Story Transcript:

Da: Anders og Signe var i Tivoli, og Anders havde en plan.
En: Anders and Signe were in Tivoli, and Anders had a plan.

Da: Han ville imponere Signe ved at vinde et stort tøjdyr i et karnevalsspil.
En: He wanted to impress Signe by winning a large stuffed animal in a carnival game.

Da: Han gik hen til baren, hvor spillet stod, og betalte for tre bolde.
En: He went to the bar where the game was and paid for three balls.

Da: Anders koncentrerede sig og kastede den første bold mod målet.
En: Anders concentrated and threw the first ball towards the goal.

Da: Men han missede!
En: But he missed!

Da: Bolden fløj forbi og ramte en af de små kabiner, som pludselig væltede ned.
En: The ball flew past and hit one of the small cabins, which suddenly fell down.

Da: Publikum grinede, og Anders blev en smule flov.
En: The audience laughed and Anders got a little embarrassed.

Da: Han tog en dyb indånding og forsøgte igen.
En: He took a deep breath and tried again.

Da: Den anden bold ramte lige ved siden af målet og slog endnu en kabine ned.
En: The second ball hit just wide of the goal and brought down another booth.

Da: Nu lo alle af ham, og Anders følte sig virkelig dum.
En: Now everyone laughed at him, and Anders felt really stupid.

Da: Men han ville ikke give op.
En: But he wouldn't give up.

Da: Anders kastede den sidste bold af al sin kraft, og denne gang ramte han målet præcis!
En: Anders threw the last ball with all his might, and this time he hit the target exactly!

Da: Klokken lød, og en mand gik hen til Anders med et kæmpe tøjdyr.
En: The bell rang, and a man walked up to Anders with a giant stuffed animal.

Da: Anders så stolt på Signe, og hun smilte tilbage.
En: Anders looked proudly at Signe, and she smiled back.

Da: Men pludselig var der tumult i baggrunden.
En: But suddenly there was commotion in the background.

Da: Flere kabiner blev væltet omkuld, og folk begyndte at grine endnu mere.
En: Several cabins were overturned and people started laughing even more.

Da: Det viser sig, at Anders' kraftfulde kast havde forårsaget en lille chokbølge, der fik kabinerne til at falde.
En: It turns out that Donald's powerful throw had caused a small shock wave that caused the cabins to fall.

Da: Anders havde ikke set det komme.
En: Anders hadn't seen it coming.

Da: Nu var kaoset totalt, og tilskuere morede sig vildt.
En: Now the chaos was total, and spectators were wildly amused.

Da: Anders var flov, men han besluttede sig for at gøre det rigtige.
En: Anders was embarrassed, but he decided to do the right thing.

Da: Han gik hen til baren og fortalte personalet, hvad der var sket.
En: He went to the bar and told the staff what had happened.

Da: Personalet var ikke sure, de var faktisk imponerede over, hvor langt hans boldkast var nået.
En: The staff weren't mad, they were actually impressed with how far his throw had gone.

Da: De tilbød Anders og Signe en ny omgang gratis spil.
En: They offered Anders and Signe another round of free games.

Da: Anders takkede ja, og denne gang koncentrerede han sig mere om sin kraft.
En: Anders agreed, and this time he concentrated more on his power.

Da: Han kastede bolden igen og ramte målet, uden at noget andet væltede omkuld.
En: He threw the ball again and hit the target without anything else falling over.

Da: Publikum klappede begejstret, og selvom Anders ikke havde vundet flere store tøjdyr, var han glad.
En: The audience applauded enthusiastically, and although Anders had not won any more large stuffed animals, he was happy.

Da: Han havde imponeret Signe med sit mod og sin vilje til at rette op på fejltagelserne.
En: He had impressed Signe with his courage and his willingness to correct the mistakes.

Da: Anders og Signe fortsatte deres dag i Tivoli, nu med et smil på læberne og et godt minde om det kaos, Anders' kast havde forårsaget.
En: Anders and Signe continued their day in Tivoli, now with a smile on their faces and a good memory of the chaos that Anders' throw had caused.

Da: De vidste begge, at de havde haft det sjovt og at de aldrig ville glemme denne dag i Tivoli.
En: They both knew that they had had fun and that they would never forget this day at Tivoli.
