gently falling from the trees in the quiet suburban neighborhood.Da: Solen kastede et blødt lys hen over hendes spisestue, hvor lysene var tændt, og bordet var pænt dækket.En: The sun cast a soft light across her dining room, where the lights were on, and the table was neatly set.Da: Hun smilte til sig selv.En: She smiled to herself.Da: Middagen var klar, og hun glædede sig til en hyggelig aften med sin lille familie og sin bror Mikkel, der var på besøg fra København.En: The dinner was ready, and she looked forward to a cozy evening with her small family and her brother Mikkel, who was

Freja placed the food on the table and said, "Enjoy your meal, everyone."Da: De begyndte at spise, og stemningen var afslappet, fyldt med latter og historier om Mikkels seneste eventyr i storbyen.En: They began to eat, and the atmosphere was relaxed, filled with laughter and stories of Mikkel's latest adventures in the big city.Da: Men pludselig ændrede alt sig.En: But suddenly everything changed.Da: Signe begyndte at hoste voldsomt.En: Signe began to cough violently.Da: "Mor, jeg har det ikke godt," kvækkede hun og greb om sin hals.En: "Mom, I don't feel well," she croaked, grabbing her throat.Da: Frejas hjerte sprang et slag over.En: Freja's heart skipped a beat.Da: Allergiske reaktioner var ikke nyt for Signe, men det var sjældent de kom så pludseligt og voldsomt.En: Allergic reactions weren't new for Signe, but it was rare for them to come on so suddenly and violently.Da: "Mikkel!"En: "Mikkel!"Da: sagde Freja hastigt, "Ring til 112 nu!"En: said Freja hastily, "Call 112 now!"Da: Han sprang op fra sin stol og greb sin telefon, men han tøvede, da han indså, at han ikke kendte stedets adresse.En: He jumped up from his chair and grabbed his phone, but hesitated when he realized he didn't know the address of the place.Da: Freja forblev rolig, trods panikken der truede med at overmande hende.En: Freja remained calm, despite the panic threatening to overwhelm her.Da: "Det er på skærmen i entréen," instruerede hun, mens hun hurtigt tog fat i førstehjælpskassen.En: "It's on the screen in the entryway," she instructed, while quickly grabbing the first aid kit.Da:

quickly approached.Da: Just som Signe's tilstand blev værre, dukkede det medicinske personale op ved døren.En: Just as Signe's condition worsened, the medical personnel appeared at the door.Da: Tiden føltes som en evighed, men de professionelle trådte hurtigt til og gav Signe den nødvendige behandling.En: Time felt like an eternity, but the professionals quickly stepped in and provided Signe with the necessary treatment.Da: Freja kunne endelig trække vejret dybt igen.En: Freja could finally breathe deeply again.Da: Mens Signe blev stabiliseret, samledes alle omkring hende.En: As Signe was stabilized, everyone gathered around her.Da: Deres hjerter bankede stadig hurtigt, men der var en fælles følelse af lettelse.En: Their hearts were still racing, but there was a shared feeling of relief.Da: "Du klarede det godt, søs," sagde Mikkel stille og klappede Freja på skulderen.En: "You did well, sis," said Mikkel quietly, patting Freja on the shoulder.Da: Da de alle sad sammen efter lidt tid, mærkede Freja en ny styrke indeni sig selv.En: As they all sat together after a while, Freja felt a new strength within herself.Da: Forsamlingen, der engang bare skulle være en hyggelig middag, viste sig at være en stærk påmindelse om familie og det bånd, der binder dem.En: The gathering, which was once just meant to be a cozy dinner, turned out to be a strong reminder of family and the bond that ties them.Da: Mikkel talte tint om at blive i et par dage for at hjælpe til, og Freja vidste nu, at uanset udfordringerne, kunne de klare dem sammen.En: Mikkel spoke tentatively about staying for a few days to help out, and Freja now knew that no matter the challenges, they could face them together.Da: Aftenen blev indhyllet i efterårsbladene igen, men den kærlighed og beslutsomhed, der var vokset, lyste klart i deres lille hjem.En: The evening was enveloped in autumn leaves again, but the love and determination that had grown shone brightly in their little home.

