Story Transcript:

Da: Jens gik gennem indgangen til Tivoli.
En: Jens walked through the entrance to Tivoli.

Da: Det var vinter, og julelysene blinkede i sneen, der var faldet tidligere om dagen.
En: It was winter, and the Christmas lights were twinkling in the snow that had fallen earlier that day.

Da: Han trak hans halstørklæde tættere omkring sig og lod blikket vandre.
En: He pulled his scarf tighter around him and let his gaze wander.

Da: Sneen dalede ned i store, stille fnug og lagde sig som et hvidt tæppe over alting.
En: The snow was falling in large, quiet flakes and lay like a white blanket over everything.

Da: Hans klasse var på udflugt til Tivoli.
En: His class was on a field trip to Tivoli.

Da: Det var en tradition, de gjorde hvert år i december.
En: It was a tradition they did every year in December.

Da: Han havde glædet sig, men også været nervøs.
En: He had been looking forward to it but was also nervous.

Da: Især fordi Sofie også var med.
En: Especially because Sofie was there too.

Da: Jens beundrede Sofie, hendes smil, hendes energi.
En: Jens admired Sofie, her smile, her energy.

Da: Alligevel havde han sjældent vovet at tale med hende, mere end nødvendigt.
En: Yet he had rarely dared to speak to her more than necessary.

Da: Men denne gang havde han besluttet sig for, at det skulle være anderledes.
En: But this time, he had decided it would be different.

Da: Snevejret blev pludselig til en storm.
En: The snowfall suddenly turned into a storm.

Da: Alle de andre begyndte at løbe mod udgangen for at finde ly, men Jens og Sofie blev tilbage.
En: Everyone else began running toward the exit to find shelter, but Jens and Sofie stayed behind.

Da: De havde stået og set på den oplyste rutsjebane, da snestormen ramte.
En: They had been watching the illuminated roller coaster when the snowstorm hit.

Da: "Kom, Jens!"
En: "Come on, Jens!"

Da: råbte Sofie med et grin, og de tog hinandens hænder for ikke at miste hinanden af syne i snekaoset.
En: shouted Sofie with a laugh, and they took each other's hands so as not to lose sight of each other in the snow chaos.

Da: De fandt endelig ly i en lille, hyggelig café inde i Tivoli.
En: They finally found shelter in a small, cozy café inside Tivoli.

Da: Det duftede af varm kakao og brunkager.
En: It smelled of hot cocoa and ginger cookies.

Da: De satte sig ved et bord ved vinduet og bestilte noget at drikke.
En: They sat at a table by the window and ordered something to drink.

Da: Jens var nervøs.
En: Jens was nervous.

Da: Hans hjerte bankede hurtigt.
En: His heart was beating fast.

Da: Men Sofie smilede bare til ham og sagde, "Det er smukt, ikke?
En: But Sofie just smiled at him and said, "It's beautiful, isn't it?

Da: Alt den sne.
En: All that snow.

Da: Jeg elsker det."
En: I love it."

Da: Jens nikkede og tog en dyb indånding.
En: Jens nodded and took a deep breath.

Da: "Ja," sagde han lavmælt, "også jeg.
En: "Yes," he said softly, "me too.

Da: Og jeg elsker også julen."
En: And I also love Christmas."

Da: De talte længe, mens snefnuggene dalede udenfor.
En: They talked for a long time while the snowflakes fell outside.

Da: Jens åbnede op og fortalte historier fra barndommen, om hans familiejuletraditioner, hans passion for fotografering.
En: Jens opened up and shared stories from his childhood, about his family Christmas traditions, his passion for photography.

Da: Sofie lyttede og delte sine egne juleeventyr.
En: Sofie listened and shared her own Christmas adventures.

Da: Hun fortalte om dengang, hun lavede sneengle med sin lillebror og grinede.
En: She told about the time she made snow angels with her little brother and laughed.

Da: I takt med at sneen stilnede af, følte Jens sig langsomt mere rolig.
En: As the snow calmed down, Jens slowly felt more at ease.

Da: Han smilede til Sofie, og hun greb hans hånd, da de gik tilbage mod julestemningen udenfor.
En: He smiled at Sofie, and she took his hand as they went back out to the Christmas atmosphere outside.

Da: Snart fandt de deres klassekammerater, som havde ventet bekymret på dem.
En: Soon they found their classmates, who had been waiting worriedly for them.

Da: Da de gik hjemad den aften, vidste Jens, at noget i ham havde ændret sig.
En: As they walked home that evening, Jens knew something within him had changed.

Da: Han følte sig lettere, gladere.
En: He felt lighter, happier.

Da: Han havde turde tage chancen, og Sofie var der stadig, ved hans side.
En: He had dared to take the chance, and Sofie was still there by his side.

Da: Det havde været en magisk dag i Tivoli.
En: It had been a magical day in Tivoli.

Da: Og Jens ville altid huske, hvordan snevejret havde givet ham modet til at tale med Sofie, og hvordan det bragte dem tættere sammen.
En: And Jens would always remember how the snowstorm had given him the courage to talk to Sofie, and how it brought them closer together.
