21
00:01:42.489 --> 00:01:47.659
Tivoli looked more beautiful than ever with her Christmas light,
22
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.409
that glimpsed towards the gray sky. Freya wandered through the sea,
23
00:01:52.459 --> 00:01:56.079
covered in her warm jacket, while the scent of burnt
24
00:01:56.099 --> 00:02:00.430
almonds and happiness filled the air. Hun elskede denne tid
25
00:02:00.469 --> 00:02:04.569
på året. For henne var det stedet, hvor hun søgte
26
00:02:04.609 --> 00:02:10.030
ro fra skolelivets travlighed. Ikke langt væk gik Magnus langs stierne.
27
00:02:11.469 --> 00:02:14.409
Han havde netop afsluttet sin vagt som frivillig, hvor han
28
00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:17.250
hjalpe søen med at finde vej og spredte god stemning
29
00:02:17.270 --> 00:02:21.370
bland gæsterne. Hertil kom han ofte for at glemme sine
30
00:02:21.389 --> 00:02:26.229
bekymringer derhjemme. Da snifnupene begyndte at falde blidt fra himmelen,
31
00:02:26.789 --> 00:02:31.379
hørtes et barns grædende stemme. Freja and Magnus were both

32
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.659
attracted by the sound and crossed the stairs on their
33
00:02:33.710 --> 00:02:36.909
way to a little girl, Astrid, who was standing alone
34
00:02:36.930 --> 00:02:40.849
by one of the boats. Astrid had lost her parents
35
00:02:40.889 --> 00:02:47.189
and Syne midway through the big Christmas carousel. Are you okay?
36
00:02:47.229 --> 00:02:52.270
Freja asked, as she bent down to Astrid's level. Magnus
37
00:02:52.310 --> 00:02:57.150
came to and smiled cheerfully. We'll probably help you find
38
00:02:57.169 --> 00:03:01.310
your parents, he said in a pressuring voice. Sammen med
39
00:03:01.349 --> 00:03:06.169
personalet i Tivoli, Freja og Magnus, bragt Astrid tæt af mødestedene,
40
00:03:06.189 --> 00:03:11.659
hvor hennes forældre snart kom løbende, tydeligt lettede. Efter kram
41
00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:15.000
og taknemmelige ord sagde Astrid farvel, og forlod med sine
42
00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:19.699
forældre i hånden. Freja og Magnus blev stående og kiggede
43
00:03:19.740 --> 00:03:24.909
på hinanden med forståeligt smil. Der var noget særligt, en forbindelse,
44
00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:31.689
der opstod mellem dem. Takk for hjelpen, sagde Freja. Hun
45
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.750
tog en dyb indånding og følte en uventet trang til
46
00:03:34.849 --> 00:03:38.129
at åbne sig lidt. Jeg kommer her ofte for at
47
00:03:38.150 --> 00:03:42.930
finde lidt ro i al festligheden. Magnus nikkede og svarede,
48
00:03:43.349 --> 00:03:46.889
jeg forstår dig godt. Jeg kommer her for at slippe
49
00:03:46.909 --> 00:03:52.210
væk fra ting derhjemme. Hans stemme afslørede en sårbarhed, som
50
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.039
han sjældent lod andre se. Imens de gik videre, snakket
51
00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:59.800
de om alt fra skolen til deres yndlingssteder i København.
52
00:04:01.379 --> 00:04:03.979
Da de nåde et punkt med udsigt over den oplyste hag,
53
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.620
stoppede de jo nød stille øjeblik sammen. Det var her,
54
00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:11.710
begge inså, hvor meget det havde manglet en som den
55
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:17.829
anden i deres liv. Skal vi mødes igen? Spurte Freja,
56
00:04:18.490 --> 00:04:20.829
og henne stemme bare på et håb uden anklang af
57
00:04:20.889 --> 00:04:25.959
tidligere erfaring og skuffelse. Magnus så på henne, med et smil,
58
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.459
da nåde hans øjne. Ja, det vil jeg meget gerne.
59
00:04:30.949 --> 00:04:36.240
He replied. When they exchanged phone numbers, it felt as
60
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.040
if they had found each other at the right moment.