Transcript:Da: Mikkel kiggede ud over de gyldne trætoppe på Bornholm.En: Mikkel looked out over the golden treetops on Bornholm.Da: Solen skinnede gennem de tynde skyer, og en let brise svævede over retreatcentret.En: The sun shone through the thin clouds, and a gentle breeze wafted over the retreat center.Da: Inde i den hyggelige hovedsal var gulvet dækket af bløde puder, og duften af brændende røgelse fyldte luften.En: Inside the cozy main hall, the floor was covered with soft cushions, and the scent of burning incense filled the air.Da: Mikkel var kommet her for at finde ro, væk fra hans hektiske liv som konsulent.En: Mikkel had come here to find peace, away from his hectic life as a consultant.Da: Tre nye mennesker skulle introduceres i dagens meditationssession.En: Three new people were to be introduced in today's meditation session.Da: Freja, en livsglad kunstner, ledte efter inspiration, og Kasper, en minutiøs kok, var der for at forbedre sin meditationspraksis.En: Freja, a life-loving artist, was searching for inspiration, and Kasper, a meticulous chef, was there to improve his meditation practice.Da: De havde alle fundet sig til rette på puder, klar til hvile.En: They had all settled on cushions, ready to relax.Da: Men der var et lille problem.En: But there was a small problem.Da: Instruktøren, som normalt ledede sessionerne, var forsinket.En: The instructor, who normally led the sessions, was delayed.Da: Deltagerne stirrede nysgerrigt på Mikkel, som sad med lukkede øjne forrest i rummet.En: The participants stared curiously at Mikkel, who sat with closed eyes at the front of the room.Da: Med sit jordfarvet tøj og beroligende udstråling lignede han præcis meditationens instruktør.En: With his earth-toned clothing and calming presence, he looked precisely like the meditation instructor.Da: Misforståelsen opstod, og snart hviskede folk om, hvorvidt Mikkel skulle starte sessionen.En: The misunderstanding arose, and soon people whispered about whether Mikkel should start the session.Da: Mikkel bemærkede den lydløse diskussion omkring sig, og før han vidste det, pegede Freja venligt og sagde: "Skal vi begynde?"En: Mikkel noticed the silent discussion around him, and before he knew it, Freja gently pointed and said: "Shall we begin?"Da: Mikkel blev forbløffet, men der var noget underholdende ved situationen.En: Mikkel was astonished, but there was something amusing about the situation.Da: Han smilede for sig selv og besluttede at spille med.En: He smiled to himself and decided to play along.Da: Han trak vejret dybt og talte: "Forestil jer, at I svæver på et blødt skyer af latter."En: He took a deep breath and spoke: "Imagine you are floating on a soft cloud of laughter."Da: Det var ikke en typisk start, men snart spredte små smil sig blandt gruppen.En: It was not a typical start, but soon small smiles spread among the group.Da: Kasper åbnede det ene øje over sin fulde koncentration.En: Kasper opened one eye over his full concentration.Da: "Forestil jer, at hver udfordring smelter væk med latter," Mikkel fortsatte.En: "Imagine every challenge melting away with laughter," Mikkel continued.Da: En gennemgående lattermildhed bredte sig blandt deltagerne.En: A pervasive sense of amusement spread among the participants.Da: Peberet af humor gjorde, at alle slap lidt af og opnåede en sjælden form for ro.En: The sprinkle of humor allowed everyone to relax a bit and achieve a rare form of tranquility.Da: Man kunne næsten røre ved den usynlige forbindelse mellem dem, som bandt deres energier sammen.En: One could almost touch the invisible bond between them that tied their energies together.Da: Ved slutningen af sessionen, da den rigtige instruktør endelig ankom rød i hovedet, afslørede Mikkel sandheden.En: By the end of the session, when the real instructor finally arrived, red in the face, Mikkel revealed the truth.Da: "Jeg må undskylde," sagde han med et varmt grin.En: "I must apologize," he said with a warm grin.Da: "Jeg er blot en deltager."En: "I'm just a participant."Da: Chok og latter blandede sig symfonisk i rummet.En: Shock and laughter blended symphonically in the room.Da: Men til Mikkels overraskelse bad de ham deltage i flere sessioner.En: But to Mikkel's surprise, they asked him to join more sessions.Da: De havde nydt hans usædvanlige tilgang.En: They had enjoyed his unconventional approach.Da: Denne oplevelse lærte Mikkel, at det ikke altid var det planlagte eller det perfekte, der førte til ro og afstresning.En: This experience taught Mikkel that it wasn't always the planned or the perfect that led to peace and relaxation.Da: I stedet var det menneskelige kontakten og humor, der bragte ham den fred, han søgte.En: Instead, it was the human connection and humor that brought him the peace he sought.Da: Solen begyndte at gå ned, og Mikkel følte sig lettere i kroppen.En: The sun began to set, and Mikkel felt lighter in his body.Da: Retreatet i Bornholm havde givet ham noget uvurderligt, og det havde ikke engang været en del af planen.En: The retreat on Bornholm had given him something invaluable, and it hadn't even been part of the plan.Da: En lektie om at leve mere ubekymret, at grine mere og at værdsætte fællesskabets kraft.En: A lesson about living more carefree, laughing more, and appreciating the power of community.