Story Transcript:
Sv: Det var en het sommardag när Linnea promenerade genom skolgården.
En: It was a hot summer day when Linnea walked across the schoolyard.
Sv: Solen sken starkt och antalet dagar tills skolstart minskade snabbt.
En: The sun shone brightly, and the number of days until school started again was quickly decreasing.
Sv: Linnea var en duktig elev, alltid noggrann med sina studier.
En: Linnea was a good student, always diligent with her studies.
Sv: Men nu hade hon ett problem: hon behövde en ny ryggsäck.
En: But now she had a problem: she needed a new backpack.
Sv: "Jag vill ha en ryggsäck som verkligen är jag," sa Linnea till sin syster Astrid medan de lunchade.
En: "I want a backpack that really represents me," said Linnea to her sister Astrid while they had lunch.
Sv: "Ja, men det borde också vara praktiskt," svarade Astrid klokt.
En: "Yes, but it should also be practical," replied Astrid wisely.
Sv: "Du bär alltid så många böcker."
En: "You always carry so many books."
Sv: Just då dök Johan upp, alltid avslappnad och full av idéer.
En: Just then, Johan showed up, always relaxed and full of ideas.
Sv: "Hej, tjejer!
En: "Hi, girls!
Sv: Vad snackar ni om?"
En: What are you talking about?"
Sv: "Ryggsäckar," suckade Linnea.
En: "Backpacks," sighed Linnea.
Sv: "Jag vill ha en som passar min stil men som också är praktisk."
En: "I want one that fits my style but is also practical."
Sv: "Det fixar vi," sa Johan med ett leende.
En: "We'll sort it out," said Johan with a smile.
Sv: Dagen efter åkte de alla tre till köpcentret.
En: The next day, all three of them went to the mall.
Sv: Det var fullt av folk som också var ute efter skolsaker.
En: It was full of people also out looking for school supplies.
Sv: Lite överväldigad gick Linnea genom hyllorna tills hon hittade en trendig, dyr ryggsäck.
En: A little overwhelmed, Linnea walked through the aisles until she found a trendy, expensive backpack.
Sv: Den såg fantastisk ut, men hade knappt plats för mer än några få böcker.
En: It looked fantastic, but barely had space for more than a few books.
Sv: Johan klappade henne på axeln.
En: Johan patted her on the shoulder.
Sv: "Den är snygg, men vad hände med böckerna?"
En: "It looks nice, but what happened to the books?"
Sv: "Jag vet inte," svarade Linnea tveksamt.
En: "I don't know," Linnea answered hesitantly.
Sv: Hon funderade länge medan de fortsatte att titta bland de andra ryggsäckarna.
En: She thought for a long time as they continued to look among the other backpacks.
Sv: Plötsligt såg Johan något.
En: Suddenly, Johan saw something.
Sv: "Vad sägs om den här?"
En: "How about this one?"
Sv: De gick fram till en hylla där en ensam ryggsäck hängde.
En: They walked over to a shelf where a lone backpack hung.
Sv: Den var perfekt, både stilren och med flera fack för Linneas alla behov.
En: It was perfect, both sleek and with several compartments for Linnea's every need.
Sv: Det fanns bara en kvar.
En: There was only one left.
Sv: "Den är perfekt!"
En: "It's perfect!"
Sv: utbrast Linnea med glädje.
En: exclaimed Linnea with joy.
Sv: Hon kollade prislappen och log ännu bredare.
En: She checked the price tag and smiled even wider.<