61
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.579
With the snow that continued to dance around them, they
62
00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:46.720
returned to their respective lives, now with a new understanding
63
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.360
and inspiring relationship that could change everything. Instead of going
64
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.769
from there as two strangers, they became worse, but with
65
00:04:54.790 --> 00:04:58.250
a new connection and promise that they no longer needed
66
00:04:58.269 --> 00:05:03.360
to meet challenges alone. Freya had found a friend, and
67
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:07.550
Magnus had found a faithful ally. In the spirit of Christmas,
68
00:05:07.569 --> 00:05:12.269
something beautiful started, a bond that Tivoli's magic sword could
69
00:05:12.410 --> 00:05:12.829
only extend.
70
00:05:14.069 --> 00:05:17.189
Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you
71
00:05:17.209 --> 00:05:17.829
may have missed.
72
00:05:18.550 --> 00:05:23.069
It was a cool afternoon, and Tivoli looked more beautiful
73
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.139
than ever with his Christmas light, that glimpsed towards the
74
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:27.879
gray sky.
75
00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:32.829
It was a cool afternoon, and Tivoli looked more beautiful
76
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.060
than ever with its Christmas lights sparkling against the gray sky.
77
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:41.759
Freja wandered through the garden, wrapped in her warm jacket,
78
00:05:42.420 --> 00:05:45.040
while the scent of burnt almonds and happiness filled the air.
79
00:05:45.060 --> 00:05:45.920
She loved this time.
80
00:05:47.639 --> 00:06:10.089
Of year. For her, it was the place where she
81
00:06:10.129 --> 00:06:12.170
sought peace from the busyness of school life.
82
00:06:13.430 --> 00:06:16.410
Not far away, Magnus walked along the paths.
83
00:06:32.339 --> 00:06:35.120
He had just finished his shift as a volunteer, where
84
00:06:35.139 --> 00:06:37.790
he helped visitors find their way and spread good cheer
85
00:06:37.850 --> 00:06:47.209
among the guests. He often came here to forget his
86
00:06:47.250 --> 00:06:47.949
worries at home.
87
00:06:47.970 --> 00:06:52.069
As snowflakes began to gently fall from the sky, a
88
00:06:52.790 --> 00:07:04.389
child's crying voice was heard. Freya and Magnus were both
89
00:07:04.430 --> 00:07:07.389
attracted to the sound and crossed the stairs on their
90
00:07:07.430 --> 00:07:09.939
way to a little girl, Astrid, who was standing alone
91
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.040
by one of the boats. Astrid had lost her parents
92
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:12.779
and Synemith in the.
93
00:07:12.740 --> 00:07:31.370
Big Christmas mills. Astrid had lost sight of her parents
94
00:07:31.529 --> 00:07:46.600
amid the bustling Christmas crowd. Are you okay? Asked Freja gently,
95
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:48.360
bending down to Astrid's level.
96
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:52.660
Magnus came over and smiled encouragingly.
97
00:08:04.660 --> 00:08:07.300
We'll help you find your parents, he said reassuringly.
98
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:13.449
Together with the staff in Tivoli, Freja and Magnus brought
99
00:08:13.589 --> 00:08:16.529
Astrid to one of the meeting points.
100
00:08:26.910 --> 00:08:39.450
Where her parents soon came running, visibly relieved. After hugs
101
00:08:39.509 --> 00:08:43.090
and words of gratitude,
Astrid said goodbye and left, hand
102
00:08:43.129 --> 00:08:44.169
in hand with her parents.
103
00:08:45.509 --> 00:08:48.820
Freja and Magnus stood still, looking at each other with
104
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:50.519
an understanding smile.
105
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.740
There was something special, a connection that had formed between them.
106
00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:15.320
Thank you for the help, said Freja.
107
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.389
She took a deep breath and felt an unexpected urge
108
00:09:20.409 --> 00:09:29.960
to open up a little. Jeg kommer her ofte for
109
00:09:29.980 --> 00:09:32.179
at finde lidt ro i all festligheden.
110
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.639
I often come here to find some peace amidst all
111
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:37.399
the festivities.
