Sv: Byggde upp igen.
En: Rebuilt.

Sv: Men de gav inte upp.
En: But they didn't give up.

Sv: När natten föll var bokhyllan klar.
En: When night fell, the bookshelf was done.

Sv: "Klockan är så mycket!
En: "It's so late!"

Sv: " utropade Elsa och tittade på Lucas och Ingrid.
En: exclaimed Elsa, looking at Lucas and Ingrid.

Sv: De var trötta men nöjda.
En: They were tired but satisfied.

Sv: "Tack för hjälpen," sade Elsa och kramade dem.
En: "Thank you for your help," Elsa said, hugging them.

Sv: Nästa dag stod bokhyllan på plats.

Sv: Elsa såg på den och log.
En: Elsa looked at it and smiled.

Sv: Det hade varit svårt men de hade gjort det tillsammans.
En: It had been difficult, but they had done it together.

Sv: Och så lärde Elsa sig något.
En: And Elsa learned something.

Sv: Även om instruktionerna är vaga, om du har vänner vid din sida, kan du bygga något fint.
En: Even if the instructions are vague, if you have friends by your side, you can build something beautiful.

Sv: Eller åtminstone en IKEA-bokhylla.
En: Or at least an IKEA bookshelf.

Sv: Och det är inte fy skam, det.

Sv: Elsa, Lucas och Ingrid klarade det.
En: Elsa, Lucas, and Ingrid made it.
