Story Transcript:

Da: I det hjertelige, lille lokale bageri kunne duften af nybagte kager og smørbagte kanelsnegle mærkes længere end øjet kunne se.
En: In the cozy little local bakery, the scent of freshly baked cakes and buttery cinnamon rolls could be felt further than the eye could see.

Da: Jens, en køn midaldrende herre med runde briller, trådte ind i butikken for at købe sin yndlings apfelstrudel.
En: Jens, a handsome middle-aged gentleman with round glasses, entered the shop to buy his favorite apfelstrudel.

Da: Jens var lidt distræt den dag, og da han bestilte, sagde han ved en fejltagelse "100" i stedet for "1".
En: Jens was a bit absent-minded that day, and when he ordered, he accidentally said "100" instead of "1".

Da: "100 apfelstrudler?
En: "100 apfelstrudels?

Da: Er du sikker?
En: Are you sure?"

Da: " spurgte den overraskede bager.
En: the surprised baker asked.

Da: Jens rødmede, men tænkte, at det ville være for pinligt at rette fejlen.
En: Jens blushed, but he thought it would be too embarrassing to correct the mistake.

Da: Så han nikkede bare og betalte sin kæmpe ordre.
En: So he just nodded and paid for his huge order.

Da: Nu skulle han bare finde ud af, hvad han skulle gøre med alle de kager.
En: Now he just had to figure out what to do with all the cakes.

Da: I København var der en anden pinlig situation i gang.
En: In Copenhagen, another embarrassing situation was unfolding.

Da: På det danske kongeslot deltager Ingrid, dronningens hofdame, i en formel sammenkomst.
En: At the Danish royal palace, Ingrid, the queen's lady-in-waiting, was attending a formal gathering.

Da: Ingrid, der normalt er meget detaljeorienteret og elegant, glemmer ved et uheld sin kongelige etikette og spilder te på dronningens kjole.
En: Ingrid, who is usually very detail-oriented and elegant, accidentally spills tea on the queen's dress.

Da: Dronningen sender hende et koldt blik, og Ingrid kan mærke at hun rødmer, men hun bøjer hovedet og mumler en undskyldning.
En: The queen gives her a cold glance, and Ingrid can feel herself blushing, but she lowers her head and mumbles an apology.

Da: På samme tid i en traditionel dansk restaurant forsøger Lars at imponere sin date ved at spise et smørrebrød med spisepinde.
En: At the same time, in a traditional Danish restaurant, Lars is trying to impress his date by eating an open-faced sandwich with chopsticks.

Da: Det skaber et stort skue, mens stykker af sild og agurk falder fra hans bord og ned på gulvet.
En: It creates quite a spectacle as pieces of herring and cucumber fall from his plate onto the floor.

Da: Men Lars er persistent og fortsætter sit forsøg på at spise med spisepinde.
En: But Lars is persistent and continues his attempts to eat with chopsticks.

Da: Mens Lars kæmper med sit smørrebrød, tager Mette en tur i Tivoli med hendes venner.
En: While Lars struggles with his sandwich, Mette takes a trip to Tivoli with her friends.

Da: Hun er så ophidset, mens hun kører i rutsjebanen, at hun mister grebet om sin is og taber den ved et uheld ned på hovedet af en anden passager.
En: She gets so excited while riding the rollercoaster that she loses her grip on her ice cream and accidentally drops it on the head of another passenger.

Da: Mette undskylder straks, men kan ikke undgå at grine lidt over den sjove situation.
En: Mette immediately apologizes but can't help but laugh a little at the funny situation.

Da: I et sommerhus ude i det fri, forsøger Freja at bygge et bål.
En: In a cottage in the countryside, Freja attempts to build a bonfire.

Da: Men da et gnistre fra hendes bål flyver mod naboens hegn og sætter ild på det, bliver Freja panisk og løber for at hente en spand vand.
En: But when a spark from her fire flies towards the neighbor's fence and sets it on fire, Freja panics and runs to get a bucket of water.

Da: Endelig er der Henrik.
En: Lastly, there's Henrik.

Da: På stadion er han så ophidset over sit yndlingsholds sejrsmål, at han spilder sin øl over personen ved siden af ham.
En: At the stadium, he gets so excited about his favorite team's winning goal that he spills his beer on the person next to him.

Da: Den anden person vender sig mod ham og stirrer vredt på ham, men så bryder de begge ud i latter.
En: The other person turns towards him and stares angrily, but then they both burst into laughter.

Da: Til sidst mødes alle disse mennesker ved en velgørenhedsarrangement, hvor Jens helt ordner situationen ved at donere sine 100 apfelstrudler.
En: Finally, all these people meet at a charity event where Jens completely rectifies the situation by donating his 100 apfelstrudels.

Da: Ingrid undskylder til dronningen, der tilgiver hende.
En: Ingrid apologizes to the queen, who forgives her.

Da: Lars og Mette drikker en øl sammen og både Henrik og Freja griner over deres pinlige oplevelser.
En: Lars and Mette have a beer together, and both Henrik and Freja laugh about their embarrassing experiences.
