Story Transcript:

Sv: Någonstans djupt inne i en lägenhet i Stockholm, stod Astrid med en samling träbitar och skruvar spridda omkring henne på golvet.
En: Somewhere deep inside an apartment in Stockholm, Astrid stood with a collection of wooden pieces and screws scattered around her on the floor.

Sv: Hela scenen var kantad av förvirring.
En: The whole scene was lined with confusion.

Sv: Hon hade köpt ett nytt bokhyllan från IKEA.
En: She had bought a new bookshelf from IKEA.

Sv: Men nu var instruktionerna borta.
En: But now the instructions were missing.

Sv: Astrid var enveten.
En: Astrid was stubborn.

Sv: Hon bestämde sig för att montera bokhyllan utan instruktioner.
En: She decided to assemble the bookshelf without instructions.

Sv: Omöjligt var bara ett ord i ordboken för henne.
En: Impossible was just a word in the dictionary for her.

Sv: Hon började.
En: She began.

Sv: Två träbitar här, några skruvar där.
En: Two wooden pieces here, a few screws there.

Sv: Hon försökte passa ihop bitarna, förlitade sig på sin intuition.
En: She tried to fit the pieces together, relying on her intuition.

Sv: Hon jobbade hela eftermiddagen.
En: She worked all afternoon.

Sv: Frustrationen växte.
En: The frustration grew.

Sv: Men Astrid vägrade ge upp.
En: But Astrid refused to give up.

Sv: Några timmar sen, stod där något som på avstånd kunde ses som bokhylla.
En: A few hours later, something that from a distance could be seen as a bookshelf stood there.

Sv: Men på nära håll var det en annan historia.
En: But up close, it was a different story.

Sv: Bokhyllan var sne.
En: The bookshelf was crooked.

Sv: Den var inte stabil.
En: It was not stable.

Sv: Den var inte riktigt en bokhylla.
En: It wasn't really a bookshelf.

Sv: Oron ville inte lämna Astrid.
En: Worry wouldn't leave Astrid.

Sv: Hon tänkte om sin förlorade instruktion.
En: She thought about her lost instructions.

Sv: Utan den var hela uppgiften som att klättra mot en stormig vind.
En: Without them, the whole task felt like climbing against a stormy wind.

Sv: Hon funderade på att ge upp.
En: She contemplated giving up.

Sv: Då ringde telefonen.
En: Then the phone rang.

Sv: Det var Astrids vän, Ida.
En: It was Astrid's friend, Ida.

Sv: Ida var snäll.
En: Ida was kind.

Sv: Hon kom över till Astrids lägenhet rakt på, med en nyuppköpt bokhylla från IKEA.
En: She came over to Astrid's apartment right away, with a newly purchased bookshelf from IKEA.

Sv: Den hade instruktioner.
En: It had instructions.

Sv: Tillsammans började de två vännerna processen igen.
En: Together, the two friends started the process again.

Sv: Denna gången, med instruktionerna i handen, var monteringsprocessen inte lika skrämmande.
En: This time, with the instructions in hand, the assembly process wasn't as daunting.

Sv: De följde stegen noggrant.
En: They followed the steps carefully.

Sv: Timmarna flög iväg i skratten och arbetet.
En: The hours flew by in laughter and work.

Sv: Till slut stod där en bokhylla.
En: In the end, there stood a bookshelf.

Sv: En riktig, rak och stabil bokhylla.
En: A real, straight, and stable bookshelf.
