havde arvet.En: Bjørn smiled and shared an old map he had inherited.Da: "Måske kan dette guide os mod flere hemmeligheder," sagde han.En: "Maybe this can guide us to more secrets," he said.Da: For

Transcript:Da: Det var en kold vinteraften, og sneen dalede tungt fra himlen.En: It was a cold winter evening, and the snow was falling heavily from the sky.Da: Freja gik langs muren på Kronborg Slot, hendes ånde hang i luften som små skyer.En: Freja walked along the wall of Kronborg Slot, her breath hanging in the air like small clouds.Da: Det var vintersolhverv, en speciel aften hvor slotssalen skulle fyldes med lys og tradition.En: It was the winter solstice, a special evening when the castle hall was to be filled with light and tradition.Da: Freja havde forladt den travle by for at finde roen i slottets historiske rum, omgivet af nutidens og fortidens stemmer.En: Freja had left the busy city to find peace in the castle's historic rooms, surrounded by the voices of both the present and the past.Da: Slottet glimtede i den grå vinterlys, dets tårne beklædt med iskrystaller, mens lysene fra bygningens vinduer kastede et blødt skær på den hvide sne.En: The castle shimmered in the gray winter light, its towers clad with ice crystals, while the lights from the building's windows cast a soft glow on the white snow.Da: Men naturen havde andre planer.En: But nature had other plans.Da: En pludselig storm omsluttede slottet, og vejene blev ufarbare.En: A sudden storm enveloped the castle, and the roads became impassable.Da: Freja fandt sig selv isoleret, men ikke alene, for der var andre gæster, der havde haft samme idé om at undslippe byens julestress.En: Freja found herself isolated, but not alone, for there were other guests who had the same idea of escaping the city's Christmas stress.Da: Freja trak sin varme frakke tættere om sig, mens hun bevægede sig dybere ind i slottet.En: Freja pulled her warm coat closer around herself as she moved deeper into the castle.Da: Hun besluttede sig for at udforske slottet, som hun ikke kendte så godt.En: She decided to explore the castle, which she did not know well.Da: Hun gik gennem smalle gange og store, åbne rum, hver med deres egen historie, hver fyldt med en stille ro, der gav hende fred.En: She walked through narrow corridors and large, open rooms, each with their own history, each filled with a quiet calm that gave her peace.Da: I den store festsal, der normalt ville være tom i denne tidslomme, fandt hun en lille gruppe mennesker, blandt dem Emil og Lars, to karismatiske sangere, hun havde hilset på tidligere udenfor.En: In the great banquet hall, which would normally be empty at this time, she found a small group of people, among them Emil and Lars, two charismatic singers she had greeted earlier outside.Da: Sneen havde også fanget dem her.En: The snow had also trapped them here.Da: De havde improviseret en koncert, og deres stemmer svøbt sig rundt om de kolde, stenhvælvede lofter.En: They had improvised a concert, and their voices wrapped around the cold, stone-vaulted ceilings.Da: Deres musik var som en varm omfavnelse i den kolde nat.En: Their music was like a warm embrace in the cold night.Da: Freja stod stille et øjeblik, overvældet af øjeblikkets skønhed.En: Freja stood still for a moment, overwhelmed by the beauty of the moment.Da: Musikken bragte minder frem fra hendes barndoms juler, hvor familien samledes om klaveret og sang de klassiske sange.En: The music brought back memories from her childhood Christmases, where the family gathered around the piano and sang the classic songs.Da: Lidt efter lidt smeltede hendes forbehold, og hun sluttede sig til koret.En: Little by little her reservations melted away, and she joined the choir.Da: Sangene flød gennem rummet og blandede sig med den knitrende ild fra pejsen, hvilket skabte en magisk atmosfære.En: The songs flowed through the room and mingled with the crackling fire from the fireplace, creating a magical atmosphere.Da: Da natten faldt på, var Kronborg ikke blot et slot – det var blevet et hjem, et sted for fællesskab og varme midt i vinterens kulde.En: As night fell, Kronborg was not just a castle – it had become a home, a place of fellowship and warmth amidst the winter chill.Da: Freja følte en dyb glæde, ikke kun over musikkens skønhed, men også over det uventede bånd til fremmede, der nu føltes som venner.En: Freja felt a deep joy, not only over the beauty of the music but also over the unexpected bond with strangers who now felt like friends.Da: Da stormen endelig løjede af, og stjernerne igen kunne ses på himlen, forstod Freja, at livet ofte er uforudsigeligt.En: When the storm finally subsided, and the stars could be seen in the sky once again, Freja understood that life is often unpredictable.Da: Men i det uventede er der muligheder for skønhed og forbindelse.En: But in the unexpected, there are opportunities for beauty and connection.Da: Hun gik fra slottet med et let hjerte, fuld af taknemmelighed og klar til julens fred og munterhed.En: She left the castle with a light heart, full of gratitude and ready for the peace and cheer of Christmas.