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Secrets of Kronborg: A Hidden Room and a Timeless Bond Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-09-16-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Freja stod ved indgangen til Kronborg Slot, mens vinden fra Øresund legede med hendes lange hår.En: Freja stood at the entrance to Kronborg Slot, while the wind from Øresund played with her long hair.Da: Det var efterår, og slottet var omringet af gyldne og røde blade.En: It was autumn, and the castle was surrounded by golden and red leaves.Da: Luften var frisk, og lyden af festival fyldte området.En: The air was fresh, and the sound of the festival filled the area.Da: Stande med æblekager, lune drikke og historiske dragter gav slottet liv på en ny måde.En: Stalls with apple cakes, warm drinks, and historical costumes brought the castle to life in a new way.Da: Freja så sig omkring og spejdede efter Mikkel.En: Freja looked around, searching for Mikkel.Da: Han stod lidt væk, begejstret studerende en mand, der viste, hvordan man lavede middelalderligt håndværk.En: He was standing a little distance away, enthusiastically studying a man demonstrating how to make medieval crafts.Da: Mikkel havde aldrig været som Freja.En: Mikkel had never been like Freja.Da: Hans lyst til nuet stod i skarp kontrast til hendes trang til at forstå fortiden.En: His desire for the present sharply contrasted with her urge to understand the past.Da: I nærheden hørte Freja Signe, den livlige guide, fortælle en gruppe besøgende om slottets dramatiske historie.En: Nearby, Freja heard Signe, the lively guide, telling a group of visitors about the castle's dramatic history.Da: "Og legend says," begyndte Signe med et mystisk smil, "at et skjult rum gemmer en glemt skat.En: "And legend says," Signe began with a mysterious smile, "that a hidden room hides a forgotten treasure.Da: Men ingen kender vejen derind."En: But no one knows the way in."Da: Frejas øjne glimtede ved ordene.En: Freja's eyes sparkled at the words.Da: Det var dette rum, denne skat, hun havde hørt om og ønsket at finde.En: It was this room, this treasure, that she had heard of and wanted to find.Da: Stemmerne fra festivalen blandede sig med Mikkels latter, men Frejas tanker var et andet sted.En: The voices from the festival mixed with Mikkel's laughter, but Freja's thoughts were elsewhere.Da: Hun besluttede sig for at finde rummet.En: She decided to find the room.Da: Hun havde læst gamle tekster og troede, hun kendte nøglen til hemmeligheden.En: She had read old texts and believed she knew the key to the secret.Da: Da Signe førte gruppen mod slotsgården, begyndte Freja at falde tilbage.En: As Signe led the group towards the castle courtyard, Freja began to fall back.Da: Snart gled hun væk fra gruppen og gik ned ad en af de små, næsten skjulte gange.En: Soon, she slipped away from the group and walked down one of the small, almost hidden passageways.Da: Hendes hjerte slog hurtigt af både spænding og frygt.En: Her heart beat fast with both excitement and fear.Da: Mikkel var stadig på standen, troede hun.En: Mikkel was still at the stall, she thought.Da: Men inden længe hørte hun fodtrin bag sig.En: But before long, she heard footsteps behind her.Da: Mikkel, bekymret for hendes pludselige forsvinden, var fulgt efter hende.En: Mikkel, concerned about her sudden disappearance, had followed her.Da: "Freja, hvad laver du?"En: "Freja, what are you doing?"Da: hviskede han forvirret.En: he whispered, confused.Da: Freja vendte sig om med et smil.En: Freja turned around with a smile.Da: "Jeg skal vise dig noget fantastisk, Mikkel."En: "I have something amazing to show you, Mikkel."Da: De gik sammen længere ind i slottet, hvor turistenes lyde blev til en hvisken.En: They went further into the castle together, where the tourist's sounds became a whisper.Da: Freja fandt endelig, hvad hun ledte efter – en skjult dør.En: Freja finally found what she was looking for – a hidden door.Da: De åbnede den nølende og trådte indenfor.En: They opened it hesitantly and stepped inside.Da: Rummet var gammelt, fyldt med skygger og støv, men der var også en form for magisk atmosfære.En: The room was old, filled with shadows and dust, but there was also a kind of magical atmosphere.Da: Pludselig trådte Mikkel på en løs sten.En: Suddenly, Mikkel stepped on a loose stone.Da: Med et klik lukkede døren bag dem og mekanismen låste.En: With a click, the door closed behind them and the mechanism locked.Da: De kiggede på hinanden, forskrækkede.En: They looked at each other, startled.Da: Det gamle rum var nu en fælde.En: The old room was now a trap.Da: "Åh nej," mumlede Freja, og vidste at deres impulsivitet havde fanget dem.En: "Åh nej," muttered Freja, knowing that their impulsiveness had caught them.Da: I mellemtiden, tilbage ved festivalen, bemærkede Signe, at Freja og Mikkel manglede.En: In the meantime, back at the festival, Signe noticed that Freja and Mikkel were missing.Da: Hendes instinkter sagde hende, hvor de kunne være.En: Her instincts told her where they might be.Da: Snart nærmede hun sig den skjulte dør og lyttede.En: Soon she approached the hidden door and listened.Da: Derindefra hørte hun Freja og Mikkels dæmpede stemmer.En: From inside, she heard Freja and Mikkel's muffled voices.Da: Signe smilede for sig selv og sagde kun med en hvisken til døren: "I ser, historie findes ikke kun i de glemte rum."En: Signe smiled to herself and whispered to the door: "You see, history isn't only found in forgotten rooms."Da: Derefter brugte hun sin viden om slottet til at åbne døren.En: Then she used her knowledge of the castle to open the door.Da: Freja og Mikkel trådte ud, lettede over at være frie.En: Freja and Mikkel stepped out, relieved to be free.Da: Signe nikkede forstående.En: Signe nodded understandingly.Da: "Nogle hemmeligheder er sikrere med venner," sagde hun.En: "Some secrets are safer with friends," she said.Da: Freja indså, at hendes ivrighed efter fortiden måtte vejes med tilstedeværelsen af dem hun holdt kær.En: Freja realized that her eagerness for the past had to be balanced with the presence of those she loved.Da: Sammen gik de tilbage til festivalen, og Freja vidste, at hendes søgen efter historie netop havde beriget hendes nutid.En: Together they returned to the festival, and Freja knew that her quest for history had just enriched her present.Da: Mikkel og Signe var ved hendes side, og det var i sig selv en rigdom.En: Mikkel and Signe were by her side, and that in itself was a treasure.Da: Historien var ikke kun i det skjulte, men også i de øjeblikke, vi deler nu.En: History was not only in the hidden, but also in the moments we share now.

