Story Transcript:

Da: Foråret havde malet Jyllands gård i grønne nuancer.
En: Spring had painted Jyllands gård in shades of green.

Da: Solen skinnede over de rullende marker, og en let brise bragte duften af nyudsprungne blomster ind i stuen.
En: The sun shone over the rolling fields, and a light breeze brought the scent of newly blossomed flowers into the living room.

Da: Lars stod ved vinduet og skævede ud mod markerne.
En: Lars stood by the window, glancing out at the fields.

Da: Han havde været væk længe, og det føltes både fremmed og hjemligt at være tilbage.
En: He had been away for a long time, and it felt both foreign and familiar to be back.

Da: Freja, hans yngre søster, løb rundt i haven.
En: Freja, his younger sister, ran around in the garden.

Da: Hun havde planer om at dyrke en ny slags blomst, unik for Jylland, og hendes entusiasme smittede.
En: She planned to cultivate a new type of flower, unique to Jylland, and her enthusiasm was infectious.

Da: Mikkel, en gammel ven af familien, fulgte efter hende med nysgerrige øjne.
En: Mikkel, an old family friend, followed her with curious eyes.

Da: Han havde altid haft et blødt punkt for Freja.
En: He had always had a soft spot for Freja.

Da: "Har vi tid til kaffe?"
En: "Do we have time for coffee?"

Da: spurgte Freja, da hun kom ind i stuen med jord på hænderne.
En: asked Freja as she came into the living room with dirt on her hands.

Da: Lars nikkede og følte sig lidt bedre tilpas med sin søsters nærvær.
En: Lars nodded, feeling a little more at ease with his sister's presence.

Da: Men han vidste, at der var noget, han skulle tale med Mikkel om.
En: But he knew there was something he needed to discuss with Mikkel.

Da: Lars havde opdaget, at gårdens økonomi var værre, end nogen troede.
En: Lars had discovered that the farm's finances were worse than anyone thought.

Da: Hvis de ikke fandt en løsning, kunne de miste det hele.
En: If they didn't find a solution, they could lose everything.

Da: Det plagede ham, og han kunne ikke bære at skuffe Freja, specielt ikke midt i hendes projekt.
En: It troubled him, and he couldn't bear to disappoint Freja, especially not in the middle of her project.

Da: Senere på eftermiddagen, mens Freja var optaget af sine blomster, trak Lars Mikkel til side.
En: Later in the afternoon, while Freja was busy with her flowers, Lars pulled Mikkel aside.

Da: "Jeg har brug for din hjælp," sagde Lars stille.
En: "I need your help," said Lars quietly.

Da: Han fortalte Mikkel om de økonomiske problemer.
En: He told Mikkel about the financial problems.

Da: Mikkel lyttede og lovede at stå ved hans side.
En: Mikkel listened and promised to stand by his side.

Da: Deres bånd blev stærkere i den stille forståelse.
En: Their bond grew stronger in the quiet understanding.

Da: Da aftenen nærmede sig, samledes familien til middag.
En: As evening approached, the family gathered for dinner.

Da: Lars følte en knude i maven.
En: Lars felt a knot in his stomach.

Da: Mikkel sad ved hans side og gav ham mod.
En: Mikkel sat by his side, giving him courage.

Da: Pludselig begyndte det at regne kraftigt, og alle måtte skynde sig indenfor.
En: Suddenly, it began to rain heavily, and everyone had to rush inside.

Da: Det var der, midt i det varme køkken, at Lars følte sig nødt til at tale.
En: It was there, in the warm kitchen, that Lars felt compelled to speak.

Da: "Jeg har noget vigtigt at fortælle," begyndte han.
En: "I have something important to tell," he began.

Da: Der blev stille.
En: Silence fell.

Da: Han forklarede familiens økonomiske situation og sine bekymringer.
En: He explained the family's financial situation and his worries.

Da: Freja blev først chokeret, men så rakte hun hånden ud og tog Lars’.
En: Freja was initially shocked, but then she reached out and took Lars' hand.

Da: "Vi skal nok finde en løsning," sagde hun beslutsomt.
En: "We'll find a solution," she said determinedly.

Da: Freja kom op med en idé.
En: Freja came up with an idea.

Da: Hvad hvis hendes unikke blomster kunne redde gården?
En: What if her unique flowers could save the farm?

Da: De kunne starte en ny forretning, sælge blomsterne og lave en ny indtægtskilde.
En: They could start a new business, sell the flowers, and create a new source of income.

Da: De begyndte straks at planlægge, og mens regnen trommede mod tagene, voksede deres håb.
En: They began planning immediately, and as the rain drummed against the roofs, their hope grew.

Da: Mikkel blev en del af deres plan.
En: Mikkel became a part of their plan.

Da: Sammen skabte de en lille virksomhed, der kombinerede Frejas passion og Lars' forretningssans.
En: Together, they created a small business that combined Freja's passion and Lars's business sense.

Da: Med tiden begyndte gårdens fremtid at se lysere ud.
En: Over time, the farm's future began to look brighter.

Da: Lars lærte noget vigtigt den forårsaften.
En: Lars learned something important that spring evening.

Da: Han indså, at han ikke behøvede at bære sine byrder alene.
En: He realized that he didn't have to carry his burdens alone.

Da: Sammen, kunne de overkomme alt, hvad der kom deres vej, og Jyllands gård begyndte langsomt men sikkert at blomstre igen.
En: Together, they could overcome anything that came their way, and Jyllands gård began to slowly but surely bloom again.
