Lv: Silas bija biezs un zaļš.
En: The forest was thick and green.

Lv: Koku zari veidoja tīklojumu virs galvām, pasargājot no saules stariem.
En: The tree branches formed a canopy overhead, protecting from the sun's rays.

Lv: Mazs celiņš veda cauri meža dziļumiem uz tirgu, kas atradās meža malā.
En: A small path led through the depths of the forest to the market at its edge.

Lv: Tirgus bija pilns ar cilvēkiem, kas meklēja zāles un ziedus priekš Lughnasadh svētkiem.
En: The market was full of people looking for herbs and flowers for the Lughnasadh festival.

Lv: Agnese un viņas brālis Jānis soļoja pa meža taku.
En: Agnese and her brother Jānis walked along the forest path.

Lv: Agnese bija prasmīga zāļu vāktāja.
En: Agnese was a skilled herbalist.

Lv: Viņa meklēja reto augu - Circaea lutetiana, kas zied tikai šajā laikā.
En: She was searching for the rare plant - Circaea lutetiana, which only blooms at this time.

Lv: Jānis, viņas skeptiskais brālis, bija mazāk ieinteresēts.
En: Jānis, her skeptical brother, was less interested.

Lv: Viņa domas bija par gaidāmo dzimšanas dienu.
En: His thoughts were on the upcoming birthday.

Lv: "Tev vajadzētu man palīdzēt," Agnese teica.
En: "You should help me," Agnese said.

Lv: "Šis augs ir izšķirošs svētku dzērienam.
En: "This plant is crucial for the festival drink."

Lv: ""Es saprotu, bet mēs meklējam visu dienu," Jānis atbildēja.
En: "I understand, but we've been searching all day," Jānis replied.

Lv: "Vai nevaram to atstāt uz citu laiku?
En: "Can't we leave it for another time?"

Lv: ""Cita laika nebūs.
En: "There won't be another time.

Lv: Tas zied tikai tagad, Lughnasadh laikā," Agnese paskaidroja.
En: It only blooms now, during Lughnasadh," Agnese explained.

Lv: Viņi turpināja ceļu, bet ar katru soli Jāņa pacietība saruka.
En: They continued walking, but with each step, Jānis's patience dwindled.

Lv: Kad viņi nonāca pie dakšas ceļā, Agnese izvēlējās grūto taku, kas veda dziļāk mežā.
En: When they came to a fork in the road, Agnese chose the difficult path that led deeper into the forest.

Lv: "Mēs varētu vienkārši doties atpakaļ uz tirgu," Jānis piedāvāja.
En: "We could just go back to the market," Jānis suggested.

Lv: "Nē, mums jādodas dziļumi līdz to atradīsim," Agnese stingri atbildēja.
En: "No, we must go deeper until we find it," Agnese replied firmly.

Lv: Jānis nopūtās, bet sekoja māsai.
En: Jānis sighed but followed his sister.

Lv: Mežs kļuva arvien biezāks un tumšāks.
En: The forest grew denser and darker.

Lv: Viņi gāja vēl ilgi, kamēr pēkšņi priekšā parādījās mazā pļava.
En: They walked for a long time until suddenly a small clearing appeared ahead.

Lv: Vidū auga tas, ko meklēja - Circaea lutetiana.
En: In the middle grew what they were looking for - Circaea lutetiana.

Lv: "Tur tas ir!
En: "There it is!"

Lv: " Agnese priecīgi iesaucās.
En: Agnese exclaimed joyfully.

Lv: Taču, kad viņi tuvojās, dzirdami skaļi rūcieni.
En: However, as they approached, loud growls were heard.

Lv: No ēnām iznāca liels, dusmīgs meža zvērs.
En: A large, angry forest beast emerged from the shadows.

Lv: Tas bija sargs auga.
En: It was the guardian of the plant.

Lv: "Ko darīsim?
En: "What are we going to do?"

Lv: " Jānis nobijies iesaucās.
En: Jānis exclaimed, scared.

Lv: Viņš gribēja bēgt, bet Agnese nekustējās.
En: He wanted to run, but Agnese did not move.

Lv: Viņa zināja, ja neatlaidīsies, herb neizglābs.
En: She knew that if they backed out, the herb wouldn't be saved.

Lv: "Mums jāstrādā kopā," viņa teica.
En: "We have to work together," she said.

Lv: "Es novērsīšu viņa uzmanību, tu paņemsi augu.
En: "I'll distract it, you grab the plant."

Lv: "Jānis negribīgi piekrita.
En: Jānis reluctantly agreed.

Lv: Agnese izkustināja zaru, lai sargu novērstu.
En: Agnese rustled a branch to divert the guardian.

Lv: Kad zvērs pagriezās, Jānis metās pie auga un liks to kabatā.
En: When the beast turned, Jānis dashed to the plant and put it in his pocket.

Lv: Pēc tam viņi ātri atkāpās atpakaļ uz celiņu, kur neviens zvērs neieradās.
En: Then they quickly retreated back to the path, where no beast appeared.

Lv: "Mēs izdarījām to!
En: "We did it!"

Lv: " Agnese pasmaidīja.
En: Agnese smiled.

Lv: Tirgus bija tuvu, un viņi steidzās uz turieni.
En: The market was near, and they hurried there.

Lv: Agnese bija priecīga, ka atrada reto augu.
En: Agnese was happy to have found the rare plant.

Lv: "Es tagad saprotu, cik svarīgas ir šīs dziednieciskās zāles," Jānis teica.
En: "I now understand how important these medicinal herbs are," Jānis said.

Lv: "Tas bija pašas un nacionālās tradīcijas labā.
En: "It was for both personal and national tradition."