Et bittert nederlag, en målmandspost der skal genbesøges, en midtbane-kabale som ikke er gået op og en optakt til Chelsea. Det er hvad denne uges podcast lyder på.Vi håber I vil lytte med.Din vært: Peter TarrisDine gæster: Nicolas Due Fangel og Mikkel Sørensen

Vi er tilbage med endnu en biepisode i selskab med Mikkel Sørensen fra Mikkel's Honning. Denne gang kigger vi knap så meget i bistadet men mere ud på marken, hvor bierne har en meget vigtig opgave. Men hvad er det egentlig bierne skal og hvordan gør de? Blomsterne producerer nektar for at lokke bier og andre insekter til, så pollen kan flyttes fra plante til plante. Blomsterne er dermed afhængige af bierne for at formere sig og bierne er afhængige af blomsterne for at få nektar. Vi tager en snak om forskellige afgrøder og hvilken betydning en god bestøvning kan have for udbytterne. Mikkel har taget forskellige smagsprøver med honning med i dag, som er produceret henholdsvis lyng, hvidkløver og raps. Anders Lau og planterådgiver Finn Poulsen bliver klogere på aktuelle emner indenfor plantesektoren og der vil både være tid til nørderi og god stemning. Planteavlerne præsenteres i samarbejde med Yara og ECNergy.

fluorescent lights on the ceiling cast a cold light over the concrete walls.Da: Hylderne i bunkeren var fulde af konserves, dåser, og stærkt lugtende paraffinlys.En: The shelves in the bunker were

praktisk jakke.En: He had short, tousled hair and always wore a practical jacket.Da: Freja, derimod, stod med en regnbuefarvet paraply.En: Freja, on the other hand, stood with a rainbow-colored

grine.En: Mikkel couldn't help but laugh.Da: En lettelse skyllede over ham.En: A relief washed over him.Da: "Okay, måske var de glow sticks ikke en så dårlig idé alligevel," indrømmede han og skænkede

together to get the bunker ready.Da: Mikkel stolede på Frejas øje for det sjove, og Freja stolede på Mikkels praktiske sans.En: Mikkel relied on Freja's eye for fun, and Freja relied on Mikkel's practicality.Da: De fandt en balance.En: They found a balance.Da: Da de endelig stod ved udgangen, tungt lastede med forsyninger og lidt ekstra fornøjelser, havde de lært noget nyt.En: When they finally stood at the exit, heavily loaded with supplies and a few extra pleasures, they had learned something new.Da: "Vi klarede det," sagde Mikkel og kiggede kærligt på Freja.En: "We did it," said Mikkel, looking affectionately at Freja.Da: "Ja, og i morgen kan vi øve os i at kaste lys sticks i mørket," lo hun tilbage og holdt hans hånd fast.En: "Yes, and tomorrow we can practice tossing glow sticks in the dark," she laughed back and held his hand tightly.Da: Mens de klatrede op ad trappen, forenet i et øjeblik af fælles forståelse, vidste de, at det var denne balance, der ville holde dem

De næste to uger skal det handle om bierne og blomsterne. Og inden stemningen bliver alt for akavet, kan vi fortælle at det skal tages helt bogstavligt.. Mikkel Sørensen er biavler og har virksomheden Mikkel's Honning ved Hadsten. Faktisk er det slet ikke honning, der er den vigtigste vare, men derimod selve bifamilierne, dronninger og bestøvning. Mikkel er 25 år og har haft bier i 10 år. Interessen startede da han fik et gammelt bistad af sin bedstefar, som han renoverede imens han gik på efterskole. Da Mikkel fyldte 16 år ønskede han sig ikke en knallert, han ønskede sig sine første bifamilier - og det fik han af sin bedstefar. Vi skal høre Mikkels historie i dag og så gemmer vi ‘blomsterne' til næste uge, hvor vi bliver klogere på, hvordan vi bruger bierne i landbrugsbranchen i dag - og hvordan vi måske kan bruge dem mere og smartere. Anders Lau og planterådgiver Finn Poulsen bliver klogere på aktuelle emner indenfor plantesektoren og der vil både være tid til nørderi og god stemning. Planteavlerne præsenteres i samarbejde med Yara og ECNergy.