Omkring 90.000 flere danskere har købt Novo Nordisk i år, viser tal fra børsmægleren Nordnet. Dermed har tusinder af danskere formentlig mistet ret store summer på at handle i danskernes absolutte børsdarling. Vi kan ikke gentage det nok gange her på podcasten: Lad nu være med at kaste for mange penge i hjemlige aktier! Spred risikoen og kig mod udlandet. Vi taler også om helt friske nøgletal fra dansk økonomi, der bare bliver ved at med at stråle. Vi rammer formentlig et statsligt budgetoverskud på over 120 milliarder kroner og beskæftigelsen bliver ved med at stige. Til sidst taler vi om årets måske største aktietema: Forsvarsaktier. Forsvarsaktier klarede sig bedre end aktiemarkedet generelt i år og forventningen er, at der kommer til at gentage sig igen næste år.

2025 har på mange måder været et begivenhedsrigt år i dansk politik. For et år siden truede USAs nyvalgte præsident, Donald Trump, Grønland og udløste panik i regeringstoppen. Kommentatorer sagde tidligere, at ingen kunne true statsminister Mette Frederiksen. Men efter kommunalvalget står både hun og Socialdemokratiet og vakler. Nu tør de færreste udelukke et regeringssammenbrud og et snarligt Folketingsvalg. I dagens Pilestræde gør vi status over et vildt år i dansk politik.

Transcript:Da: På en kold vinterdag, hvor snefnug dalede stille ned, var Kasper og Signe i gang med at rydde op på loftet i deres afdøde bedsteforældres hyggelige bondehus i den danske provins.En: On a cold winter day, where snowflakes quietly drifted down, Kasper and Signe were busy cleaning up the attic in their late grandparents' cozy farmhouse in the Danish countryside.Da: Det var et gammelt hus, omgivet af nøgne ege og et tyndt lag sne, der glimtede i vinterlyset.En: It was an old house, surrounded by bare oaks and a thin layer of snow that glittered in the winter light.Da: Mens de ryddede op mellem de gamle trækister og støvede møbler, stødte Signe på en gammel, gulnet konvolut.En: As they cleared away among the old wooden chests and dusty furniture, Signe came across an old, yellowed envelope.Da: "Kasper, se hvad jeg har fundet," kaldte Signe, hendes stemme fyldt med undren og et strejf af håb.En: "Kasper, look what I found," called Signe, her voice filled with wonder and a hint of hope.Da: Kasper, praktisk som han var, så først kun op fra sin bunke og hævede et øjenbryn.En: Kasper, practical as he was, only looked up from his pile at first and raised an eyebrow.Da: "Det er vel bare mere affald?"En: "It's probably just more trash?"Da: spurgte han rutinemæssigt, mens han forsatte med at fylde en papkasse med ubrugelige genstande.En: he asked routinely as he continued to fill a cardboard box with useless items.Da: Signe åbnede forsigtigt konvolutten, og en foldet seddel gled ud.En: Signe carefully opened the envelope, and a folded note slipped out.Da: Da hun begyndte at læse, ændrede hendes øjne sig fra nysgerrighed til noget langt dybere.En: As she began to read, her eyes changed from curiosity to something much deeper.Da: Det var et brev fra deres bedstefar, skrevet til dem mange år før.En: It was a letter from their grandfather, written to them many years before.Da: Det handlede om hans liv på gården, hans dybe kærlighed til stedet, og hans ønsker for dets fremtid.En: It spoke about his life on the farm, his deep love for the place, and his wishes for its future.Da: Kasper