Da: spurgte han forsigtigt.
En: he asked gently.

Da: Hun nikkede hurtigt, men hun kunne ikke skjule sin uro.
En: She nodded quickly, but she couldn't hide her unease.

Da: En dag brast dammen.
En: One day the dam broke.

Da: Kasper havde lavet en lille joke for at opmuntre hende, men Astrid kunne ikke lade være med at råbe: "Kan du ikke bare lade mig være?!"
En: Kasper had made a little joke to cheer her up, but Astrid couldn't help but shout, "Can't you just leave me alone?!"

Da: Stilheden efter hendes udbrud var iskold som vintervejret.
En: The silence after her outburst was as icy as the winter weather.

Da: Kasper så chokeret ud.

Da: "Kasper, jeg er virkelig ked af det," mumlede hun og så ned i sneen.
En: "Kasper, I'm really sorry," she mumbled, looking down at the snow.

Da: Kasper tøvede et øjeblik, men så lagde han armen om hende.
En: Kasper hesitated for a moment, but then he put his arm around her.

Da: "Det er okay, Astrid.

Da: Og med tidens hjælp ville hun også finde fred med den nye familiesituation.

Da: Vinteren var hård, men som altid ville foråret komme.
En: Winter was harsh, but as always, spring would come.

Da: Og som sneen langsomt smelter, ville også hendes smerte fortage sig.
En: And as the snow slowly melts, so would her pain fade away.

Da: I skolen ved Sundet fandt Astrid sin styrke igen - i venskabet og i sig selv.
En: At the school by the Sundet, Astrid found her strength again—in friendship and in herself.
