Story Transcript:

Da: I København var der to personer ved navn Lars og Signe.
En: In Copenhagen there were two people named Lars and Signe.

Da: De elskede at have det sjovt og gøre grin med hinanden.
En: They loved to have fun and make fun of each other.

Da: En dag bestemte de sig for at udfordre sig selv til at udtale det danske ord "rødgrød med fløde" foran en stor mængde mennesker.
En: One day they decided to challenge themselves to pronounce the Danish word "red grød med fløde" in front of a large crowd of people.

Da: Lars og Signe var begge nervøse, men de gav ikke op.
En: Lars and Signe were both nervous, but they did not give up.

Da: De gik ind i en park, hvor masser af mennesker holdt picnic.
En: They walked into a park where lots of people were having a picnic.

Da: Lars tog en dyb indånding og begyndte at sige ordet.
En: Lars took a deep breath and began to say the word.

Da: Han sagde: "Grødød myst føde?"
En: He said, "Poor dead myst food?"

Da: Alle menneskerne kiggede forvirrede på hinanden.
En: All the people looked at each other in confusion.

Da: Lars havde næsten sagt det rigtigt, men ordene var forvredet.
En: Lars had almost said it correctly, but the words were garbled.

Da: Signe kunne ikke stoppe med at grine.
En: Signe couldn't stop laughing.

Da: Hun tog fat i Lars' skuldre og sagde: "Lars, det var ikke helt rigtigt.
En: She grabbed Lars' shoulders and said: "Lars, that wasn't quite right.

Da: Prøv igen!"
En: Try again!"

Da: Lars tog mod til sig og sagde: "Flød med rødged?"
En: Lars plucked up courage and said: "Floed with red goat?"

Da: Nu begyndte alle at grine højlydt.
En: Now everyone started laughing loudly.

Da: Lars og Signe lo også.
En: Lars and Signe also laughed.

Da: Det var ikke perfekt, men det var sjovt.
En: It wasn't perfect, but it was fun.

Da: De standsede ikke der.
En: They didn't stop there.

Da: De fortsatte med at forsøge at sige ordet igen og igen.
En: They continued to try to say the word over and over again.

Da: Hver gang blev det mere og mere sjovt.
En: Each time it became more and more fun.

Da: Nogle af menneskerne i parken begyndte at synge en sjov melodi, der går: "Rødgrød med fløde, se hvor det bløder".
En: Some of the people in the park started singing a funny tune that goes: "Red porridge with cream, see where it bleeds".

Da: En ældre dame gik hen til dem og sagde: "Hvad handler alt det sjov om?"
En: An elderly lady walked up to them and said, "What's all the fun about?"

Da: Lars og Signe forklarede, at de bare ville have det sjovt og lave noget sjovt i parken.
En: Lars and Signe explained that they just wanted to have fun and do something fun in the park.

Da: Damen grinede og sagde: "I er et eventyr i jer selv.
En: The lady laughed and said, "You are an adventure in yourselves.

Da: Jeg har det sjovt bare ved at se jer."
En: I am having fun just watching you."

Da: Lars og Signe blev glade og fortsatte med at lave sjov.
En: Lars and Signe were happy and continued to joke.

Da: De sagde ordet igen og igen, indtil de fik det rigtigt.
En: They said the word over and over until they got it right.

Da: Til sidst råbte de begge i kor: "Rødgrød med fløde!"
En: Finally they both shouted in unison: "Red porridge with cream!"

Da: Menneskerne omkring dem klappede og lo højlydt.
En: The people around them clapped and laughed loudly.

Da: Det var en fantastisk følelse for Lars og Signe.
En: It was a fantastic feeling for Lars and Signe.

Da: De havde gjort alle glade og fået dem til at grine.
En: They had made everyone happy and made them laugh.

Da: Da dagen var slut, og solen gik ned, satte Lars og Signe sig på en bænk i parken.
En: When the day was over and the sun was setting, Lars and Signe sat down on a bench in the park.

Da: De var trætte, men glade.
En: They were tired but happy.

Da: De havde overvundet deres udfordring og skabt glæde for sig selv og andre.
En: They had overcome their challenge and brought joy to themselves and others.

Da: Lars lagde sin arm om Signe og sagde: "Signe, vi er et fantastisk hold.
En: Lars put his arm around Signe and said: "Signe, we are a fantastic team.

Da: Vi kan klare alt sammen."
En: We can do anything together."

Da: Signe smilede og nikkede.
En: Signe smiled and nodded.

Da: "Ja, Lars, vi har det sjovt sammen."
En: "Yes, Lars, we have fun together."

Da: Og med det begyndte de at gå hjem, lykkelige over den sjove dag, de havde haft.
En: And with that they started walking home, happy about the fun day they had had.

Da: I deres hjerter vidste de, at de altid ville være der for hinanden og skabe glæde, uanset hvad der kom deres vej.
En: In their hearts they knew they would always be there for each other and bring joy no matter what came their way.
