Kronborg Slot stod majestætisk ved kysten, pakket ind i et tæppe af sne.

Kronborg Slot stood majestically by the coast, wrapped in a blanket of snow.

Vinteren var barsk, og vinden blæste kold mod de tykke mure.

Winter was harsh, and the wind blew cold against the thick walls.

Indenfor arbejdede Freja, Johan og Kasper på at renovere slottet.

Inside, Freja, Johan, and Kasper were working on renovating the castle.

Freja, en ambitiøs arkitekt, havde en klar drøm: at færdiggøre renoveringen inden jul, så slottet kunne skinne i al sin pragt under de festlige dage.

Freja, an ambitious architect, had a clear dream: to complete the renovation before Christmas so the castle could shine in all its glory during the festive days.

Freja stod med blåtegningerne i hånden.

Freja stood with the blueprints in her hand.

"Vi har travlt," sagde hun bestemt.

"We are busy," she said decisively.

Hendes stemme ekkoede i de store haller.

Her voice echoed in the large halls.

"Men vi skal gøre det rigtigt, vi må ikke gå på kompromis med slotsets historie."

"But we must do it right; we must not compromise on the castle's history."

Johan, en dygtig håndværker, nikkede.

Johan, a skilled craftsman, nodded.

Han havde arbejdet på mange gamle bygninger før.

He had worked on many old buildings before.

"Det er koldt," svarede han, mens han studerede de gamle stenvægge.

"It's cold," he replied, while studying the old stone walls.

"Vinteren gør det svært med cement og maling."

"Winter makes it difficult with cement and paint."

Kasper, den unge lærling, lyttede opmærksomt.

Kasper, the young apprentice, listened attentively.

Han var fuld af beundring overfor Johan og ønskede at vise sig værdig.

He was full of admiration for Johan and wanted to prove himself worthy.

"Jeg kan hjælpe med at skrabe sneen væk!"

"I can help scrape away the snow!"

sagde han ivrigt.

he said eagerly.

Dagene gik, og vintervejret blev værre.

The days passed, and the winter weather worsened.

Sneen faldt tungt, og vindene blæste hårdt.

Snow fell heavily, and the winds blew hard.

Freja begyndte at føle presset.

Freja began to feel the pressure.

Hun vidste, at de skulle arbejde hurtigt, men Johan mindede hende konstant om, hvor vigtigt det var at gøre tingene ordentligt.

She knew they had to work quickly, but Johan constantly reminded her how important it was to do things properly.

"Vi kan ikke skynde os," sagde han en dag med en alvorlig stemme.

"We can't rush," he said one day with a serious voice.

Juleaften nærmede sig.

Christmas Eve drew near.

En nat ramte en voldsom snestorm.

One night, a violent snowstorm hit.

Freja kiggede ud af vinduet og så sneflagerne hvirvle voldsomt omkring slottets tårne.

Freja looked out the window and saw the snowflakes swirling violently around the castle towers.

Det gik op for hende, hvor farligt det ville være at fortsætte arbejdet under disse forhold.

She realized how dangerous it would be to continue working under these conditions.

"Vi kan ikke fortsætte.

"We can't continue.

Det er for risikabelt," sagde hun til sine kollegaer.

It's too risky," she told her colleagues.

Hun tog en dyb indånding og traf beslutningen.

She took a deep breath and made the decision.

"Vi ændrer tidsplanen," erklærede hun.

"We are changing the schedule," she declared.

"Det vigtigste er at beskytte slottet, ikke færdiggøre det hurtigt."

"The most important thing is to protect the castle, not to finish it quickly."

Johan smilede lettet.

Johan smiled with relief.

"God beslutning, Freja.

"Good decision, Freja.

Det er sådan, vi respekterer historien."

That's how we respect history."

Julen kom, og holdet samlede sig til en lille fest på slottet.

Christmas came, and the team gathered for a small celebration at the castle.

De satte lys i vinduerne og pyntede med gran.

They put lights in the windows and decorated with fir branches.

De fejrede den gode beslutning og alt det arbejde, de allerede havde udført.

They celebrated the good decision and all the work they had already accomplished.

Slotten var måske ikke fuldt renoveret, men det strålede alligevel med en særlig skønhed.

The castle might not be fully renovated, but it still shone with a special beauty.

Freja indså, at fleksibilitet og samarbejde var lige så vigtigt som ambition.

Freja realized that flexibility and collaboration were just as important as ambition.

Hun var taknemmelig for sit teams tålmodighed og støtte.

She was grateful for her team's patience and support.

Mens sneen lagde sig blødt på tårnene udenfor, følte hele holdet sig tilfredse med deres valg.

As the snow settled softly on the towers outside, the whole team felt satisfied with their choice.

Kronborg Slot ville stå stærkt gennem vinteren og ind i den nye sæson.

Kronborg Slot would stand strong through the winter and into the new season.
