Nl: "Wat denk je, Bram?"

Nl: "Ik weet het niet, Sophie.
En: "I don't know, Sophie.

Nl: We moeten voorzichtig zijn," zei hij, terwijl hij Liselotte, een andere buurvrouw, aankeek.
En: We should be careful," he said, glancing at Liselotte, another neighbor.

Nl: "We moeten de regels volgen.
En: "We need to follow the rules.

Nl: We mogen het niet openen."

Nl: Maar Sophie's nieuwsgierigheid was moeilijk te negeren.