kunstner med et sind fuld af tvivl, gik langs stierne med sin ven Lars ved sin side.En: Freja, a young artist with a mind full of doubt, walked along the paths with her friend Lars by her side.Da: "Du skal prøve noget nyt, Freja," sagde Lars, idet han kastede et blik rundt på festivalens mange mennesker.En: "You need to try something new, Freja," said Lars, glancing around at the festival's many people.Da: "Måske finder du inspiration her."En: "Maybe you'll find inspiration here."Da: Freja nikkede, men hendes hjerte lå tungt.En: Freja nodded, but her heart felt heavy.Da: Hun følte sig fanget i en kreativ hul.En: She felt trapped in a creative rut.Da: Hendes pensler lå ubrugte derhjemme, og hun længtes efter at finde gnisten igen.En: Her brushes lay unused at home, and she longed to find

om, han vidste præcis, hvad han ville.En: He seemed to know exactly what he wanted.Da: "Han ser ud til at have styr på det," mumlede Freja til Lars.En: "He looks like he's got it all together," Freja muttered to Lars.Da: "Jeg ville ønske, jeg havde den selvtillid."En: "I wish I had that confidence."Da: Lars smilede.En: Lars smiled.Da: "Måske kan du få noget af hans energi i aften."En: "Maybe you can get some of his energy tonight."Da: Freja følte sig splittet.En: Freja felt torn.Da: Hun kunne forblive her og observere bag de trygge rammer af anonymitet, eller hun kunne følge Lars' råd og række ud efter noget anderledes.En: She could remain here and observe behind the safe confines of anonymity, or she could follow Lars' advice and reach out for something different.Da: Da Mikkels sang

inspiration.En: Their eyes met, and in that moment, Freja felt an unexpected wave of inspiration.Da: Det var som om, Mikkels musik talte direkte til hendes kunstneriske sjæl.En: It was as if Mikkel's music spoke directly to her artistic soul.Da: Efter koncerten rykkede Freja modvilligt frem mod scenen med Lars ved sin side.En: After the concert, Freja reluctantly moved toward the stage with Lars

you enjoy the music?"Da: Freja nikkede, en smule genert.En: Freja nodded, a bit shy.Da: "Ja, den var fantastisk.En: "Yes, it was fantastic.Da: Jeg er kunstner, men føler mig... tom for ideer."En: I'm an artist, but I feel... empty of ideas."Da: Mikkel så tankefuldt på hende.En: Mikkel looked at her thoughtfully.Da: "Vi står alle der på et tidspunkt.En: "We all stand there at some point.Da: Prøv at lade verden inspirere dig – farverne, lydene, historierne fra menneskerne omkring dig."En: Try to let the world inspire you – the colors, the sounds, the stories from the people around you."Da: Freja lyttede, og hun kunne mærke tvivlen løsne sit greb.En: Freja listened, and she could feel the doubt loosen its grip.Da: Deres samtale fortsatte indtil Tivoli Gardens' lys begyndte at dæmpe.En: Their conversation continued until Tivoli Gardens' lights began to dim.Da: Da Freja gik væk fra scenen den aften, mærkede hun en fornyet drivkraft.En: As Freja walked away from the stage that night, she felt a renewed drive.Da: Som om nattens gnistre og Mikkels opmuntring havde plantet en ny gnist.En: It was as if the night's sparks and Mikkel's encouragement had planted a new spark.Da: Hun var klar til at male igen, og ikke længere bange for at træde udenfor sine vante rammer.En: She was ready to paint again, no longer afraid to step outside her familiar boundaries.Da: Lars klemte hendes skulder.En: Lars squeezed her shoulder.Da: "Jeg sagde jo, at du skulle træde ud."En: "I told you, you should step out."Da: Og Freja lo.En: And Freja laughed.Da: "Jeg er glad for, at jeg gjorde det."En: "I'm glad I did."Da: Med et smil vidste hun, at denne aften ville blive begyndelsen på noget nyt og betydningsfuldt.En: With a smile, she knew that this night would be the beginning of something new and meaningful.Da: Hun havde vinden i ryggen og modet til at lade verden blive hendes lærred.En: She had the wind at her back and the courage to let the world become her canvas.

