Es nelūdzu palīdzību un tagad...” Emīls teica, izmisumā mēģinot aizturēt asaras.En: "I... I didn't ask for help and now..." Emīls said, desperately trying to hold back tears.Lv: Laima viegli pasmaidīja.En: Laima smiled gently.Lv: "Nav problēmu, Emīl. Mēs varam to atrisināt kopā," viņa teica.En: "No problem, Emīls. We can solve this together," she said.Lv: Laima palīdzēja Emīlam noņemt telti un pārvietot to uz jaunu vietu.En: Laima helped Emīls remove the tent and move it to a new spot.Lv: Kad viņi beidzot bija veiksmīgi uzsliet telti pareizajā vietā, abi iesmējās par notikušo.En: When they had finally successfully pitched the tent in the right place, they both laughed about what had happened.Lv: Emīls saprata, ka lūgt palīdzību nav vājums, bet draudzības stiprums.En:...
