Story Transcript:
Da: Solen skinnede lyst over Nyhavn kajen, og sommervarmen fik luften til at vibrere over det brostensbelagte gade.
En: The sun shone brightly over the Nyhavn quay, and the summer heat made the air vibrate above the cobblestone street.
Da: Astrid betragtede folkemylderet fra sin butik.
En: Astrid watched the bustling crowd from her shop.
Da: Hun havde altid en fornemmelse for nye trends, og noget havde fanget hendes øje.
En: She always had a knack for new trends, and something had caught her eye.
Da: Blandt de mange turister spottede hun flere med hvad der lignede hatte lavet af tang.
En: Among the many tourists, she spotted several wearing what looked like hats made of seaweed.
Da: "Det er den nye mode!"
En: "It's the new fashion!"
Da: erklærede hun til sin ven Lars, der netop kom ind i hendes butik for at købe sit daglige stykke wienerbrød.
En: she declared to her friend Lars, who had just entered her shop to buy his daily piece of Danish pastry.
Da: "Hatte lavet af tang?"
En: "Hats made of seaweed?"
Da: spurgte Lars og studsede over Astrids ivrige betoning.
En: Lars asked, puzzled by Astrid's eager emphasis.
Da: "Astrid, det er sikkert bare noget, de har fundet på, ikke en rigtig trend."
En: "Astrid, it's probably just something they came up with, not a real trend."
Da: Astrid rynkede brynene.
En: Astrid furrowed her brow.
Da: Hun var sikker på, at der lå muligheder i denne tendens.
En: She was certain there were opportunities in this trend.
Da: "Jeg er nødt til at handle hurtigt.
En: "I need to act quickly.
Da: Jeg kan lave dem selv," svarede hun beslutsomt og begyndte at samle materialer til at fremstille sine egne tanghatte.
En: I can make them myself," she replied determinedly and began gathering materials to create her own seaweed hats.
Da: Eftermiddagen gik med ivrig aktivitet imens Astrid knyttede, klippede og viklede tang omkring stel lavet af bast.
En: The afternoon passed with eager activity as Astrid tied, cut, and wrapped seaweed around frames made of bast.
Da: Lars rystede på hovedet, skeptisk, men så på med et lille smil i mundvigen.
En: Lars shook his head, skeptical, but watched with a small smile at the corner of his mouth.
Da: Lige inden solnedgang drejede en gruppe turister om hjørnet, stadig iført tanghatte.
En: Just before sunset, a group of tourists rounded the corner, still wearing seaweed hats.
Da: De lo højlydt, deres ansigter røde fra sol og saltvand.
En: They laughed loudly, their faces red from sun and saltwater.
Da: Turistgruppen drev gennem gaderne og udløste latter, pegen og kameraklik fra alle sider.
En: The group drifted through the streets, triggering laughter, pointing, and camera clicks from all directions.
Da: Astrid svajede triumferende til Lars.
En: Astrid swayed triumphantly to Lars.
Da: "Se!
En: "See!
Da: Jeg sagde, det var en trend!"
En: I told you it was a trend!"
Da: Men da gruppen nåede Astrids butik, afslørede de, at det hele var en spøg for en YouTube-kanal.
En: But as the group reached Astrid's shop, they revealed it was all a prank for a YouTube channel.
Da: Forsamlingen brød i latter, men Astrid lo sammen med dem, måbende over deres påfund.
En: The gathering burst into laughter, but Astrid laughed along with them, amazed by their invention.