stoppede op og kiggede på hende med en blanding af irritation og interesse.En: Kasper paused and looked at her with a mixture of irritation and interest.Da: "Hvad står der?"En: "What does it say?"Da: Signe tøvede først.En: Signe hesitated at first.Da: Hun vidste, hvor meget huset betød for hende, men også hvor pragmatisk Kasper var.En: She knew how much the house meant to her, but also how pragmatic Kasper was.Da: Alligevel samlede hun mod.En: Still, she gathered courage.Da: "Det er om bedstefars drømme," sagde hun blidt.En: "It's about grandpa's dreams," she said gently.Da: Hun begyndte at læse højt.En: She began to read aloud.Da: Brevet fortalte om bedstefars glade minder om hele familien samlet ved julemiddagen i køkkenet, om hans vision om, at huset skulle forblive i familien, hvor det kunne skabe nye minder i takt med generationsskiftene.En: The letter told of grandpa's happy memories of the whole family gathered at Christmas dinner in the kitchen, about his vision that the house should remain in the family, where it could create new memories through the generations.Da: Det var en kærlighedserklæring til stedet og et håb om varig forbindelse.En: It was a love letter to the place and a hope for lasting connection.Da: Kaspers ansigt blødte op, da han lyttede.En: Kasper's face softened as he listened.Da: Ordene ramte ham dybt, vækkede noget, han ikke havde forventet.En: The words struck him deeply, awakening something he hadn't expected.Da: Han kiggede rundt i loftet, på tingene fra deres barndom, og indså, at huset var mere end blot mursten og træ.En: He looked around the attic, at the things from their childhood, and realized that the house was more than just bricks and wood.Da: "Vi kan ikke sælge det," sagde Kasper til sidst, rørt, mens han trak vejret dybt ind.En: "We can't sell it," Kasper finally said, moved, as he took a deep breath.Da: "Det må være en måde at beholde det på."En: "There must be a way to keep it."Da: For første gang i dagevis smilede Signe ægte.En: For the first time in days, Signe genuinely smiled.Da: "Vi skal nok finde en løsning," bekræftede hun og betragtede sin bror med taknemmelighed.En: "We will find a solution," she confirmed, looking at her brother with gratitude.Da: De gik hånd i hånd ned ad den smalle loftstrappe, fast besluttede på at ære deres bedstefars ønsker.En: They went hand in hand down the narrow attic stairs, determined to honor their grandfather's wishes.Da: I den lune stue sad de sammen og formulerede en plan.En: In the warm living room, they sat together and formulated a plan.Da: De blev enige om at holde et familiemøde og diskutere mulige måder at håndtere gælden på uden at opgive deres elskede barndomshjem.En: They agreed to hold a family meeting and discuss possible ways to handle the debt without giving up their beloved childhood home.Da: Kasper havde lært at værdsætte sit familiearv mere, mens Signe forstod betydningen af at finde en balance mellem følelser og ansvar.En: Kasper had learned to appreciate his family heritage more, while Signe understood the importance of finding a balance between emotions and responsibility.Da: Sneen faldt stille udenfor, men inde i det gamle bondehus var alt varmt og fyldt med håbet om en lysere fremtid.En: The snow fell quietly outside, but inside the old farmhouse, everything was warm and filled with the hope of a brighter future.

