Story Transcript:
Da: Søren kiggede op mod de truende skyer, mens han gik gennem de farverige blomsterbede i Tivoli.
En: Søren looked up at the threatening clouds as he walked through the colorful flower beds in Tivoli.
Da: Han elskede sit arbejde som vedligeholdelsesmedarbejder; det holdt ham i naturen, og han nød at bidrage til skønheden omkring ham.
En: He loved his job as a maintenance worker; it kept him in nature, and he enjoyed contributing to the beauty around him.
Da: Ved siden af ham gik Lise, som var fuldt opslugt af at arrangere blomsterne.
En: Next to him, Lise was fully absorbed in arranging the flowers.
Da: Hun drømte om en dag at blive gartner her, hvor hun kunne forvandle sine ideer til virkelighed.
En: She dreamed of one day becoming a gardener here, where she could turn her ideas into reality.
Da: "Tid til at tage en pause?"
En: "Time for a break?"
Da: spurgte Søren og pegede på bænken ved siden af den velplejede sti.
En: asked Søren, pointing to the bench beside the well-maintained path.
Da: Men Lise rystede på hovedet.
En: But Lise shook her head.
Da: "Jeg vil gøre indtryk på hovedgartneren i dag.
En: "I want to make an impression on the head gardener today.
Da: Han kommer forbi snart, og jeg vil vise ham, hvad jeg kan."
En: He's coming by soon, and I want to show him what I can do."
Da: Søren smilede til Lise, men han huskede også sin søsters fødselsdag senere på dagen.
En: Søren smiled at Lise, but he also remembered his sister's birthday later in the day.
Da: Han ville ikke gå glip af det, men han vidste også, hvor meget Lise havde brug for hans hjælp med de tunge planter.
En: He didn't want to miss it, but he also knew how much Lise needed his help with the heavy plants.
Da: Timerne fløj afsted, og sommerens vidunderlige varme begyndte langsomt at ændre sig til en lummer stilhed.
En: The hours flew by, and the wonderful warmth of summer slowly began to change into a humid stillness.
Da: Pludselig skiftede luften, og skyerne blev næsten sorte.
En: Suddenly, the air shifted, and the clouds became almost black.
Da: "Det ser slemt ud," bemærkede Lise, bekymret.
En: "It looks bad," Lise remarked, worried.
Da: "Hvis det regner nu, kan blomsterne blive ødelagt."
En: "If it rains now, the flowers could be ruined."
Da: "Vi kan klare det," sagde Søren, men tanken om fødselsdagen fyldte hans tanker.
En: "We can handle it," said Søren, but the thought of the birthday filled his mind.
Da: Pludselig satte vinden op, folk i tivoli begyndte at skynde sig mod udgangen.
En: Suddenly, the wind picked up, and people in Tivoli began rushing toward the exit.
Da: Lise blev stående på sin post, fast besluttet på at redde blomsterbedene.
En: Lise stood her ground, determined to save the flower beds.
Da: "Hej, Lise!"
En: "Hey, Lise!"
Da: råbte Søren gennem den stigende vind.
En: shouted Søren through the rising wind.
Da: "Jeg bliver nødt til at gå snart."
En: "I have to go soon."
Da: "Hjælp mig bare lidt endnu, Søren," bad Lise.
En: "Just help me a little longer, Søren," pleaded Lise.
Da: "Vi kan ikke miste disse blomster."
En: "We can't lose these flowers."
Da: Søren tøvede.
En: Søren hesitated.
Da: Ville han svigte Lise?
En: Would he let Lise down?
Da: Han tænkte på, hvad hans mor altid sagde:
