Story Transcript:

Da: Skoven lå stille, dækket af en tyk dyne af sne.
En: The forest lay still, covered by a thick blanket of snow.

Da: Træernes grene svajede let i vinden, som blev stærkere for hvert øjeblik.
En: The branches of the trees swayed gently in the wind, which grew stronger with each moment.

Da: Soren og Astrid gik dybt inde i skovens hjerte.
En: Soren and Astrid walked deep into the heart of the forest.

Da: Det var vinter, og sneen faldt tungere end normalt.
En: It was winter, and the snow was falling heavier than usual.

Da: Soren stak hænderne dybt i lommerne.
En: Soren stuck his hands deep in his pockets.

Da: Han kunne mærke kulden trænge ind.
En: He could feel the cold seeping in.

Da: Astrid gik ved hans side, hendes trin lette og beslutsomme.
En: Astrid walked by his side, her steps light and determined.

Da: Hun kiggede op på Soren og så tankerne og sorgen, der stadig tyngede ham.
En: She looked up at Soren and saw the thoughts and sorrow that still weighed on him.

Da: Sidste år havde ikke været let for ham.
En: Last year had not been easy for him.

Da: "Hvordan har du det, Soren?"
En: "How are you, Soren?"

Da: spurgte Astrid forsigtigt.
En: asked Astrid cautiously.

Da: "Jeg ved det ikke," svarede Soren.
En: "I don't know," replied Soren.

Da: "Året er snart slut, men jeg føler mig ikke klar til en ny begyndelse."
En: "The year is almost over, but I don't feel ready for a new beginning."

Da: Astrid stoppede og så på ham.
En: Astrid stopped and looked at him.

Da: Hun ønskede intet mere end at hjælpe ham finde fred.
En: She wanted nothing more than to help him find peace.

Da: Hun havde altid været energisk, fyldt med håb.
En: She had always been energetic, full of hope.

Da: Måske kunne denne tur hjælpe ham.
En: Maybe this trip could help him.

Da: Pludselig fløj sneen kraftigere omkring dem.
En: Suddenly, the snow flew more fiercely around them.

Da: Vinden hylede, og skoven blev til et virvar af hvidt.
En: The wind howled, and the forest became a whirlwind of white.

Da: Astrid greb Sorens hånd.
En: Astrid grabbed Soren's hand.

Da: "Vi må finde ly," sagde hun.
En: "We need to find shelter," she said.

Da: "Snestormen bliver værre."
En: "The snowstorm is getting worse."

Da: Soren nikkede.
En: Soren nodded.

Da: De fortsatte længere ind i skoven, hvert skridt mere besværligt af den dybe sne.
En: They continued further into the forest, each step more difficult due to the deep snow.

Da: Astrid pegede mod nogle tætte buske.
En: Astrid pointed towards some dense bushes.

Da: "Måske kan vi finde dækning der?"
En: "Maybe we can find cover there?"

Da: Men sneen blev dem hurtigt overmandet.
En: But the snow soon overwhelmed them.

Da: De mistede retningen, og pludselig var Astrid væk fra Sorens side.
En: They lost direction, and suddenly Astrid was gone from Soren's side.

Da: Han vendte sig hurtigere rundt.
En: He turned around quickly.

Da: "Astrid!"
En: "Astrid!"

Da: råbte han, men vinden bar hans stemme væk.
En: he shouted, but the wind carried his voice away.

Da: Han måtte vælge: Fortsætte frem eller søge tilbage efter hende.
En: He had to choose: Continue forward or go back to look for her.

Da: Søren, der ellers altid havde frygtet forandring, mærkede nu noget andet.
En: Soren, who otherwise always feared change, now felt something different.

Da: Han ville ikke miste sin ven.
En: He didn't want to lose his friend.

Da: Med en beslutsomhed han knap vidste, han havde, vendte han om.
En: With a determination he scarcely knew he had, he turned back.

Da: Sneen gjorde det svært at se, men han lyttede efter enhver lyd.
En: The snow made it difficult to see, but he listened for any sound.

Da: Et svagt host fangede hans øre, og han skyndte sig tilbage.
En: A faint cough caught his ear, and he hurried back.

Da: Astrid sad mod et træ, næsten dækket af sne.
En: Astrid was sitting against a tree, almost covered in snow.

Da: "Jeg kunne ikke gå længere," sagde hun med et svagt smil.
En: "I couldn't go further," she said with a weak smile.

Da: Soren hjalp hende op, og sammen fandt de et lille hul i en tæt klynge af træer.
En: Soren helped her up, and together they found a small hole in a dense cluster of trees.

Da: Der var roligt og beskyttet mod den værste vind.
En: There it was calm and protected from the worst of the wind.

Da: "Tak," hviskede Astrid taknemmeligt.
En: "Thank you," Astrid whispered gratefully.

Da: Soren så på hende og indså pludselig, hvor vigtigt det var at have nogen at støtte sig til.
En: Soren looked at her and suddenly realized how important it was to have someone to rely on.

Da: Den tætte skov omkring dem gav et løfte om nye begyndelser.
En: The dense forest around them promised new beginnings.

Da: Måske kunne han forlade årets mørke skyer bagi.
En: Maybe he could leave the year's dark clouds behind.

Da: Da snestormen endelig stilnede af, sad de to sammen, med håb om den kommende morgen.
En: When the snowstorm finally subsided, the two sat together, with hope for the coming morning.

Da: Soren vidste nu, at han ikke behøvede at være alene.
En: Soren now knew he didn't have to be alone.

Da: Med Astrid ved sin side kunne han sætte pris på livet igen.
En: With Astrid by his side, he could appreciate life again.

Da: Når nytåret kom, ville han være klar til at starte på ny.
En: When the new year came, he would be ready to start afresh.

Da: Skovens stilhed var nu fyldt med løfter om fremtidens lysere dage.
En: The forest's silence was now filled with promises of brighter days ahead.
