Story Transcript:

Da: Det var en strålende forårsdag i København.
En: It was a brilliant spring day in København.

Da: Solen skinnede over Tivoli, og blomsterne dansede i den lette brise.
En: The sun was shining over Tivoli, and the flowers danced in the light breeze.

Da: For Freja, Lars og resten af deres klasse var det en dag fyldt med forventninger.
En: For Freja, Lars, and the rest of their class, it was a day full of expectations.

Da: De var på ekskursion, og glade stemmer fyldte luften.
En: They were on a field trip, and happy voices filled the air.

Da: Freja så eventyr alle steder, især omkring den gamle karrusel, som der gik rygter om at være hjemsøgt.
En: Freja saw adventures everywhere, especially around the old carousel, which was rumored to be haunted.

Da: "Det er sikkert noget sludder," sagde Lars, da Freja igen nævnte karrusellen.
En: "It's probably just nonsense," said Lars, when Freja mentioned the carousel again.

Da: Men Frejas nysgerrighed var vakt, og hun kunne ikke lade chancen for at opklare mysteriet gå sin næse forbi.
En: But Freja's curiosity was piqued, and she couldn’t let the chance to solve the mystery pass her by.

Da: Deres lærere havde dog tydeligt advaret dem om at holde sig væk på grund af sikkerhedsproblemer.
En: Their teachers had clearly warned them to stay away because of safety concerns.

Da: Under frokostpausen så Freja sit snit.
En: During the lunch break, Freja seized her chance.

Da: "Lars," sagde hun ivrigt.
En: "Lars," she said eagerly.

Da: "Lad os udforske karrusellen.
En: "Let's explore the carousel.

Da: Ingen vil bemærke det."
En: No one will notice."

Da: Lars tøvede et øjeblik.
En: Lars hesitated for a moment.

Da: Han vidste, at de kunne komme i alvorlige problemer, men Frejas entusiasme var smitsom.
En: He knew they could get into serious trouble, but Freja's enthusiasm was contagious.

Da: "Okay," nikkede han til sidst, "men hvis noget går galt, fortæller vi det med det samme."
En: "Okay," he finally nodded, "but if something goes wrong, we'll tell them immediately."

Da: De listede sig hen til karrusellen, der stod stille og tavs midt i haven.
En: They snuck over to the carousel, which stood still and silent in the middle of the garden.

Da: Freja tog forsigtigt fat i banen og trak den op.
En: Freja carefully grabbed the panel and pulled it up.

Da: Indeni fandt de en gammel skitsebog.
En: Inside, they found an old sketchbook.

Da: Freja kiggede igennem de gulnede sider og fandt tegninger af karrusellen.
En: Freja looked through the yellowed pages and found drawings of the carousel.

Da: "Mikkel," udbrød Lars og pegede på en underskrift.
En: "Mikkel," exclaimed Lars, pointing to a signature.

Da: Mikkel havde holdt sig lidt for sig selv, men nu forstod de, hvorfor hans øjne altid syntes at betragte karrusellen.
En: Mikkel had kept to himself a bit, but now they understood why his eyes always seemed to study the carousel.

Da: Hans bedstefar havde designet den.
En: His grandfather had designed it.

Da: Som om hun havde kaldt på ham, dukkede Mikkel op bag dem.
En: As if she had summoned him, Mikkel appeared behind them.

Da: "Jeg ville have fortalt jer det," sagde han stille, "men jeg troede, det var hemmeligt."
En: "I would have told you," he said quietly, "but I...
