Story Transcript:

Sv: Mitt i den brännande sommaren, i hjärtat av Stockholm, hade vi Erik.
En: In the midst of the scorching summer, in the heart of Stockholm, we had Erik.

Sv: Han var en tjock, skäggig man med ett stort leende och stor kärlek till snö.
En: He was a fat, bearded man with a big smile and a great love for snow.

Sv: Varför en snöälskare bodde i en stad utan snö, det förstod aldrig folk.
En: Why a snow lover lived in a city without snow, people never understood.

Sv: Erik bodde i en liten lägenhet nära Observatorielunden.
En: Erik lived in a small apartment near Observatorielunden.

Sv: Varje dag gick han till parken.
En: Every day he would go to the park.

Sv: Han tyckte om att sitta i skuggan av ett träd och drömma om snö.
En: He enjoyed sitting in the shade of a tree and dreaming about snow.

Sv: Men på grund av värmeböljan var det ingen snö.
En: But because of the heatwave, there was no snow.

Sv: En dag bestämde sig Erik för att köpa en snöskyffel.
En: One day Erik decided to buy a snow shovel.

Sv: Han gick till en affär som hette Valhall.
En: He went to a store called Valhall.

Sv: Det var en stor affär för utomhussaker.
En: It was a large store for outdoor items.

Sv: Men ingen ville köpa en snöskyffel när det var så varmt.
En: But no one wanted to buy a snow shovel when it was so hot.

Sv: Erik gick fram till affärsägaren, en tunn man med en röd keps.
En: Erik approached the store owner, a thin man with a red cap.

Sv: Han sa till mannen att han ville köpa en snöskyffel.
En: He told the man that he wanted to buy a snow shovel.

Sv: Mannen tittade på Erik och skrattade.
En: The man looked at Erik and laughed.

Sv: Ingen annan än Erik skulle vilja ha en snöskyffel under värmeböljan.
En: No one else but Erik would want a snow shovel during the heatwave.

Sv: Mannen sa: "Om du kan hitta en snöskyffel här, kan du ta den".
En: The man said, "If you can find a snow shovel here, you can take it."

Sv: Erik nickade och började leta.
En: Erik nodded and started searching.

Sv: Affären var väldigt stor med många saker.
En: The store was very big with many items.

Sv: Men Erik gick runt och kollade alla hyllor.
En: But Erik went around and checked all the shelves.

Sv: Till slut hittade han en snöskyffel.
En: Finally, he found a snow shovel.

Sv: Den var gammal och dammig, men det gjorde inget för Erik.
En: It was old and dusty, but it didn't matter to Erik.

Sv: Han tog snöskyffeln och betalade för den.
En: He took the snow shovel and paid for it.

Sv: Affärsägaren skakade på huvudet men tog emot Eriks pengar.
En: The store owner shook his head but accepted Erik's money.

Sv: Erik gick tillbaka till parken.
En: Erik returned to the park.

Sv: I värmen satte han sig under sitt träd.
En: In the heat, he sat under his tree.

Sv: Hans nya snöskyffel låg bredvid honom.
En: His new snow shovel lay beside him.

Sv: Han skrattade och tänkte på snö.
En: He laughed and thought about snow.

Sv: Han var glad.
En: He was happy.

Sv: Erik var inte ledsen att det inte var snö.
En: Erik wasn't sad that there was no snow.

Sv: Nu hade han en snöskyffel, och det var nog för honom.
En: Now he had a snow shovel, and that was enough for him.

Sv: I den brännande sommaren, i hjärtat av Stockholm, satt en man och drömde om snö.
En: In the midst of the scorching summer, in the heart of Stockholm, a man sat and dreamed about snow.

Sv: Han höll sin snöskyffel och väntade på vintern.
En: He held his snow shovel and waited for winter.

Sv: Erik visade att man kan hitta lycka i små saker.
En: Erik showed that one can find happiness in small things.

Sv: Även om världen omkring oss är varm och solig, kan vi ha snö i våra hjärtan om vi vill.
En: Even if the world around us is warm and sunny, we can have snow in our hearts if we want.

Sv: Som Erik, kan vi alla hitta vår egen snöskyffel.
En: Like Erik, we can all find our own snow shovel.
