Story Transcript:
Da: Det var en kold vintermorgen i København.
En: It was a cold winter morning in København.
Da: Sneen faldt stille ned over byen, og lyset fra de mange julelys glimtede i takt med snefnuggene.
En: The snow fell quietly over the city, and the light from the many Christmas lights twinkled in time with the snowflakes.
Da: Ved Langelinie stod Den Lille Havfrue og kiggede ud over det grå, kolde hav.
En: At Langelinie, the Den Lille Havfrue statue gazed out over the gray, cold sea.
Da: I nærheden stod Lars, som var en håbefuld romantiker med planer om noget meget særligt.
En: Nearby stood Lars, a hopeful romantic with plans for something very special.
Da: Lars skulle fri til sin kæreste, Mette, ved havfruestatuen.
En: Lars was going to propose to his girlfriend, Mette, by the mermaid statue.
Da: Han havde planlagt alt.
En: He had planned everything.
Da: Aftalen med sin ven Søren, der skulle agere støtte, var på plads.
En: The arrangement with his friend Søren, who was to provide support, was in place.
Da: Mette anede intet om Lars' planer.
En: Mette suspected nothing about Lars' plans.
Da: Hun troede, de bare skulle se på juleudstillingerne i byen.
En: She thought they were just going to see the Christmas displays in the city.
Da: Men Lars, han bar på en hemmelig frygt - hvad hvis han ikke var god nok for Mette?
En: But Lars, he harbored a secret fear—what if he wasn't good enough for Mette?
Da: Denne dag skulle vise ham svaret.
En: This day would show him the answer.
Da: Lars mærkede ringens vægt i lommen og tog en dyb indånding.
En: Lars felt the weight of the ring in his pocket and took a deep breath.
Da: Han gik mod statuen med Mette ved sin side.
En: He walked toward the statue with Mette by his side.
Da: Lige som han bøjede sig for at finde ringæsken frem, skete det utænkelige.
En: Just as he bent down to retrieve the ring box, the unthinkable happened.
Da: Æsken gled ud af hans hånd og plumpede i det iskolde vand.
En: The box slipped from his hand and plummeted into the icy water.
Da: Panik greb hans hjerte, og Søren så til med store øjne.
En: Panic gripped his heart, and Søren watched with wide eyes.
Da: Lars stod over for sit livs sværeste beslutning.
En: Lars faced the most difficult decision of his life.
Da: Skulle han springe i det isnende vand og finde ringen?
En: Should he jump into the freezing water and retrieve the ring?
Da: Eller tænke hurtigt efter en ny plan?
En: Or quickly think up a new plan?
Da: Lars tænkte ikke længe.
En: Lars didn't think for long.
Da: Kærligheden til Mette, og tanken om hendes smil, fik ham til at tage springet.
En: His love for Mette, and the thought of her smile, prompted him to take the plunge.
Da: Vandet var som tusinde nåle mod hans hud.
En: The water was like a thousand needles against his skin.
Da: Men Lars tænkte kun på én ting: ringen.
En: But Lars thought only of one thing: the ring.
Da: Han dykkede og rodede i det mudrede vand.
En: He dove and rummaged in the muddy water.
Da: Søren holdt Mette i skak med småsnak om København og julelys.
En: Søren kept Mette distracted with small talk about København and the Christmas lights.
Da: Langt om længe brød Lars vandoverfladen igen.
En: At long last, Lars broke the water'
