Lientjie en die Geheim van Oom Sarel
Lientjie, a playful young girl, discovers that her friendly neighbor, Oom Sarel, is acting differently. She must uncover the reason behind his unusual behavior and learns the importance of understanding and kindness along the way.
Every morning, Lientjie, her brother Jaco, and their dog Spikkels go to the park. They always pass by Oom Sarel's house and wave hello. Today, Oom Sarel doesn't wave back. Lientjie feels upset and wonders why he ignored them. - "Why didn't Oom Sarel wave, Jaco?" Lientjie asks.
Lientjie tries to forget it as she plays on the swings, but she can't stop thinking about Oom Sarel. Normally, she flies high in the air, but today she swings slowly. - "I don't think Oom Sarel likes us anymore," Lientjie sighs. Jaco nods, "Maybe we did something wrong." Their mom reminds them of Oom Sarel's kindness.
The next day, Lientjie decides to make Oom Sarel a drawing to cheer him up. But when they pass his house again, he still doesn't look up. Lientjie feels frustrated and crumples the drawing. - "I give up. He doesn't care anyway," Lientjie says. Jaco suggests asking their mom for advice.
Lientjie thinks about giving up on cheering Oom Sarel. She feels as if her heart is heavy. - "Maybe he's just grumpy now," she says with a frown. Jaco shakes his head, "Let's ask mom why he might be sad." Their mom explains that Oom Sarel's wife is unwell, and he's worried.
Understanding Oom Sarel's sadness, Lientjie decides to show him kindness. She and Jaco pick flowers from their garden. - "Let's give these to Oom Sarel and make him smile," Lientjie suggests. They approach his house with the flowers in hand. Oom Sarel looks up and sees the flowers, his eyes shining with gratitude.
Oom Sarel thanks Lientjie and Jaco for their thoughtful gesture. He explains how much their kindness means to him during this hard time. - "I'm so glad we didn't give up," Lientjie smiles. Oom Sarel waves them goodbye with a cheerful heart. Lientjie learns that understanding and kindness can brighten someone's day.
