Story Transcript:
Da: Kasper stod foran det store udstillingsvindue.
En: Kasper stood in front of the big display window.
Da: Julelysene blinkede svagt fra hver eneste kant, og julesange strømmede ud fra højttalerne langs den travle gade.
En: The Christmas lights blinked faintly from every edge, and Christmas songs streamed out from the speakers along the busy street.
Da: Hans ånde var synlig i den kolde efterårsluft.
En: His breath was visible in the cold autumn air.
Da: I dag skulle han finde den perfekte julegave til sin lillesøster, Mia.
En: Today, he was going to find the perfect Christmas gift for his little sister, Mia.
Da: Inde i stormagasinet var der en hektisk stemning.

Da: Kasper følte sig fanget i mylderet, men han var fast besluttet.

Da: Han ønskede at give Mia noget særligt denne jul for at vise, hvor meget han satte pris på hende.

En: But a moment later, he reached for a classic, elegant art set.
Da: Han tøvede og så sig omkring.

En: At that moment, Oskar, his colleague, walked by.
Da: "Hej Kasper, julegaveindkøb?
En: "Hi Kasper, Christmas shopping?"
Da: " spurgte han muntert.
