Story Transcript:

Sv: Under den grå molniga himlen i Grekland samlades Elin, Johan och Sofia med sin klass kring de gamla ruinerna.
En: Under the gray cloudy sky in Grekland, Elin, Johan, and Sofia gathered with their class around the ancient ruins.

Sv: Stenarna var täckta av mossa och de fallna kolonnerna berättade om en svunnen tid.
En: The stones were covered in moss, and the fallen columns spoke of a bygone time.

Sv: Luften var krispig och det kändes som att våren var på väg.
En: The air was crisp, and it felt as though spring was on its way.

Sv: Elins ögon lyste av nyfikenhet.
En: Elin's eyes shone with curiosity.

Sv: Hon drömde om att bli arkeolog.
En: She dreamed of becoming an archaeologist.

Sv: Hennes mål för dagen var att hitta något unikt, något som skulle imponera på hennes lärare och klasskamrater.
En: Her goal for the day was to find something unique, something that would impress her teacher and classmates.

Sv: Men det fanns ett problem: hon måste stanna med gruppen.
En: But there was a problem: she had to stay with the group.

Sv: "Nå, Elin," sa Johan, "vi får inte gå för långt.
En: "Well, Elin," said Johan, "we mustn't go too far.

Sv: Lärarna har sagt till oss att hålla ihop."
En: The teachers have told us to stick together."

Sv: Sofia nickade instämmande men Elin hade redan något annat i tankarna.
En: Sofia nodded in agreement, but Elin already had something else in mind.

Sv: Hon kunde inte motstå frestelsen att upptäcka det okända.
En: She couldn't resist the temptation to discover the unknown.

Sv: När klassen beundrade en stor staty, smög Elin iväg.
En: As the class admired a large statue, Elin sneaked away.

Sv: Hon gick tyst längs stigens kant, in i en mindre undersökt del av ruinerna.
En: She walked quietly along the edge of the path, into a less explored part of the ruins.

Sv: Hennes hjärta bultade av spänning, och varje steg blev ett äventyr.
En: Her heart pounded with excitement, and every step became an adventure.

Sv: Plötsligt, under en hög med stenar, såg hon något som glimmade till.
En: Suddenly, under a pile of stones, she saw something glimmer.

Sv: Det var en liten, vackert dekorerad vas.
En: It was a small, beautifully decorated vase.

Sv: Elin kände att hon hade funnit något speciellt.
En: Elin felt she had found something special.

Sv: Men när hon såg upp, insåg hon att hon hade gått vilse.
En: But when she looked up, she realized she had gotten lost.

Sv: Ruinerna hade många vägskäl och hon kunde inte se eller höra sin klass längre.
En: The ruins had many crossroads, and she could no longer see or hear her class.

Sv: Hon kände panik närma sig, men hon försökte att hålla sig lugn.
En: She felt panic approaching, but she tried to stay calm.

Sv: Efter en stund hörde hon Sofias röst.
En: After a while, she heard Sofia's voice.

Sv: "Elin!
En: "Elin!

Sv: Var är du?"
En: Where are you?"

Sv: Elin ropade tillbaka, och snart kom Johan och Sofia springande mot henne.
En: Elin shouted back, and soon Johan and Sofia came running toward her.

Sv: Deras ansikten lyste av lättnad när de fann henne säker.
En: Their faces lit up with relief when they found her safe.

Sv: "Vad har du där?"
En: "What do you have there?"

Sv: frågade Johan och pekade på...
