Det var en smuk sommereftermiddag, og Lars var klar til sin store fødselsdagsfest.

It was a beautiful summer afternoon, and Lars was ready for his big birthday party.

Han havde inviteret alle sine venner og familie, herunder hans bedste venner Peter og Anna.

He had invited all his friends and family, including his best friends Peter and Anna.

Festen var i haven, og der var pyntet med farverige balloner og blafrende flag.

The party was in the garden and was decorated with colorful balloons and fluttering flags.

Alle var samlet om det store bord, og Lars havde lige modtaget sin kage, pyntet med 10 store lys.

Everyone was gathered around the large table, and Lars had just received his cake, decorated with 10 large candles.

Han tog en dyb indånding og blæste hårdt på lysene, men Peter og Anna tændte dem straks igen.

He took a deep breath and blew hard on the candles, but Peter and Anna immediately lit them again.

Lars grinte og prøvede igen og igen at blæse dem ud, men uden held.

Lars laughed and tried again and again to blow them out, but without success.

Gæsterne hyggede sig med kage og drikkevarer, mens Lars blev mere og mere frustreret over sin mislykkede forsøg på at slukke lysene.

The guests enjoyed themselves with cake and drinks, while Lars became more and more frustrated with his failed attempt to turn off the lights.

Han opgav til sidst og tog en bid af kagen, mens Peter og Anna grinede af ham.

He finally gave up and took a bite of the cake as Peter and Anna laughed at him.

Men så havde Lars en idé.

But then Lars had an idea.

Han spurgte om hjælp fra alle gæsterne.

He asked for help from all the guests.

Han bad dem om at tælle ned til tre og så blæse hårdt på lysene sammen med ham.

He asked them to count to three and then blow hard on the candles with him.

Gæsterne så lidt skeptiske ud, men Lars overbeviste dem om at prøve det.

The guests looked a little skeptical, but Lars convinced them to try it.

Da gæsterne talte ned, blæste Lars og alle gæsterne hårdt på lysene.

When the guests counted down, Lars and all the guests blew hard on the candles.

Og denne gang var det en succes!

And this time it was a success!

Alle lysene slukkede med det samme, og gæsterne brød ud i jubel og applaus.

All the lights went out at once and the guests burst into cheers and applause.

Lars var lettet og lykkelig over at have slukket lysene på sin kage.

Lars was relieved and happy to have turned off the lights on his cake.

Han takkede alle gæsterne for deres hjælp og åndede lettet ud.

He thanked all the guests for their help and breathed a sigh of relief.

Det var en fødselsdag, han aldrig ville glemme.

It was a birthday he would never forget.