112
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:42.360
Magnus nikkede og svarede, jeg forstår dig godt.
113
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.139
Magnus nodded and replied, I understand you well.
114
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.210
Jeg kommer her for at slippe væk fra ting derhjemme.
115
00:09:53.330 --> 00:09:54.929
I come here to escape things at home.
116
00:09:56.149 --> 00:10:01.450
Hans stemme afsløred en sårbarhed. Som han siger... let others see.
117
00:10:03.309 --> 00:10:06.470
His voice revealed a vulnerability he rarely let others see.
118
00:10:16.029 --> 00:10:18.909
As they walked on, they talked about everything from school
119
00:10:18.970 --> 00:10:20.850
to their favorite places in Copenhagen.
120
00:10:21.909 --> 00:10:25.289
Da de nåde et punkt med udsigt over den oplyste hag,
121
00:10:26.149 --> 00:10:28.799
stopped de oven ned stille øjeblik sammen.
122
00:10:30.700 --> 00:10:33.419
When they reached a vantage point over the illuminated garden,
123
00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:36.240
they stopped and enjoyed a quiet moment together.
124
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.409
Det var her, begge inså, hvor meget det havde manglet
125
00:10:41.529 --> 00:10:43.149
en som den anden i deres liv.
126
00:10:45.250 --> 00:10:47.330
It was here that both realized how much they had
127
00:10:47.409 --> 00:10:49.230
missed someone like the other in their lives.
128
00:10:50.490 --> 00:10:51.860
Ska vi medes igen?
129
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:54.679
Shall we meet again?
130
00:10:55.860 --> 00:11:00.139
Spurte Freja, og henne stemme bare på et håb uden
131
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.100
anklang af tidlige erfaringer skuffelse.
132
00:11:05.059 --> 00:11:08.039
Asked Freja, her voice carrying a hope devoid of the
133
00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:10.000
disappointment of past experiences.
134
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:13.779
Magnus så på henne med et smil.
135
00:11:17.590 --> 00:11:27.240
Magnus looked at her with a smile that reached his eyes. Yes,
136
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.039
I'd really like that, he replied.
137
00:11:29.059 --> 00:11:33.500
As they exchanged phone numbers, it felt as though they
138
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:45.039
had met each other at the right moment. Med sneen,
139
00:11:45.659 --> 00:11:49.740
der fortsatte med at danse omkring dem, vendte de tilbage
140
00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:53.279
til deres respektive liv, nu med en ny forståelse og
141
00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:56.700
en spirende relation, der kunne ændre alt.
142
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.600
With the snow continuing to dance around them, they returned
143
00:12:01.620 --> 00:12:05.299
to their respective lives, now with a new understanding and
144
00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:07.759
a budding relationship that could change everything.
145
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:12.279
I stedet for at gå derfra som to fremmede, gik
146
00:12:12.299 --> 00:12:16.419
de vær for sig. Men med nyfundet forbindelse og løftet om,
147
00:12:17.259 --> 00:12:20.500
at de ikke længere behøvede at møde udfordringer alene.
148
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.799
Instead of leaving as two strangers, they went their separate ways,
149
00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:28.850
but with a newfound connection and the promise that they
150
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.909
no longer had to face challenges alone.
151
00:12:32.149 --> 00:12:36.549
Freya had found a friend, and Magnus had found a
152
00:12:36.590 --> 00:12:37.669
faithful ally.
153
00:12:39.590 --> 00:12:42.269
Freya had found a friend, and Magnus had found a
154
00:12:42.330 --> 00:12:43.070
faithful ally.
155
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:49.350
I julens ånd started noget smukt, et bånd som Tivoli's
156
00:12:49.389 --> 00:12:51.789
magiske skær kun kunne framheve.
157
00:12:53.769 --> 00:12:57.330
In the spirit of Christmas, something beautiful began, a bond
158
00:12:57.370 --> 00:12:59.710
that Tivoli's magical glow could only highlight.
159
00:13:06.049 --> 00:13:10.090
Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
160
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.049
Here are today's vocabulary words, first in Danish, then in English.
