Da: Husene stod lineup, alle pyntet med farverige flag.

Da: Børnene løb omkring, mens de voksne småsnakkede ved de blomstrede borde, der bugnede med mad.
En: The children ran around while the adults chatted at the flower-laden tables, overflowing with food.
Da: Mikkel kiggede rundt.
En: Mikkel looked around.
Da: Han var ny i kvarteret og følte sig lidt akavet.
En: He was new to the neighborhood and felt a bit awkward.
Da: Han var aldrig god til store arrangementer.
En: He was never good at large gatherings.
Da: Han ønskede mest af alt at finde nye venner og blive accepteret.

Da: Mød folk!"
En: Meet people!"
Da: Mikkels hjerte slog hurtigere.