houses gleamed with sparkling lights, and the frozen canal mirrored the beautiful decorations.Da: Mikkel, en ung mand med en brændende nysgerrighed, nød udsigten.En: Mikkel, a young man with a burning curiosity, enjoyed the view.Da: Han elskede mysterier og drømte ofte om at afsløre skjulte hemmeligheder.En: He loved mysteries and often dreamed of uncovering hidden secrets.Da: Denne aften ventede en gådefuld skygge på ham.En: This evening, a mysterious shadow awaited him.Da: Hver gang han kiggede ud på isen, så han noget mystisk i refleksionen.En: Every time he looked out at the ice, he saw something mysterious in the reflection.Da: "Freja," kaldte han på sin ven, som stod ved siden af ham.En: "Freja," he called to his friend, who stood next to him.Da: "Ser du også skyggen derude?"En: "Do you see the shadow out there too?"Da: Freja rystede på hovedet og sukkede.En: Freja shook her head and sighed.Da: "Mikkel, du ser skygger, hvor der ingen er," svarede hun pragmatisk.En: "Mikkel, you see shadows where there are none," she replied pragmatically.Da: Hun vidste, at når Mikkel først fik en ide, lod han ikke let det ligge.En: She knew that once Mikkel got an idea, he wouldn't easily let it go.Da: Men Mikkel kunne ikke slippe det.En: But Mikkel couldn't shake it off.Da: Han ville finde sandheden.En: He wanted to find the truth.Da: Historikeren Soren, som kendte alt til Nyhavns historie, kunne måske give svar.En: The historian Soren, who knew everything about Nyhavn's history, might be able to provide answers.Da: Men Soren var hemmelighedsfuld.En: But Soren was secretive.Da: Han talte sjældent om fortiden uden forbehold.En: He rarely talked about the past without reservations.Da: "Jeg vil tale med Soren," besluttede Mikkel bestemt.En: "I want to talk to Soren," Mikkel decided firmly.Da: "Han ved noget, jeg er sikker."En: "He knows something, I'm sure."Da: Freja skubbede let til ham.En: Freja nudged him gently.Da: "Det er jul, Mikkel.En: "It's Christmas, Mikkel.Da: Nyd det nu.En: Enjoy it now.Da: Lad mysteriet vente."En: Let the mystery wait."Da: Men Mikkel kunne ikke lade det ligge.En: But Mikkel couldn't let it go.Da: Sent om natten opsøgte han Soren, mens julefesterne stadig lyste op i byen.En: Late at night, he sought out Soren, while the Christmas festivities still lit up the city.Da: Nyhavn var magisk i natten, og sneen knirkede under hans støvler.En: Nyhavn was magical at night, and the snow creaked under his boots.Da: Endelig stod Mikkel foran Soren.En: Finally, Mikkel stood before Soren.Da: "Jeg har brug for at vide om skyggen på kanalen," sagde han.En: "I need to know about the shadow on the canal," he said.Da: Soren tøvede, men til sidst nikkede han langsomt.En: Soren hesitated, but finally nodded slowly.Da: "Den skygge," begyndte Soren, "kan være forbundet til gamle dage, til en tid byen næsten har glemt."En: "That shadow," Soren began, "may be connected to old times, to a period the city has almost forgotten."Da: Mikkel lyttede, men i det samme kom Freja løbende.En: Mikkel listened, but just then, Freja came running.Da: Hun havde noget i hånden.En: She had something in her hand.Da: "Se," sagde hun ivrigt.En: "Look," she said eagerly.Da: "Jeg fandt dette gamle kort over Nyhavn!En: "I found this old map of Nyhavn!Da: Det viser, hvordan lysene fra dekorationerne kan skabe skygger på en særlig måde."En: It shows how the lights from the decorations can create shadows in a special way."Da: Det gik op for Mikkel, at det hele var et optisk fænomen.En: Mikkel realized that it was all an optical phenomenon.Da: Ingen spøgelser eller glemte legender.En: No ghosts or forgotten legends.Da: Bare en naturlig begivenhed midt i julelysene og de historiske bygninger.En: Just a natural event amidst the Christmas lights and historical buildings.Da: Mikkel følte både lettelse og lidt skuffelse.En: Mikkel felt both relief and a bit of disappointment.Da: Det var ikke en stor afsløring, men en lærerig oplevelse.En: It wasn't a big revelation, but a learning experience.Da: Og han lærte, at venner og fælles juletraditioner kunne være lige så vigtige som mystiske eventyr.En: And he learned that friends and shared Christmas traditions could be just as important as mysterious adventures.Da: Da han gik tilbage gennem Nyhavn, vidste han, at han ville huske denne juleaften.En: As he walked back through Nyhavn, he knew he would remember this Christmas Eve.Da: Sneen faldt blidt, og han lovede sig selv at veje sin nysgerrighed med forsigtighed.En: The snow fell gently, and he promised himself to weigh his curiosity with caution.Da: Det gjaldt at værdsætte de små øjeblikke sammen med dem, man holdt af, især i julens glitrende skær.En: It was about appreciating the small moments with those you care about, especially in the glittering glow of Christmas.

