Solen skinnede lyst over Tivoli Gardens, og duften af sukkerspin svævede rundt i luften.
The sun shone brightly over Tivoli Gardens, and the scent of cotton candy wafted through the air.
Det var sommer, og den Internationale Klovnefestival var i fuld gang.
It was summer, and the International Clown Festival was in full swing.
Livlig musik spillede, mens børn løb omkring de farverige forlystelser, og voksne nippede til kolde drinks.
Lively music played as children ran around the colorful rides, and adults sipped on cold drinks.
Mikkel stod ved sin isbod.
Mikkel stood by his ice cream stand.
Han havde en stor drøm.
He had a big dream.
Han ville være den stjerneklovn, som alle husker.
He wanted to be the star clown that everyone remembers.
Hans klovnehat var gemt under disken.
His clown hat was hidden under the counter.
Han ventede kun på det rette øjeblik.
He was just waiting for the right moment.
Tivoli Gardens var hans scene, og publikum var hans bytte.
Tivoli Gardens was his stage, and the audience was his target.
Men midt i alt dette var der en hemmelighed.
But amidst all this, there was a secret.
Astrid, parken manageren, havde en svaghed for klovneforestillinger.
Astrid, the park manager, had a weakness for clown performances.
Hun slap dog aldrig tøjlerne, for hun havde et ansvar at passe.
However, she never let go of the reins, for she had responsibilities to handle.
Jens, den dygtige jonglør, frygtede sukkerstop som resultat af et barndomstraume.
Jens, the skilled juggler, feared cotton candy due to a childhood trauma.
Hvem skulle have troet det?
Who would have thought that?
Da festivalen var på sit højdepunkt, kom der en uventet drejning.
When the festival was at its peak, an unexpected twist occurred.
Klovnen, der skulle optræde, var blevet syg.
The clown who was supposed to perform had fallen ill.
Stemningen truede med at falde.
The atmosphere threatened to decline.
Pludselig kom en sukkerspindvogn rullende ukontrolleret hen ad hovedgaden.
Suddenly, a cotton candy cart rolled uncontrollably down the main street.
Børn skreg og voksne trådte til side.
Children screamed, and adults stepped aside.
Mikkel så sin chance.
Mikkel saw his chance.
Dette var hans øjeblik.
This was his moment.
Han greb en isvaffel og kastede sig i vejen for vognen.
He grabbed an ice cream cone and threw himself in the path of the cart.
Med et snuptag brugte han isvaflen som en bremse mod et af vognenes hjul.
With a swift move, he used the ice cream cone as a brake against one of the cart's wheels.
Vognen stoppede med en sød jamrende lyd, og sukkerspind dryssede let ned over hans hoved som konfetti.
The cart stopped with a sweet whining sound, and cotton candy sprinkled lightly over his head like confetti.
Befriet fra vognen, sprang Mikkel op.
Freed from the cart, Mikkel jumped up.
Han rev klovnehatten frem, placerede den stolt på hovedet og begyndte sin klovneoptræden.
He whipped out the clown hat, placed it proudly on his head, and began his clown performance.
Folk grinede, klappede og stampede taktfast.
People laughed, clapped, and stomped in rhythm.
Han snublede med vilje, snurrede rundt og lavede grinende grimasser.
He stumbled on purpose, spun around, and made funny faces.
Selv Astrid kunne ikke skjule sit smil.
Even Astrid couldn't hide her smile.
Efter forestillingen blev Mikkel mødt med bifald fra en jublende skare.
After the performance, Mikkel was met with applause from a cheering crowd.
Astrid takkede ham varmt og indrømmede sin kærlighed til klovne.
Astrid thanked him warmly and admitted her love for clowns.
Jens kom hen til Mikkel, og som en gestus rakte Mikkel ham en buket lavet af sukkerspind.
Jens came over to Mikkel, and as a gesture, Mikkel handed him a bouquet made of cotton candy.
Jens lo og tog i mod det uden tøven.
Jens laughed and accepted it without hesitation.
Mikkel havde fundet sin selvtillid.
Mikkel had found his confidence.
Hans drøm om at være festens midtpunkt blev en realitet.
His dream of being the center of the party became a reality.
Og mens Tivoli Gardens fortsatte i sin glade tumult, indså Jens, at han ikke længere var bange for sukkerspind.
And as Tivoli Gardens continued in its joyful tumult, Jens realized he was no longer afraid of cotton candy.
Aftenen i Tivoli endte med latter og lethed.
The evening in Tivoli ended with laughter and lightness.
Mikkel ønskede ikke andet end at gentage magien næste sommer.
Mikkel wanted nothing more than to repeat the magic next summer.
Indtil da havde han triumferet over både klovneroller og rullende vogne.
Until then, he had triumphed over both clown roles and rolling carts.
Eventyret i parken var slut for nu, men minderne ville leve længe.
The adventure in the park was over for now, but the memories would live on.