små caféer langs vandet.En: The warm summer sun beamed down on the colorful, historic buildings, while happy people filled the canal and the small cafés along the water.Da: Markedsboder solgte alt fra håndværk til lækre snacks, og musikken spillede.En: Market stalls sold everything from crafts to delicious snacks, and music played.Da: Det var midt i denne festlige atmosfære, at kaos indtraf.En: It was in the midst of this festive atmosphere that chaos ensued.Da: Mikkel, en spirende kunstner, stod ved sin bod fyldt med malerier.En: Mikkel, an aspiring artist, stood by his stall filled with paintings.Da: Han elskede at være her, omgivet af mennesker og den smukke udsigt over kanalen.En: He loved being here, surrounded by people and the beautiful view over the canal.Da: Men hans glæde forsvandt hurtigt, da en højlydt stemme råbte: "Stop!En: But his joy quickly vanished when a loud voice shouted, "Stop!Da: Tyven er her!"En: The thief is here!"Da: Det var Lars, en lokal politibetjent med en stærk tro på, at Mikkel havde stjålet et værdifuldt armbånd fra en af bodene.En: It was Lars, a local police officer with a strong belief that Mikkel had stolen a valuable bracelet from one of the stalls.Da: Uden andet bevis end et rygte, pegede Lars mod Mikkel, der følte sit hjerte bremse.En: Without any proof other than a rumor, Lars pointed at Mikkel, who felt his heart stop.Da: Han havde brug for at bevise sin uskyld.En: He needed to prove his innocence.Da: "Sofie," hviskede Mikkel til sin bedste ven, der stod ved siden af.En: "Sofie," Mikkel whispered to his best friend standing beside him.Da: "Jeg gjorde det ikke.En: "I didn't do it.Da: Vi skal finde den sande tyv.En: We need to find the real thief.Da: Vil du hjælpe mig?"En: Will you help me?"Da: Sofie nikkede straks.En: Sofie nodded immediately.Da: "Selvfølgelig, Mikkel.En: "Of course, Mikkel.Da: Jeg ved, du ikke er skyldig."En: I know you're not guilty."Da: De besluttede sig for at undersøge sagen selv.En: They decided to investigate the matter themselves.Da: Mikkel og Sofie gik rundt blandt boderne og snakkede med folk.En: Mikkel and Sofie went around the stalls talking to people.Da: De opdagede snart, at andre også havde mistet ting, og Mikkel var ikke den eneste mistænkte.En: They soon discovered that others had lost things too, and Mikkel was not the only suspect.Da: Imens fulgte Lars dem opmærksomt på afstand, fast besluttet på at finde snigende fejl i Mikkels opførsel.En: Meanwhile, Lars watched them closely from a distance, determined to find sneaky errors in Mikkel's behavior.Da: Mikkel og Sofie skyndte sig til en lille café for at diskutere deres næste skridt.En: Mikkel and Sofie hurried to a small café to discuss their next move.Da: "Vi skal finde nogen, der så, hvad der skete," sagde Sofie.En: "We need to find someone who saw what happened," Sofie said.Da: "Måske nogen ved boden over for dig?"En: "Maybe someone at the stall across from you?"Da: De fandt snart en kvinde, der havde set noget mistænkeligt.En: They soon found a woman who had seen something suspicious.Da: "Der var en skygge hen over din bod kort før alarmen gik," hviskede hun.En: "There was a shadow over your stall shortly before the alarm went off," she whispered.Da: "En mand med en sort hætte trak noget op af lommen og smed det i din retning, mens han gik forbi."En: "A man with a black hood pulled something out of his pocket and tossed it in your direction as he walked by."Da: Med denne oplysning begyndte de at lede efter manden i den sorte hætte.En: With this information, they began looking for the man in the black hood.Da: Det var en udfordring i den store skare, men Mikkel opdagede til sidst en mand, der passede på beskrivelsen, gemt i skyggerne bag en bod.En: It was a challenge in the large crowd, but Mikkel eventually spotted a man fitting the description, hidden in the shadows behind a stall.Da: Mikkel konfronterede ham.En: Mikkel confronted him.Da: "Hvorfor smed du det armbånd ved min bod?"En: "Why did you throw the bracelet by my stall?"Da: Mikkel's spørgsmål fik mange til at stoppe op og lytte.En: Mikkel's question made many stop and listen.Da: Manden forsøgte at flygte, men Sofie, hurtig som hun var, snublede foran ham og forhindrede hans flugt.En: The man tried to flee, but Sofie, quick as she was, stumbled in front of him, preventing his escape.Da: I mængden blev et vægtigt vidne frem, en fotograf, der havde fanget det hele på sit kamera.En: In the crowd, a crucial witness emerged, a photographer who had captured it all on their camera.Da: Beviset viste manden i den sorte hætte, som placerede armbåndet ved Mikkels bod.En: The evidence showed the man in the black hood placing the bracelet at Mikkel's stall.Da: Lars, overrasket og skamfuld, måtte indrømme sin fejl.En: Lars, surprised and ashamed, had to admit his mistake.Da: "Undskyld, Mikkel.En: "Sorry, Mikkel.Da: Jeg tog fejl," sagde han kort efter.En: I was wrong," he said shortly afterward.Da: Mikkel tog en dyb indånding.En: Mikkel took a deep breath.Da: "Tak, Sofie," sagde han.En: "Thank you, Sofie," he said.Da: "Uden dig kunne jeg ikke have bevist min uskyld."En: "Without you, I couldn't have proven my innocence."Da: Festivitetens musik spillede videre, og Mikkel vendte tilbage til sin passion for malerier, nu med en styrket selvtillid og en dybere forståelse for værdien af en sand ven ved sin side.En: The event's music continued to play, and Mikkel returned to his passion for paintings, now with bolstered confidence and a deeper appreciation for the value of a true friend by his side.Da: Nyhavn's farver føltes endnu klarere, og han var glad for at være en del af denne verden, hvor retfærdighed til sidst blev gjort.En: Nyhavn's colors