Transcript:Da: Det var en kold vinterdag i København, hvor snefnuggene blidt dalede ned over Nyhavns julemarked.En: It was a cold winter day in København, where the snowflakes gently fell over Nyhavn's Christmas market.Da: Boderne lyste op i mørket med farverige lamper, og duften af kanelsnegle og ristede mandler fyldte luften.En: The stalls lit up the darkness with colorful lamps, and the scent of cinnamon rolls and roasted almonds filled the air.Da: Midt i denne juleidyl, blandt travle handlende, var Freja – en passioneret fotograf på jagt efter den perfekte vinteroptagelse.En: Amidst this Christmas idyll, among busy shoppers, was Freja—a passionate photographer in search of the perfect winter shot.Da: Freja stoppede op og kiggede omkring sig.En: Freja stopped and looked around her.Da: Hun kunne mærke presset for at finde det helt rigtige motiv til sin kommende fotoserie.En: She could feel the pressure to find just the right subject for her upcoming photo series.Da: Hendes søster, Signe, havde været på den igen, insisterende på, at Freja også skulle finde plads til kærlighed midt i sine kreative drømme.En: Her sister, Signe, had been at it again, insisting that Freja also make room for love amid her creative dreams.Da: Men Freja kunne ikke se sig fri til at balancere både kærlighed og passion, trods Signes evindelige påmindelser.En: But Freja couldn't see a way to balance both love and passion, despite Signe's constant reminders.Da: Hun tog en dyb indånding og besluttede sig for at tage en pause.En: She took a deep breath and decided to take a break.Da: Med sit kamera tæt ved hånden begyndte hun at gå fra bod til bod, fascineret af de mange farver og den glade summen af stemmer.En: With her camera close at hand, she began to stroll from stall to stall, fascinated by the many colors and the cheerful hum of voices.Da: Det var her hun opdagede Mikkel.En: It was here she discovered Mikkel.Da: Mikkel stod ved sin bod, med en skarp fokus på at sælge dampende varme æbleskiver og gløgg til de forbipasserende.En: Mikkel stood at his stall, with a sharp focus on selling steaming hot æbleskiver and gløgg to the passersby.Da: Han arbejdede ekstra hårdt i ferien for at kunne give sin søster den perfekte fødselsdagsgave.En: He was working extra hard over the holidays to be able to give his sister the perfect birthday gift.Da: Og netop som Freja stoppede op foran hans bod, slukkede lyskæderne omkring ham pludseligt, hvilket kastede boden i mørke.En: And just as Freja stopped in front of his stall, the string lights around him suddenly went out, plunging the stall into darkness.Da: Uden at tøve trådte Freja til.En: Without hesitation, Freja stepped in.Da: "Kan jeg hjælpe?"En: "Can I help?"Da: spurgte hun og pegede på de slukkede lamper.En: she asked, pointing at the extinguished lights.Da: Mikkel smilede taknemmeligt og sammen begyndte de at vikle lysene ud og ind til det lille stik på siden af boden.En: Mikkel smiled gratefully, and together they began untangling the lights and connecting them to the small outlet at the side of the stall.Da: Imens de arbejdede, delte de historier og latter under de snedækkede tage.En: As they worked, they shared stories and laughter under the snow-covered awnings.Da: Mikkel, med sine lidenskabelige fortællinger om sin familie, fik Freja til at grine på en måde, hun ikke havde gjort længe.En: Mikkel, with his passionate tales about his family, made Freja laugh in a way she hadn't in a long time.Da: Det føltes som om de lys, der blev repareret, også tændte noget mellem dem.En: It felt as if the lights being repaired also kindled something between them.Da: De skålede i æblecider og mærkede den pludselige varme fra deres nyfundne forbindelse.En: They toasted with apple cider and felt the sudden warmth of their newfound connection.Da: I det øjeblik så Freja noget igennem sin linse, der ikke kun var perfekt, men også ægte.En: In that