Dutch to English: The Secret of the Cheese General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Source text - Dutch Pirmin sprong uit de auto, stak een grote ijzeren sleutel in het slot van de reusachtige houten deur en duwde hem open. Uit de achterbak van zijn auto haalde hij een prachtige ronde kaas te voorschijn die hij heel voorzichtig in zijn beide armen nam. Vervolgens daalde hij een steile trap af, die diep onder de grond naar het centrum van de kaaskathedraal leidde.
Op een verhoging midden in een grote hoge ruimte legde hij de kaas uiterst behoedzaam neer. Tevreden wreef Pirmin zachtjes over de kaas en mompelde : Tjonge , Tjonge! Jij ziet er werkelijk prachtig uit hoor! Neem nu maar rustig op je gemak de tijd om te rijpen. Ik zal in de komende jaren goed voor je blijven zorgen en er nauwkeurig op letten dat je geen aandacht te kort zult krijgen. Beloofd is beloofd!
Translation - English Pirmin opened the door with a large iron key, lifted a beautiful round cheese out of the car and descended the stairs of the Cheese Cathedral. In the center of the room below was a large pedestal. Delicately he placed the cheese on the pedestal. Caressing the cheese, Pirmin muttered
contentedly to himself: “You look just fine. Take your time ripening. I'll cherish you and tend to you for as long as it takes.” Then he trod slowly back up the stairs, closed the door carefully and headed home.
