Det var en iskold vinteraften i Tivoli Gardens.

It was a freezing winter evening at Tivoli Gardens.

Julelysene blinkede overalt, og sneen knirkede under fødderne.

The Christmas lights were twinkling everywhere, and the snow crunched underfoot.

Søren og Astrid gik hånd i hånd gennem den travle menneskemængde.

Søren and Astrid walked hand in hand through the bustling crowd.

De skulle finde julegaver.

They were on a mission to find Christmas gifts.

Søren følte sig lidt fortabt.

Søren felt a little lost.

Tivoli var smuk med sine farverige lamper og glade julesange, men de mange mennesker og de utallige butikker gjorde Søren forvirret.

Tivoli was beautiful with its colorful lamps and cheerful Christmas songs, but the many people and the countless shops made Søren confused.

Han ønskede bare at finde den perfekte gave til sin søster.

He just wanted to find the perfect gift for his sister.

Det skulle være noget særligt.

It needed to be something special.

Noget hun ville værdsætte.

Something she would appreciate.

Astrid, der altid var fuld af energi, standsede op ved hver bod.

Astrid, who was always full of energy, stopped at each stall.

"Se, Søren, denne er perfekt til din søster!"

"Look, Søren, this one is perfect for your sister!"

sagde hun med et smil og pegede på et tørklæde, der glitrede som stjernerne.

she said with a smile, pointing at a scarf that sparkled like the stars.

Men Søren rystede bare på hovedet.

But Søren just shook his head.

"Jeg ved det ikke... det føles ikke rigtigt," svarede han.

"I don't know... it doesn’t feel right," he replied.

De fortsatte deres tur gennem haven, hvor duften af gløgg og brændte mandler fyldte luften.

They continued their walk through the garden, where the scent of mulled wine and roasted almonds filled the air.

Astrid spottede en bod med håndlavede julepynt.

Astrid spotted a stall with handmade Christmas decorations.

"Kom, Søren.

"Come on, Søren.

Lad os kigge her!"

Let's look here!"

Søren fulgte langsomt efter hende ind i boden.

Søren slowly followed her into the stall.

Indenfor fandt han en lille, håndlavet juleornament.

Inside, he found a small, handmade Christmas ornament.

Den var formet som en engel og mindede ham om en særlig dag fra hans barndom.

It was shaped like an angel and reminded him of a special day from his childhood.

En dag, hvor han og hans søster lavede sneengle i haven, mens deres forældre så til fra vinduet.

A day when he and his sister made snow angels in the garden while their parents watched from the window.

Hans hjerte bankede roligt for første gang den aften.

His heart beat calmly for the first time that evening.

Det føltes som det rigtige valg.

It felt like the right choice.

Astrid bemærkede det øjeblikkeligt.

Astrid noticed it immediately.

"Det er det, Søren.

"That's it, Søren.

Din søster vil elske det."

Your sister will love it."

Søren nikkede, og et lille smil bredte sig på hans ansigt.

Søren nodded, and a small smile spread across his face.

Han købte ornamentet og følte en bølge af lettelse.

He bought the ornament and felt a wave of relief.

På vej ud af Tivoli Gardens tog Søren Astrids hånd igen.

On the way out of Tivoli Gardens, Søren took Astrid's hand again.

Han havde lært noget vigtigt i aften.

He had learned something important that evening.

Han vidste nu, at han kunne stole på sin intuition og sine venner.

He now knew that he could trust his intuition and his friends.

Med Astrids hjælp havde han fundet den perfekte gave, og han følte sig mere sikker på sine beslutninger.

With Astrid's help, he had found the perfect gift, and he felt more confident in his decisions.

Under det klare, blinkende lys gik de videre ud i den kolde vinteraften, med hjerterne fyldt med julevarme.

Under the clear, twinkling lights, they continued out into the cold winter evening, with hearts filled with Christmas warmth.
