viņi sasniedza izvēlēto vietu, Vilnis un Artis mēģināja nostiprināt krustu.
En: When they reached the chosen spot, Vilnis and Artis tried to steady the cross.

Lv: Tas vēlējās atgāzties un nespēja noturēties taisni.
En: It wanted to lean back and couldn't stay upright.

Lv: Savu darbu tālāk veica šajā karstumā un grūtībās, viņi sadzīvolās un smējās par to, kā tas atkal un atkal gandrīz nokritis.
En: As they continued their work in the heat and difficulties, they got along and laughed about how it almost fell over repeatedly.

Lv: Pēkšņi, kā no jomas pieviljusies, uz skatuves parādījās aita.
En: Suddenly, as if appearing out of nowhere, a sheep appeared on the scene.

Lv: Tā smaržoja Ilzes puķu vainagu, kuru viņa iepina ap krustu.
En: It was sniffing Ilze's flower wreath, which she had woven around the cross.

Lv: "Nē, aitiņa!
En: "No, little sheep!"

Lv: " kliedza Ilze, bet aita, šķiet, netika saprasta.
En: cried Ilze, but the sheep seemed not to understand.

Lv: Notika komiska cīņa.
En: A comical struggle ensued.

Lv: Ilze vilkta vienā pusē krustu, bet aita, ar lielo interesi vaicājošo degunu, vilkās uz otru.
En: Ilze was pulling the cross one way, while the sheep, with its big inquisitive nose, pulled in the other.

Lv: Artis pieleca pie glābšanas.
En: Artis jumped in to help.

Lv: "Pārcīnīsimies šoreiz," viņš jokoja starp haha un nopūtu.
En: "We'll win this fight," he joked between laughs and sighs.

Lv: Visbeidzot, viņi uzvarēja.
En: Finally, they won.

Lv: Krusts stāvēja nostiprināts, nedaudz šķībi ar nevienmērīgi sakārtoto vainagu augšpusē.
En: The cross stood secured, slightly crooked with an unevenly arranged wreath on top.

Lv: Vilnis raudzījās tajā lepns.
En: Vilnis looked at it proudly.

Lv: "Tā nu gan," sacīja viņš, "kopā paveicām labu darbu.
En: "Indeed," he said, "together, we did a good job."

Lv: "Ilze un Artis novilka svītras svārkus, pasmīnēja viens otram un teica: "Labais darbs, Vilni.
En: Ilze and Artis wiped their foreheads, grinned at each other and said, "Good job, Vilnis."

Lv: " Rožu smarža ar iespēju uz desertu cekularā.
En: A scent of roses with a possibility of dessert lingered in the air.

Lv: Jāņi zviedza viņus dzīvot jaunu piedzīvojumu, bet šis krusts stāvēs mūžīgi kā atgādinājums par viņu kopīgiem spēkiem.
En: Jāņi called them to live a new adventure, but this cross would stand forever as a reminder of their joint efforts.
