Story Transcript:
Da: Det var en varm sensommerdag.
En: It was a warm late summer day.
Da: Mikkel stod i baghaven, omgivet af den grønne plæne og grillens lokkende duft.
En: Mikkel stood in the backyard, surrounded by the green lawn and the enticing smell of the grill.
Da: Han ville gøre familien stolt.
En: He wanted to make the family proud.
Da: Hans og Frederik, hans to fætre, hjalp allerede med at sætte borde op på terrassen.
En: Hans and Frederik, his two cousins, were already helping set up tables on the patio.
Da: Solen skinnede, og alt så perfekt ud.
En: The sun was shining, and everything looked perfect.
Da: "Åh, det bliver godt," sagde Mikkel for sig selv, med et stort smil.
En: “Oh, this is going to be great,” Mikkel said to himself, with a big smile.
Da: Han havde arbejdet hårdt for at forberede denne grillfest.
En: He had worked hard to prepare this barbecue party.
Da: Kød lå klar på grillen.
En: Meat was ready on the grill.
Da: Salater og kartofler pyntede bordene.
En: Salads and potatoes adorned the tables.
Da: Børnene løb rundt på græsset.
En: The children ran around on the grass.
Da: Det kunne ikke blive bedre.
En: It couldn't get any better.
Da: Pludselig, som fra intetsteds, blev luften fyldt med et højt susende lyd.
En: Suddenly, out of nowhere, the air filled with a loud whooshing sound.
Da: Sprinklerne skød op af jorden og begyndte at sprøjte vand over det hele.
En: The sprinklers shot up from the ground and started spraying water everywhere.
Da: "Åh nej!" råbte Mikkel, da han så sine gæster og maden blive gennemblødte.
En: “Oh no!” shouted Mikkel, as he saw his guests and the food getting soaked.
Da: Hans og Frederik prøvede at dække maden, men indsatsen var forgæves.
En: Hans and Frederik tried to cover the food, but the effort was in vain.
Da: Mikkel vidste, han måtte handle hurtigt.
En: Mikkel knew he had to act fast.
Da: Han løb hen til sprinklersystemet ved hjørnet af huset.
En: He ran to the sprinkler system at the corner of the house.
Da: Han havde læst om, hvordan man slukkede det men aldrig gjort det selv.
En: He had read about how to turn it off but had never done it himself.
Da: Idet han bøjede sig ned for at slukke systemet, snublede han og ramte en anden kontakt.
En: As he bent down to turn off the system, he tripped and hit another switch.
Da: Nu pumpede sprinker-systemet vand med dobbelt styrke.
En: Now the sprinkler system was pumping water with double the strength.
Da: Børnene hujede og lo, mens de sprang i de mange små vandstråler.
En: The children cheered and laughed as they played in the many small water jets.
Da: Mikkel kiggede op og så kaosset.
En: Mikkel looked up and saw the chaos.
Da: Hans første tanke var panik, men så... noget ændrede sig.
En: His first thought was panic, but then... something changed.
Da: Han så familiens grinende ansigter, børnene som elskede vandkampen.
En: He saw the family's laughing faces, the children loving the water fight.
Da: Hans indre perfektionist gav slip.
En: His inner perfectionist let go.
Da: Han begyndte at grine.
En: He started to laugh.
Da: Hans råbte: "Kom nu, Mikkel, vær med!"
En: Hans shouted: “Come on, Mikkel, join in!”
Da: Med en latter, der kunne høres o