moment, Freja saw something through her lens that was not only perfect but also genuine.Da: Hun fangede et øjebliksbillede af Mikkel, der, under de netop tændte julelys, smilede varmt.En: She captured a snapshot of Mikkel who, under the newly lit Christmas lights, was smiling warmly.Da: Det var fotografiet, hun vidste, ville fuldføre hendes serie.En: It was the photograph she knew would complete her series.Da: Som markedet lukkede, delte Freja billedet med Mikkel.En: As the market closed, Freja shared the picture with Mikkel.Da: De udvekslede telefonnumre og aftalte at mødes snart igen.En: They exchanged phone numbers and agreed to meet again soon.Da: For første gang så Freja, at inspiration ikke kun kom fra skønheden omkring hende, men også fra de mennesker, hun mødte.En: For the first time, Freja saw that inspiration came not only from the beauty around her but also from the people she met.Da: Og i det voksende vintermørke, gik Freja hjem, helt glad, med visheden om, at nogle forbindelser var ligeså vigtige som den kunst, hun elskede.En: And in the growing winter darkness, Freja went home, completely happy, with the knowledge that some connections were just as important as the art she loved.Da:

Transcript:Da: Vinteren havde kastet sit iskolde slør over den danske landskab, og sneen lå tungt langs vejene.En: Winter had cast its icy veil over the Danish landscape, and the snow lay heavy along the roads.Da: Kasper og Sofie var på en road trip gennem det smukke, men barske danske landskab.En: Kasper and Sofie were on a road trip through the beautiful but harsh Danish countryside.Da: De var på vej til deres familiejulefest på landet, men pludselig var noget vigtigt forsvundet.En: They were on their way to their family Christmas party in the countryside, but suddenly something important was missing.Da: Kasper satte sig op i bilen, som stod stille ved siden af den sneklædte vej.En: Kasper sat up in the car, which stood still by the snow-covered road.Da: Han så ind i sneen, som bevægede sig sidelæns i vindens skarpe kaskader.En: He looked into the snow, which moved sideways in the sharp gusts of the wind.Da: "Mit ur," sagde han lavmælt, og hans stemme rystede, ikke af kulde, men af bekymring.En: "My watch," he said softly, and his voice trembled, not from the cold, but from concern.Da: "Det er væk."En: "It's gone."Da: Sofie så hen på ham, hendes øjne fulde af forståelse, men også med et glimt af deres sædvanlige optimisme.En: Sofie looked at him, her eyes full of understanding, but also with a glint of their usual optimism.Da: "Vi finder det," sagde hun beroligende.En: "We'll find it," she said reassuringly.Da: "Lad os tænke praktisk.En: "Let's think practically.Da: Vi bør spørge folk i landsbyerne."En: We should ask people in the villages."Da: Kasper rystede på hovedet, hans blik fast besluttet.En: Kasper shook his head, his gaze determined.Da: "Vi retracerer vores skridt.En: "We retrace our steps.Da: Vi mister tid, hvis vi gør noget andet."En: We'll lose time if we do anything else."Da: De to sad i stilhed, hver indhyllet i tankerne om, hvordan de bedst skulle finde det savnede ur.En: The two sat in silence, each enveloped in thoughts of how best to find the missing watch.Da: Kasper, dybt sentimental, kunne ikke forestille sig jul uden sin bedstefars gamle armbåndsur.En: Kasper, deeply sentimental, couldn't imagine Christmas without his grandfather's old wristwatch.Da: Det var en tradition, en kæde der bandt ham til fortiden.En: It was a tradition, a chain that tied him to the past.Da: Sofie, dog, mente, at de kunne drage nytte af de lokale indbyggeres viden og hjælpsomhed.En: Sofie, however, believed they could benefit from the local residents' knowledge and helpfulness.Da: "Jeg ved, det betyder meget for dig," sagde hun forsigtigt.En: "I know it means a lot to you," she said cautiously.Da: "Men vi må samarbejde om det her."En: "But we have to work