Story Transcript:Da: I sneen, der dækkede København som et tykt tæppe, gik Mikkel ensomt gennem de øde gader.En: In the snow that covered København like a thick blanket, Mikkel walked alone through the deserted streets.Da: Byen lignede mest af alt en frossen ruin fra en forsvunden verden.En: The city resembled, more than anything, a frozen ruin from a lost world.Da: Biler var efterladt halvt dækket af sne, og de høje bygninger kastede lange, skyggefulde spejlbilleder på den hvide overflade.En: Cars were left half-covered by snow, and the tall buildings cast long, shadowy reflections on the white surface.Da: Mikkel bandt sin tykke jakke tættere om sig i kamp mod den bidende kulde.En: Mikkel tightened his thick jacket around himself in a battle against the biting cold.Da: Han havde kun et mål: at finde Sofie.En: He had only one goal: to find Sofie.Da: De blev skilt under evakueringen, da kaos brød løs.En: They were separated during the evacuation when chaos broke out.Da: Med mennesker der skubbede og råbende soldater, forsvandt Sofie i mængden.En: With people pushing and shouting soldiers, Sofie vanished in the crowd.Da: Siden da havde Mikkel spekuleret på, hvor hun mon kunne være.En: Since then, Mikkel had wondered where she might be.Da: Hans eneste selskab på rejsen var Lars.En: His only company on the journey was Lars.Da: Lars, som engang var en nær ven af familien, virkede nu usikker og tvivlfuld.En: Lars, who was once a close family friend, now seemed uncertain and doubtful.Da: "Vi burde holde os indenby," sagde Lars med en nervøs stemme, mens han så sig omkring.En: "We should stay inside," Lars said with a nervous voice, as he looked around.Da: "Det her er ikke sikkert, Mikkel."En: "This isn't safe, Mikkel."Da: Men Mikkel kunne ikke give op.En: But Mikkel couldn't give up.Da: Hans hjerte negligerede alt håb.En: His heart neglected all hope.Da: "Jeg bliver nødt til at finde hende."En: "I have to find her."Da: Lars sukkede og kiggede på Mikkel.En: Lars sighed and looked at Mikkel.Da: Hans indre konflikt stod malet i ansigtet.En: His inner conflict was written all over his face.Da: "Okay," sagde han til sidst.En: "Okay," he said finally.Da: "Jeg hjælper dig.En: "I'll help you.Da: Men det bliver farligt."En: But it will be dangerous."Da: Som de nærmede sig udkanten af byen, blev situationen farligere.En: As they approached the edge of the city, the situation became more dangerous.Da: Her herskede lovløse bander og scavengers, klar til at angribe enhver fremmed.En: Here, lawless gangs and scavengers reigned, ready to attack any stranger.Da: Mikkel stod over for en gruppe netop af den slags, der pludselig omringede ham.En: Mikkel faced a group just of that kind that suddenly surrounded him.Da: Mikkel mærkede panikken stige, men i samme øjeblik trådte Lars frem ved hans side.En: Mikkel felt panic rising, but at the same moment, Lars stepped forward by his side.Da: Med mod, han syntes at have glemt, kastede Lars sig ind i kampen.En: With courage he seemed to have forgotten, Lars threw himself into the fight.Da: Tilsammen lykkedes det dem at skræmme angriberne væk.En: Together, they managed to scare the attackers away.Da: Rystende men lettet, faldt Mikkel tilbage.En: Shaking but relieved, Mikkel fell back.Da: "Tak, Lars.En: "Thank you, Lars.Da: Jeg ved ikke, hvad jeg skulle have gjort uden dig."En: I don't know what I would have done without you."Da: Mens de trak vejret, og nervesystemet faldt til ro, bemærkede Mikkel et stykke papir flagre i sneen.En: As they caught their breath and their nervous systems calmed, Mikkel noticed a piece of paper fluttering in the snow.Da: Et enkelt blik, og hans hjerte sprang et slag over.En: A single look, and his heart skipped a beat.Da: Det var en besked – en besked fra Sofie.En: It was a message—a message from Sofie.Da: Hun havde været her og efterladt en ledetråd.En: She had been here and left a clue.Da: Lars så over Mikkels skulder og nikkede langsomt.En: Lars looked over Mikkel's shoulder and nodded slowly.Da: Beslutningen var truffet.En: The decision was made.Da: "Så er det nu," sagde han.En: "Now's the time," he said.Da: "Lad os finde hende."En: "Let's find her."Da: Sammen fortsatte de deres rejse, med nyt håb og forbundet af en fornyet forståelse.En: Together, they continued their journey, with new hope and bound by a renewed understanding.Da: Mikkel vidste nu, at Lars' tøven kom af frygt og hans egen pligt.En: Mikkel now knew that Lars's hesitation came from fear and his own duty.Da: Lars havde genfundet værdien af loyalitet.En: Lars had rediscovered the value of loyalty.Da: Den sneklædte by lå stadig tavs og tung omkring dem, men Mikkel og Lars trådte fremad – i søgen efter Sofie, og måske, en ny begyndelse.En: The snow-covered city still lay silent and heavy around them, but Mikkel and Lars moved forward—in search of Sofie, and perhaps, a new beginning.

