Lars stod på kajen og kiggede mod Den Lille Havfrue.

Lars stood on the dock and looked towards The Little Mermaid.

Han ville tage et billede, men det var for langt væk.

He wanted to take a picture, but it was too far away.

Han besluttede sig for at tage en svømmetur og komme tættere på statuen.

He decided to go for a swim and get closer to the statue.

Lars hoppede i vandet og begyndte at svømme.

Lars jumped into the water and started swimming.

Men pludselig fik han et krampeanfald og kunne ikke svømme mere.

But suddenly he had a seizure and could no longer swim.

Han forsøgte at råbe om hjælp, men ingen hørte ham.

He tried to shout for help, but no one heard him.

Lars tænkte, at det var slut.

Lars thought it was over.

Men så kom der en båd forbi og så ham.

But then a boat came by and saw him.

Besætningen fik Lars op på båden og sejlede ham til kajen.

The crew got Lars onto the boat and sailed him to the dock.

Lars var våd og bange, men takkede besætningen for at redde hans liv.

Lars was wet and scared, but thanked the crew for saving his life.

Nu vil han aldrig igen tage chancer og svømme alene i havnen.

Now he will never again take chances and swim alone in the harbor.