together on this."Da: Så fortsatte de deres rejse, og den lille bil drev gennem nabolandsbyerne, hvert sted deres hjul rullede forbi, pakkede tankerne ind i nye planer.En: So they continued their journey, and the little car drifted through the neighboring villages, each place their wheels rolled past wrapped their thoughts in new plans.Da: Som mørket faldt, og sneen tiltog i styrke, følte de sig lidt modløse.En: As darkness fell, and the snow increased in strength, they felt a bit discouraged.Da: Pludselig så Sofie noget gennem frontruden.En: Suddenly Sofie saw something through the windshield.Da: En lille, hyggelig kro lå forude, oplyst af gyldne lys, der flimrede velkomment.En: A small, cozy inn lay ahead, illuminated by golden lights that flickered welcomingly.Da: De genkendte det straks som kroen, hvor de havde tilbragt natten under sneens første ankomst.En: They recognized it immediately as the inn where they had spent the night during the first snowfall.Da: Med et glimt af ny håb gik de ind.En: With a glimmer of new hope, they went inside.Da: Indenfor var der varmt, en duft af brændende træ fyldte luften, og en venlig kroejer hilste dem med en varm velkomst.En: Inside it was warm, the scent of burning wood filled the air, and a friendly innkeeper greeted them with a warm welcome.Da: Sofie, aldrig bange for en fremmed, gik imod ham og spurgte direkte om uret.En: Sofie, never afraid of a stranger, approached him and asked directly about the watch.Da: Kroejerens smil udvidede sig, og han rakte bag disken og trak en velkendt lille æske frem.En: The innkeeper's smile widened, and he reached behind the counter and pulled out a familiar small box.Da: "Er dette, hvad I leder efter?"En: "Is this what you're looking for?"Da: spurgte han med et glimt i øjet.En: he asked with a glint in his eye.Da: Kasper var målløs, men glæden fyldte hurtigt hans ansigt.En: Kasper was speechless, but joy quickly filled his face.Da: Det var hans bedstefars ur, præcis som han huskede det.En: It was his grandfather's watch, just as he remembered it.Da: "Hvordan fandt du det?"En: "How did you find it?"Da: spurgte han, stadig forvirret.En: he asked, still confused.Da: "En af stuepigerne fandt det nær jeres værelse og tænkte, det var glemt," svarede kroejeren.En: "One of the maids found it near your room and thought it was forgotten," the innkeeper replied.Da: "Vi gemte det, i håbet om, at nogen ville komme for at hente det."En: "We kept it, hoping someone would come to retrieve it."Da: Kasper indså, hvad Sofie havde sagt hele tiden, at man ikke altid kan gøre alting alene.En: Kasper realized what Sofie had been saying all along, that one can't always do everything alone.Da: Han omfavnede hende med et varmt smil.En: He embraced her with a warm smile.Da: "Din idé om at spørge folk var god.En: "Your idea of asking people was good.Da: Jeg skulle have lyttet tidligere."En: I should have listened earlier."Da: Med uret sikkert tilbage om hans håndled følte han en ro, han ikke havde haft hele dagen.En: With the watch securely back on his wrist, he felt a peace he hadn't had all day.Da: De to rejste videre, sikre på at julemagi også fandtes i folks hjerte.En: The two traveled on, assured that Christmas magic also existed in people's hearts.Da: Julenat, da de nåede frem til familien, føltes alle de mistede timer som et fjernt minde.En: On Christmas Eve, when they arrived at the family home, all the lost hours felt like a distant memory.Da: Kasper havde fundet sit ur, men også noget vigtigere: en dybere forståelse af værdien af samarbejde og tillid.En: Kasper had found his watch, but also something more important: a deeper understanding of the value of cooperation and trust.Da: Det sneede stadig udenfor, men indenfor var der varmt og lyst, præcis som hjerterne i julesæsonen.En: It was still snowing outside, but indoors it was warm and bright, just like the hearts during the Christmas season.
