Story Transcript:
Da: Sneen dalede blidt over København, og Tivoli Gardens lyste op som et magisk landskab med tusindvis af funklende lys.
En: The snow fell gently over København, and Tivoli Gardens lit up like a magical landscape with thousands of sparkling lights.
Da: Luften var fyldt med duften af ristede mandler og krydrede gløgg.
En: The air was filled with the scent of roasted almonds and spiced gløgg.
Da: Mikkel gik gennem de travle gader i Tivoli sammen med sin ven Jonas.
En: Mikkel walked through the busy streets of Tivoli with his friend Jonas.
Da: "Vi skal finde den perfekte gave til Emma," sagde Mikkel bestemt.
En: "We need to find the perfect gift for Emma," said Mikkel determinedly.
Da: Jonas nikkede.
En: Jonas nodded.
Da: "Det er tæt på jul nu, og butikkerne bliver hurtigt tømt."
En: "It's close to Christmas now, and the shops will soon be emptied."
Da: Mikkel tænkte på, hvor meget Emma betød for ham.
En: Mikkel thought about how much Emma meant to him.
Da: Hun var hans klippe, og han ønskede at vise hende, hvor meget han satte pris på hende.
En: She was his rock, and he wanted to show her how much he appreciated her.
Da: Men hver butik de besøgte havde enten for dyre eller ikke-personlige gaver.
En: But every store they visited had either too expensive or impersonal gifts.
Da: Mikkel følte sig presset, da han så de lange køer og de mange mennesker, der også jagtede efter de perfekte julegaver.
En: Mikkel felt pressured as he saw the long lines and the many people also hunting for the perfect Christmas gifts.
Da: De nærmede sig julemarkedet, hvor små boder bød på alverdens håndværk.
En: They approached the Christmas market, where small stalls offered all kinds of crafts.
Da: Der var pyntegenstande, tøj og smykker.
En: There were ornaments, clothing, and jewelry.
Da: "Måske skal jeg købe noget dyrt," tænkte Mikkel højt.
En: "Maybe I should buy something expensive," Mikkel thought out loud.
Da: Men Jonas rystede på hovedet.
En: But Jonas shook his head.
Da: "Noget, der kommer fra hjertet, vil nok betyde mere."
En: "Something that comes from the heart will probably mean more."
Da: Pludselig fik en stand Mikkels øje.
En: Suddenly a stand caught Mikkel's eye.
Da: Den solgte håndlavede juleornamenter.
En: It sold handmade Christmas ornaments.
Da: Et af ornamenterne mindede ham om deres første date i Tivoli, hvor de havde spist candyfloss og set fyrværkeri.
En: One of the ornaments reminded him of their first date in Tivoli, where they had eaten cotton candy and watched fireworks.
Da: Den lille engel lignede en, de havde set sammen den aften.
En: The little angel looked like one they had seen together that night.
Da: Mikkel blev fyldt med glæde ved tanken om den aften.
En: Mikkel was filled with joy at the thought of that evening.
Da: Han besluttede sig.
En: He decided.
Da: Det skulle være denne lille engel, som symboliserede starten på deres kærlighed.
En: It would be this little angel, which symbolized the start of their love.
Da: Han kunne mærke, at det var det helt rigtige.
En: He could feel that it was exactly the right choice.
Da: Senere, da han gav Emma gaven, lyste hendes ansigt op.
En: Later, when he gave Emma the gift, her face lit up.
Da: "Jeg husker den aften," smilede hun.