Transcript:Da: Under en klar vinteraften hang stjernerne højt over Tivoli Gardens i København.En: On a clear winter evening, the stars hung high above Tivoli Gardens in København.Da: Snefnug lagde sig som et blødt tæppe på jorden, mens tusindvis af små lys glimtede som diamanter mellem de sneklædte træer.En: Snowflakes settled like a soft blanket on the ground, while thousands of small lights twinkled like diamonds among the snow-covered trees.Da: Mikkel gik gennem parken, mens han trak sin frakke tættere om sig.En: Mikkel walked through the park, pulling his coat tighter around him.Da: Han havde hørt det underlige rygte om spejlet i spejlhuset.En: He had heard the strange rumor about the mirror in the spejlhuset.Da: Freja og Søren fulgte med ham, selvom de havde forskellige meninger om sagen.En: Freja and Søren accompanied him, even though they had different opinions on the matter.Da: Mikkel var den, som foreslog, at de skulle undersøge spejlet.En: Mikkel was the one who suggested they investigate the mirror.Da: Det kunne være en farlig opgave, men hans nysgerrighed måtte tilfredsstilles.En: It could be a dangerous task, but his curiosity had to be satisfied.Da: "Tror I virkelig på det her?"En: "Do you really believe in this?"Da: spurgte Freja skeptisk.En: asked Freja skeptically.Da: "Et spejl, der viser noget andet hver nat?En: "A mirror that shows something different every night?Da: Det lyder som en dårlig spøg."En: It sounds like a bad joke."Da: Søren, derimod, så det som en chance.En: Søren, on the other hand, saw it as an opportunity.Da: "Tænk, hvis det er ægte?En: "Think if it's real?Da: Tænk, hvad vi kan opdage om fortiden," sagde han med glød i øjnene.En: Think about what we can discover about the past," he said with a glow in his eyes.Da: De nåede frem til spejlhuset.En: They arrived at the spejlhuset.Da: Inde i den dunkle labyrint ventede spejlet.En: Inside the dim labyrinth awaited the mirror.Da: Det glimtede faretruende i lyset fra de omkringliggende lamper.En: It gleamed menacingly in the light of the surrounding lamps.Da: En brise syntes at komme fra det, selvom stedet var helt lukket.En: A breeze seemed to come from it, even though the place was entirely enclosed.Da: "Jeg kan mærke noget særligt herinde," sagde Søren med en alvorlig mine.En: "I can feel something special in here," said Søren with a serious expression.Da: "Det er som om, nogen eller noget er fanget."En: "It's as if someone or something is trapped."Da: Freja rystede på hovedet, men hun gik alligevel tættere på spejlet.En: Freja shook her head but still moved closer to the mirror.Da: Mikkel observerede dem begge, vidende at denne nat havde en helt særlig stemning.En: Mikkel observed them both, knowing that this night had a very special atmosphere.Da: Pludselig skiftede spejlet.En: Suddenly, the mirror changed.Da: Hvor der før havde været et klart billede af deres reflekterede ansigter, var der nu kun tomhed dér, hvor Frejas spejlbillede burde være.En: Where there was once a clear image of their reflected faces, there was now only emptiness where Freja's reflection should be.Da: De rykkede sig alle væk, men Mikkels nysgerrighed blev styrket endnu mere.En: They all stepped back, but Mikkel's curiosity was only further strengthened.Da: "Vi må finde ud af, hvad der skete," sagde Mikkel beslutsomt.En: "We must find out what happened," said Mikkel decisively.Da: Hvad hvis en gammel tragedie ventede på at blive løst?En: What if an old tragedy was waiting to be resolved?Da: Mikkel begyndte at forstå, at dette mysterium strakte sig dybere end overfladen.En: Mikkel began to understand that this mystery stretched deeper than the surface.Da: De tre besluttede sig for at arbejde sammen.En: The three decided to work together.Da: Mikkel ledte efter spor, Freja noterede alt ned for at danne et klart billede, og Søren forsøgte at forbinde de mystiske kræfter med noget, han havde læst.En: Mikkel searched for clues, Freja noted everything down to form a clear picture, and Søren tried to connect the mysterious forces with something he had read.Da: Til sidst, efter flere timers intens undersøgelse, opdagede de en gammel avisartikel gemt bag spejlet.En: Finally, after several hours of intense investigation, they discovered an old newspaper article hidden behind the mirror.Da: Artiklen fortalte om en ung pige, der var blevet fanget i spejlhuset og aldrig kom ud igen.En: The article told of a young girl who had been trapped in the spejlhuset and never came out again.Da: Hendes navn var også Freja.En: Her name was also Freja.Da: "Det her er ikke muligt," sagde Freja stille, da hun læste navnet.En: "This is not possible," said Freja quietly as she read the name.Da: "Måske er der mere mellem himmel og jord."En: "Maybe there is more between heaven and earth."Da: Ved hjælp af en gammel priisme, de fandt ved et af spejlene, løste de gåden og genoprettede den forsvundne refleksion.En: With the help of an old prism they found by one of the mirrors, they solved the riddle and restored the missing reflection.Da: Det øjeblik deres Frejas ansigt vendte tilbage i spejlet, forsvandt den urolige stemning, og en varm fred fyldte rummet.En: The moment their Freja's face returned in the mirror, the uneasy atmosphere vanished, and a warm peace filled the room.Da: Tivoli Gardens vendte tilbage til sin magiske normalitet.En: Tivoli Gardens returned to its magical normality.Da: Mikkel lærte at stole på sin nysgerrighed og værdsætte eventyrets skønhed.En: Mikkel learned to trust his curiosity and appreciate the beauty of adventure.Da: Freja blev åben for det ukendte, og Søren fik en dybere indsigt i hvad der findes bag det synlige.En: Freja became open to the unknown, and Søren gained a deeper insight into what lies behind the visible.Da: Det var tydeligt: noget langt større havde rørt dem alle.En: It was clear: something much greater had touched them all.Da: I det kolde vintermørke, under de glitrende lys, fandt de tre venner noget, som ville ændre deres syn på verden for altid.En: In the cold winter darkness, under the glittering lights, the three friends found something that would change their view of the world forever.Da: Det gamle spejl i Tivoli Gardens ville aldrig være det samme igen.En: The old mirror in Tivoli Gardens would never be the same again.
