Sv: Snön föll tungt över skogen.

Sv: Nils, parkvaktaren, knackade på dörren.

Sv: "Vi borde bygga en eld," föreslog han.

En: Nils talked about his workdays.

Sv: Han försökte lugna henne.
En: He tried to calm her.

Sv: Men Elin hörde inte på.
En: But Elin didn't listen.

Sv: Hon tänkte bara på snömängden.
En: She was only thinking about the amount of snow.

Sv: Taket knarrade oroväckande under tyngden.
En: The roof creaked ominously under the weight.

Sv: Plötsligt en hög smäll.
En: Suddenly a loud crash.

Sv: Taket hotade att ge vika.
En: The roof threatened to give way.

Sv: De båda störtade upp.
En: They both sprang up.

Sv: Sedan log Elin.
En: Then Elin smiled.

Sv: "Tack," sa hon försiktigt.
En: "Thank you," she said cautiously.

Sv: "Jag behöver kanske inte alltid vara ensam."
En: "Maybe I don't always need to be alone."

Sv: Nils log tillbaka, kände en värme spridas i honom.
En: Nils smiled back, feeling a warmth spread within him.

Sv: "Äventyr är bättre tillsammans," svarade han.
