Story Transcript:

Da: Lars og Sofie var bedste venner. Med hjertet fuld af eventyr og en taske fuld af slik, gik de ind i Tivoli. København kaldte på dem med en blanding af neon og historie. Det var en varm forårsdag, og alle træerne i byen sprøjtede bladene ud i en eksplosion af grønt. Elefanterne ved indgangen virkede som om de havde ventet kun på dem.
En: Lars and Sofie were best friends. With hearts full of adventure and a bag full of candy, they entered Tivoli. Copenhagen called to them with a mix of neon and history. It was a warm spring day, and all the trees in the city sprouted their leaves in an explosion of green. The elephants at the entrance seemed as if they had been waiting just for them.

Da: De ville prøve noget spændende. "Hvad med labyrinten?" foreslog Sofie, nysgerrigheden glinsede i hendes øjne. Lars, der altid var klar til en udfordring, nikkede ivrigt. De løb sammen ind i den grønne jungle, som snor sig som en labyrint. Vejene snoede, drejede, krøllede og vendte. De sjove spejlbilleder og figurer på væggene bringede dem i mere munterhed.
En: They wanted to try something exciting. "What about the labyrinth?" Sofie suggested, curiosity sparkling in her eyes. Lars, always up for a challenge, nodded eagerly. They ran together into the green jungle that twisted like a maze. The paths wound, turned, curled, and twisted. The funny reflections and figures on the walls brought them even more joy.

Da: Pludselig ramte Lars uheldigt en stang i en blindgyde og udløste en dominoeffekt. En velklædt kvinde ved navn Emma, som var optaget af sin is, tabte den på en dreng foran hende i forfærdelse. Drengen spruttede og slyngede sin sodavand på en farverig ballon, der hoppede og landede på en pudset frisure på en dame, som skreg og sendte sin pølse med brød flyvende.
En: Suddenly, Lars accidentally hit a pole in a dead-end, setting off a chain reaction. A well-dressed woman named Emma, who was engrossed in her ice cream, dropped it in horror onto a boy in front of her. The boy spluttered and sprayed his soda onto a colorful balloon, which bounced and landed on a polished hairstyle of a lady, who screamed and sent her hot dog bun flying.

Da: Pølsen med brød landede præcist i Tivoligardens tuba, der skulle spille melodien af 'Under den Hvide Bro'. Musikken blev til en høj brølen, der sendte en flok børn løb mod forlystelserne. Det vakte stor munterhed blandt publikum, ledere og ansatte. Selv den strenge sikkerhedsvagt kom hikende af latter. Tivoli, der allerede var levende med lyd og lys, syntes at være blevet endnu mere livlig.
En: The hot dog bun landed precisely in the tuba of the Tivoli Gardens band, which was supposed to play the melody of 'Under the White Bridge'. The music turned into a loud roar, causing a group of children to run towards the rides. It brought great amusement to the audience, leaders, and employees. Even the stern security guard was hiccupping with laughter. Tivoli, already alive with sound and light, seemed to become even more vibrant.

Da: Lars rødmede dybt, mens Sofie lo så hun klappede i hænderne. Emma samlede resterne af hendes is op, mens hun lo muntert. De blev alle venner, grinte af deres fælles uheld og besluttede at fortsætte eventyret sammen. Efter timer af flere morsomheder, ondt i maven fra for meget slik og øjne blinkende af søvn, vendte de hjem ad.
En: Lars blushed deeply while Sofie laughed so hard that she clapped her hands. Emma gathered the remains of her ice cream while laughing cheerfully. They all became friends, laughing at their shared mishap and deciding to continue the adventure together. After hours of more fun, stomachaches from too much candy, and sleep-dazed eyes, they returned home.

Da: Selvom Lars og Sofie forventede en almindelig dag i Tivoli, endte det med en utrolig oplevelse fuld af latter og en ny ven. Lars og Sofie lærte, at selvom de følte sig tabt, kunne de altid finde vejen tilbage ... og måske endda stifte nye, fantastiske venskaber undervejs. Selvom det var en simpel dag i København, blev det en uforglemmelig oplevelse for Lars, Sofie og Emma. Derfor var der altid plads til humor, selv i uventede situationer, og det var altid godt at være åben for at lave nye venskaber.
En: Although Lars and Sofie expected a normal day in Tivoli, it turned into an incredible experience full of laughter and a new friend. Lars and Sofie learned that even when they felt lost, they could always find their way back... and maybe even make new, amazing friendships along the way. Even though it was a simple day in Copenhagen, it became an unforgettable experience for Lars, Sofie, and Emma. That's why there was always room for humor, even in unexpected situations, and it was always good to be open to making new friends.

Da: Og sådan slutter vores lille fortælling, i de sene aftentimer, med glade hjerter og en ny veninde. Forhåbentlig vil Lars, Sofie og Emma have mange flere sjove eventyr sammen i fremtiden og vil aldrig glemme deres muntre dag i København.
En: And so ends our little tale, in the late hours of the evening, with happy hearts and a new friend. Hopefully, Lars, Sofie, and Emma will have many more fun adventures together in the future and will never forget their joyful day in Copenhagen.
