Story Transcript:

Da: I det lille boligkvarter, hvor de røde og gule blade flød ned fra de mange ahorntræer, boede Lars.
En: In the small neighborhood where the red and yellow leaves drifted down from the many maple trees, lived Lars.

Da: Lars var stolt af sin have.
En: Lars was proud of his garden.

Da: Den var altid den fineste i nabolaget.
En: It was always the finest in the neighborhood.

Da: Men dybt inde ønskede Lars at kunne slappe lidt mere af.
En: But deep down, Lars wished he could relax a bit more.

Da: Hans hemmelighed var kun kendt af ham.
En: His secret was known only to him.

Da: Det var efterår.
En: It was autumn.

Da: Bladene lå tykt på jorden som et farverigt tæppe.
En: The leaves lay thick on the ground like a colorful carpet.

Da: En dag bestemte Lars sig for at rive bladene sammen i pæne bunker.
En: One day, Lars decided to rake the leaves into neat piles.

Da: Han ville gerne, at alt så perfekt ud, før hans nabo Mette kom ud.
En: He wanted everything to look perfect before his neighbor Mette came out.

Da: Lars greb sin rive og begyndte sit arbejde.
En: Lars grabbed his rake and began his work.

Da: Øjeblikket var fredfyldt.
En: The moment was peaceful.

Da: Man kunne næsten kun høre bladene rasle let under riven.
En: You could almost only hear the gentle rustling of the leaves under the rake.

Da: Men lige da Lars var ved at være færdig, skete det utænkelige.
En: But just as Lars was about to finish, the unthinkable happened.

Da: En kraftig vind blæste gennem træerne.
En: A strong wind blew through the trees.

Da: Bladene fløj op i luften overalt.
En: The leaves flew up into the air everywhere.

Da: Lars så forfærdet på kaosset.
En: Lars looked at the chaos in dismay.

Da: "Åh nej," udbrød han.
En: “Oh no,” he exclaimed.

Da: Han var fast besluttet på at samle bladene igen, selvom vinden ikke stoppede.
En: He was determined to gather the leaves again, even though the wind didn't stop.

Da: Han vidste, Mette ville snart komme ud og se rodet.
En: He knew Mette would soon come out and see the mess.

Da: Lars gik tilbage til arbejdet.
En: Lars went back to work.

Da: Vinden ville ikke give sig.
En: The wind wouldn't relent.

Da: Bladene faldt aldrig ned, men fløj blot omkring ham.
En: The leaves never settled, but only flew around him.

Da: Frustrationen steg i Lars.
En: Frustration rose in Lars.

Da: Han svingede riven mod vinden som en sværdkæmper, håbende på at fange nogle af bladene i kampens hede.
En: He swung the rake at the wind like a swordsman, hoping to catch some of the leaves in the heat of battle.

Da: Da hørte han en latterlyd.
En: Then he heard a sound of laughter.

Da: Det var Mette.
En: It was Mette.

Da: Hun stod på sin terrasse og grinede af optrinnet.
En: She stood on her terrace and laughed at the scene.

Da: Lars så på hende, først irriteret, men så smittede hendes latter.
En: Lars looked at her, first irritated, but then her laughter was contagious.

Da: Han begyndte også at le.
En: He began to laugh too.

Da: Det hele så så fjollet ud - han der fægter mod løse blade.
En: It all looked so silly—him fencing with loose leaves.

Da: Øjeblikket var befriende.
En: The moment was liberating.

Da: Lars slap sin stivhed om den perfekte have og forstod, at ikke alt behøvede at være i orden.
En: Lars let go of his rigidity about the perfect garden and understood that not everything needed to be in order.

Da: Fra den dag af bekymrede Lars sig mindre om bladene.
En: From that day on, Lars worried less about the leaves.

Da: Han lærte at nyde det uberegnelige ved livet, og i stedet for et perfekt ryddet have, havde han nu et større smil på læben.
En: He learned to enjoy the unpredictability of life, and instead of a perfectly cleared garden, he now had a bigger smile on his face.

Da: Mette og han blev efterfølgende gode venner, ofte delte de en kop varm kakao og snakkede om både små og store ting fra deres hverdag.
En: Mette and he became good friends, often sharing a cup of hot cocoa and talking about both small and big things from their everyday lives.

Da: Bladene?
En: The leaves?

Da: De blev en del af havens charme, en påmindelse om en dag, hvor vinden bragte latter og lethed.
En: They became part of the garden's charm, a reminder of a day when the wind brought laughter and lightness.
