Story Transcript:
Da: Regnen trommede stille mod ruderne, mens Freja stirrede ud i den grå, københavnske morgen.
En: The rain drummed softly against the windows as Freja gazed out at the gray, københavnske morning.
Da: Børnene i børnehjemmet skreg af fryd, når de sprang fra den ene tørre plet til den anden i jagt efter de sidste farverige blade.
En: The children at the orphanage squealed with delight as they leapt from one dry spot to another in search of the last colorful leaves.
Da: Freja havde en mission.
En: Freja had a mission.
Da: Hun ville skabe et uforglemmeligt efterårsforestilling for børnene.
En: She wanted to create an unforgettable autumn performance for the children.
Da: Men ressourcerne var knappe.
En: But resources were scarce.
Da: Lars, den nævenyttige frivillige, trådte ind i aktivitetssalen.
En: Lars, the meddlesome volunteer, stepped into the activity room.
Da: "Freja, hvad med budgettet?
En: "Freja, what about the budget?
Da: Vi har kun det halve af, hvad vi havde håbet på," sagde han, mens han skævede til de sparsomme dekorationer.
En: We have only half of what we had hoped for," he said, glancing at the sparse decorations.
Da: Freja smilede skævt.
En: Freja smiled wryly.
Da: "Vi må være kreative.
En: "We must be creative.
Da: Lad os se, hvad vi har."
En: Let's see what we have."
Da: Kasper, en opvakt dreng med en kærlighed for historier og kunst, sprang hen til dem.
En: Kasper, an observant boy with a love for stories and art, sprang up to them.
Da: "Jeg kan lave noget med det her!"
En: "I can make something with this!"
Da: råbte han og holdt en bunke gamle magasiner op.
En: he exclaimed, holding up a pile of old magazines.
Da: Freja nikkede.
En: Freja nodded.
Da: "Og lommelygterne?
En: "And the flashlights?

En: We can use them as lanterns," suggested Lars, mentioning the resource crisis to everyone.
Da: I de kommende dage arbejdede de hårdt.
En: In the coming days, they worked hard.
Da: Gamle plakater blev til collager, og lommelygterne blev indhyllet i farvet papir, udformet af børnenes små, ivrige hænder.
En: Old posters turned into collages, and the flashlights were wrapped in colored paper, crafted by the children's small, eager hands.
Da: Deres kreativitet kendte ingen grænser, og snart forvandlede de huset til en varm, gylden oase.
En: Their creativity knew no bounds, and soon they transformed the house into a warm, golden oasis.
Da: Dagen for festivalen oprandt.
En: The day of the festival dawned.
Da: Håbet var højt, men skyerne truede.
En: Hope was high, but the clouds loomed.
Da: Da festlighederne skulle til at begynde, åbnede himlen sig.
En: Just as the festivities were about to start, the sky opened up.
Da: Regnen strømmede ned, og udendørs festligheder blev umulige.
En: The rain poured down, making outdoor celebrations impossible.

En: "Hold it here,
