Story Transcript:
Da: Det var en kølig efterårsdag i den danske natur, hvor gyldne blade dækkede jorden som et tæppe.
En: It was a cool autumn day in the danske countryside, where golden leaves covered the ground like a blanket.
Da: Astrid gik ad den gamle grusvej, hendes skridt lette, men hendes sind tungt af tanker.

Da: Hun havde tænkt meget over, hvordan hun kunne bringe sin familie tættere sammen igen.
En: She had been thinking a lot about how she could bring her family closer together again.
Da: I dag var dagen.
En: Today was the day.
Da: Høstfestivalen var vendt tilbage til deres lille by, og Astrid havde besluttet sig for at deltage.

En: She could smell the kanelsnegle and æbleskiver from afar.
Da: Hyggen og glæden fyldte luften.
En: The coziness and joy filled the air.
Da: Astrid huskede, hvordan hendes familie plejede at glæde sig over denne begivenhed.

Da: Hun henvendte sig til deres yngre fætter, Mikkel.
En: She approached their younger cousin, Mikkel.
Da: "Vil du ikke med?"
En: "Don't you want to come?"
Da: spurgte hun med et håb i stemmen.
En: she asked, hope in her voice.
Da: Mikkel tøvede først, men lod sig til sidst overtale.
En: Mikkel hesitated at first, but was finally persuaded.
Da: Han huskede også de glade stunder fra barndommen.
En: He also remembered the happy times from childhood.
Da: De nåede festivalen, hvor børn løb omkring og folk grinede.
En: They reached the festival, where children ran around and people laughed.
Da: Der var boder med håndlavede genstande, og musikken spillede munterligt i baggrunden.
En: There were stalls with handmade items, and music played merrily in the background.
Da: Astrid og Mikkel gik hen til den gamle laden, hvor en gruppe dansede folkedanse.
En: Astrid and Mikkel went to the old barn, where a group was dancing folk dances.
Da: Astrid tog en dyb indånding og gik hen til dem.
En: Astrid took a deep breath and walked over to them.
Da: Hun trak Mikkel med sig, og snart blev de en del af den snoede række.

En: People began to notice them.
Da: En venlig murmur steg op i skaren.
