Nl: Maar Anouk glimlachte alleen en liep door.
En: But Anouk only smiled and walked on.

Nl: Sanne huppelde langzaam achter hen aan.

Nl: "Anouk, we willen ook andere delen van het park zien," zei Bram.

Nl: "Ja," voegde Sanne toe, "we kunnen later weer afspreken."
En: "Yes," Sanne added, "we can catch up later."

Nl: Anouk viel hun woorden bij.
En: Anouk agreed with them.

Nl: Ze besloot een stillere hoek van het park op te zoeken, dus splitsten ze even op.

Nl: In een afgelegen deel van het park, onder de schaduw van een oude eik, ontdekte Anouk een zeldzame tulpensoort.
En: In a secluded part of the park, under the shade of an old oak, Anouk discovered a rare tulip variety.

Nl: Het was alsof de tulpen haar roep hadden gehoord.
En: It was as if the tulpen had heard her call.

Nl: De heldere kleuren dansten in de zachte wind.
En: The bright colors danced in the gentle wind.

Nl: Ze zette snel haar camera op en vond precies de juiste hoek.
