Story Transcript:

Da: Københavns Gademarked sitrede af liv.
En: Copenhagen's Street Market buzzed with life.

Da: Folk flyttede sig mellem boderne, nogle med farverige tørklæder, andre med fine skulpturer og malerier.
En: People moved between stalls, some with colorful scarves, others with fine sculptures and paintings.

Da: Midt i vrimlen stod Sofie og Mikkel ved deres bod.
En: Amidst the crowd stood Sofie and Mikkel at their booth.

Da: Solen skinnede højt på himlen, og duften af nygrillet mad fyldte luften.
En: The sun shone high in the sky, and the air was filled with the scent of freshly grilled food.

Da: Det var Sankthansaften, og alle fejrede midsommer med glæde.
En: It was Midsummer's Eve, and everyone celebrated the midsummer with joy.

Da: Sofie havde arbejdet hårdt på sine malerier.
En: Sofie had worked hard on her paintings.

Da: Hun drømte om at blive anerkendt i kunstverdenen.
En: She dreamed of being recognized in the art world.

Da: Mikkel stod ved hendes side, klar til at hjælpe på enhver måde.
En: Mikkel stood by her side, ready to help in any way.

Da: "Det ser godt ud, skat," sagde Mikkel og smilte varmt.
En: "It looks good, honey," said Mikkel with a warm smile.

Da: I boden ved siden af stod Katrine, en etableret kunstner og Sofies mentor.
En: At the neighboring booth stood Katrine, an established artist and Sofie’s mentor.

Da: Katrine havde altid været støttende, men Sofie havde for nylig mærket noget andet i hendes holdning.
En: Katrine had always been supportive, but recently Sofie had sensed something different in her demeanor.

Da: En lille tvivl, en lille skepsis.
En: A little doubt, a little skepticism.

Da: "Sofie, du skal være realistisk med dine mål," havde Katrine sagt tidligere.
En: "Sofie, you need to be realistic with your goals," Katrine had said earlier.

Da: "Måske skulle du vise dine mere traditionelle værker."
En: "Maybe you should showcase your more traditional works."

Da: Men der var noget indeni Sofie, der strittede imod.
En: But there was something inside Sofie that resisted.

Da: Hendes hjerte bankede for hendes mere utraditionelle stykker med vilde farver og abstrakte former.
En: Her heart beat for her more unconventional pieces with wild colors and abstract forms.

Da: Hun vidste, det var en risiko, men hun besluttede at følge sin mavefornemmelse.
En: She knew it was a risk, but she decided to follow her gut feeling.

Da: Hun hængte sine mest dristige malerier frem.
En: She hung up her boldest paintings.

Da: Mikkel kastede hende et opmuntrende blik.
En: Mikkel gave her an encouraging look.

Da: Kunde for kunde kom forbi, nogle beundrede, andre gik videre.
En: Customer after customer walked by; some admired, others moved on.

Da: Sofie kæmpede med sin tvivl.
En: Sofie wrestled with her doubt.

Da: Kunne hun klare det?
En: Could she do it?

Da: Var hun god nok?
En: Was she good enough?

Da: Pludselig stoppede en velklædt mand foran boden.
En: Suddenly, a well-dressed man stopped in front of the booth.

Da: Hans kritiske øjne skimmede malerierne.
En: His critical eyes skimmed over the paintings.

Da: "Er det dine værker?"
En: "Are these your works?"

Da: spurgte han roligt.
En: he asked calmly.

Da: Sofie nikkede, hendes puls steg.
En: Sofie nodded, her pulse quickened.

Da: Manden var en kendt kunstkritiker, og hans mening kunne gøre en stor forskel.
En: The man was a noted art critic, and his opinion could make a big difference.

Da: Han studerede hvert maleri nøje.
En: He studied each painting carefully.

Da: Der var stille for en stund, og Sofie følte, som om tiden stod stille.
En: There was silence for a moment, and Sofie felt as if time stood still.

Da: Så smilte han.
En: Then he smiled.

Da: "Der er noget unikt her.
En: "There is something unique here.

Da: Noget særligt.
En: Something special.

Da: Du har en stærk vision.
En: You have a strong vision.

Da: Jeg vil gerne skrive om det."
En: I want to write about it."

Da: Sofies hjerte sprang et slag over.
En: Sofie's heart skipped a beat.

Da: Kritikerens ord bredte sig hurtigt, og i løbet af kort tid begyndte folk at flokkes omkring hendes bod.
En: The critic's words spread quickly, and soon people began to flock around her booth.

Da: Flere og flere købte hendes værker.
En: More and more people bought her works.

Da: Sofie følte noget nyt vokse inden i sig—selvtillid.
En: Sofie felt something new growing inside her—confidence.

Da: Katrine kom forbi senere på dagen.
En: Katrine came by later that day.

Da: Hun så overrasket ud, men også imponeret.
En: She looked surprised, but also impressed.

Da: "Det ser ud til, du har fundet din vej, Sofie," sagde hun.
En: "It looks like you've found your path, Sofie," she said.

Da: Der var en ny respekt i hendes stemme.
En: There was a new respect in her voice.

Da: Da markedet lukkede, var Sofies bod næsten tom.
En: When the market closed, Sofie’s booth was nearly empty.

Da: Hun havde solgt mange værker og følte sig stærk og sikker.
En: She had sold many works and felt strong and confident.

Da: Mikkel holdt om hende.
En: Mikkel held her.

Da: "Jeg vidste, du kunne," sagde han stille.
En: "I knew you could do it," he said quietly.

Da: Sofie smilte.
En: Sofie smiled.

Da: Hun havde lært noget stort i dag—at tro på sig selv og sin kunst.
En: She had learned something significant today—to believe in herself and her art.

Da: Hun vidste, at vejen fremad ville have sine udfordringer, men hun var klar til at møde dem med hovedet højt.
En: She knew the road ahead would have its challenges, but she was ready to face them with her head held high.

Da: København var stadig lysende og fuld af liv, mens de gik hjemad.
En: Copenhagen was still bright and full of life as they walked home.

Da: De vidste, de ville fejre denne Sankthansaften med en særlig glæde.
En: They knew they would celebrate this Midsummer's Eve with special joy.

Da: Sofie havde fundet sin stemme og var klar til verden.
En: Sofie had found her voice and was ready for the world.
