Blandt dem var Mathias, Freja og Søren.

Mathias var optaget af sin biologiopgave.

Hans passion for naturvidenskab var stor, men tankerne om fremtiden gav ham en knude i maven.

Freja havde travlt med planlægningen af skoleårstidens store efterårsfestival.

Søren, der forbipasserede, så ikke nødderne, men han vidste, at en del af maden kunne være farlig for ham.

Søren, who passed by, didn't see the nuts, but he knew that some of the food could be dangerous for him.

Han sagde dog ingenting.

However, he said nothing.

Han ønskede bare at passe ind uden at være til besvær.

He just wanted to fit in without being a bother.

Mathias, som ofte læste detaljer om forskellige planter og ingredienser, bemærkede listen, mens han hjalp Freja med nogle dekorationer.

Han kendte til Søren og havde ved et tilfælde set hans medicinske advarselsarmbånd.

He knew about Søren and had accidentally seen his medical alert bracelet.

Mathias stod over for et valg.

Mathias faced a choice.

Skulle han fortælle Freja om risikoen?

Eller skulle han lade det være for ikke at gøre Søren flov?

Frejas arrangement var en succes.

Midt i al virvaret så Mathias, hvordan Søren ved et uheld tog en kiks med nødder.

In the midst of all the bustle, Mathias saw how Søren accidentally took a cookie with nuts.

Før nogen kunne nå at reagere, begyndte Søren at få det svært.

Before anyone could react, Søren began to struggle.

Mathias handlede hurtigt.
