Story Transcript:

Da: I Nyhavn, hvor farverige huse og livlige caféer omfavnede den brusende kanal, var Mikkel på vej til caféen.
En: In Nyhavn, where colorful houses and lively cafés embraced the roaring canal, Mikkel was on his way to the café.

Da: Den friske efterårsluft var fyldt med duften af kanelkager og kaffe.
En: The fresh autumn air was filled with the scent of cinnamon cakes and coffee.

Da: Mikkel var en venlig sjæl.
En: Mikkel was a kind soul.

Da: Han elskede sit arbejde som barista, men nu var hans højre arm i gips.
En: He loved his job as a barista, but now his right arm was in a cast.

Da: En cykelulykke havde gjort, at han ikke kunne arbejde, og det stressede ham.
En: A bicycle accident had left him unable to work, and it stressed him out.

Da: Caféen var altid travl i efteråret, og Mikkel ønskede sig desperat tilbage.
En: The café was always busy in the fall, and Mikkel desperately wanted to get back.

Da: Lykke, hans trofaste ven, hjalp ham med dagligdagen.
En: Lykke, his faithful friend, helped him with daily life.

Da: Hun besøgte ham hver dag, bragte middagsmad og opmuntrende ord.
En: She visited him every day, brought lunch and encouraging words.

Da: "Tag det roligt, Mikkel," sagde Lykke med et smil.
En: "Take it easy, Mikkel," Lykke said with a smile.

Da: "Din arm bliver stærkere med tiden."
En: "Your arm will get stronger over time."

Da: Men Mikkel var utålmodig.
En: But Mikkel was impatient.

Da: Jens, deres nabo, observerede det hele fra sin lejlighed, hvor han malede.
En: Jens, their neighbor, observed everything from his apartment where he painted.

Da: Jens var lidt reserveret, men havde en interesse i Mikkel og Lykke.
En: Jens was somewhat reserved but had an interest in Mikkel and Lykke.

Da: Han kunne se Mikkels kamp fra sit vindue.
En: He could see Mikkel’s struggle from his window.

Da: En dag forsøgte Mikkel at arbejde.
En: One day, Mikkel tried to work.

Da: Han gik til caféen med sin arm i gips, beslutsom og optimistisk.
En: He went to the café with his arm in a cast, determined and optimistic.

Da: "Jeg kan klare det," sagde han til sig selv og begyndte sin vagt.
En: "I can do it," he told himself and started his shift.

Da: Men efter kun en time tabte han en bakke fyldt med kopper, og den smerte, der fulgte, var stærk.
En: But after only an hour, he dropped a tray full of cups, and the pain that followed was intense.

Da: Han måtte stoppe og tage af sted.
En: He had to stop and leave.

Da: Lykke kom hurtigt hen efter et opkald fra caféen.
En: Lykke quickly came over after a call from the café.

Da: Hun trøstede ham.
En: She comforted him.

Da: "Det er okay, Mikkel.
En: "It's okay, Mikkel.

Da: Vi finder en løsning," sagde hun stille og satte sig ved siden af ham på en bænk ved kanalen.
En: We'll find a solution," she said quietly, sitting beside him on a bench by the canal.

Da: Sammen nød de efterårssolen, mens Mikkel tænkte over, hvad der var sket.
En: Together, they enjoyed the autumn sun while Mikkel reflected on what had happened.

Da: Senere samme aften kom Jens over med en idé.
En: Later that evening, Jens came over with an idea.

Da: "Mikkel, jeg kan sælge nogle af mine malerier.
En: "Mikkel, I can sell some of my paintings.

Da: Vi kan dele overskuddet til at hjælpe dig," sagde Jens lidt nervøst.
En: We can share the profits to help you," Jens said a bit nervously.

Da: Mikkel tøvede, men Lykke kiggede opmuntrende på ham.
En: Mikkel hesitated, but Lykke looked encouragingly at him.

Da: "Vi er dine venner.
En: "We're your friends.

Da: Vi hjælper dig," sagde hun blidt.
En: We're here to help you," she said gently.

Da: Efter nogle dage besluttede Mikkel sig for at lytte til sine venner og sin læge.
En: After a few days, Mikkel decided to listen to his friends and his doctor.

Da: Han gik langsomt, men sikkert, mod bedring.
En: He moved slowly but surely towards recovery.

Da: Lykke og Jens var der hele tiden, og deres venskab voksede.
En: Lykke and Jens were there all the time, and their friendship grew stronger.

Da: Da efteråret begyndte at gå på hæld, følte Mikkel sig stærkere, ikke kun fysisk, men også mentalt.
En: As autumn started to fade, Mikkel felt stronger, not only physically but also mentally.

Da: Han indså, at heling krævede tid, og nogle gange var det okay at acceptere hjælp.
En: He realized that healing took time, and sometimes it was okay to accept help.

Da: I takt med at de sidste gyldne blade faldt i Nyhavn, følte Mikkel sig taknemmelig for det gode selskab og de lektioner, han havde lært.
En: As the last golden leaves fell in Nyhavn, Mikkel felt grateful for the good company and the lessons he had learned.

Da: Eventyret ved kanalen havde styrket deres bånd, og han vidste, at han snart ville være tilbage i caféen – klar til at tage imod det travle liv med en ny forståelse af tålmodighed og venskab.
En: The adventure by the canal had strengthened their bond, and he knew he would soon return to the café—ready to embrace the busy life with a new understanding of patience and friendship.
