En solrig eftermiddag i København.

A sunny afternoon in Copenhagen.

Lars og Sofie, to gode venner, gik langs den travle Strøget.

Lars and Sofie, two good friends, were walking along the busy Strøget.

Folk var overalt, og duften af hotdogs hang i luften.

People were everywhere, and the smell of hotdogs filled the air.

Placeringen var en vigtig del af historien.

The location was an important part of the story.

Det var midt i Strøget, ved den mest kendte hotdog-pølsevogn.

It was right in the middle of Strøget, by the most famous hotdog stand.

Lars var sulten.

Lars was hungry.

Han pegede på en hotdog-pølsevogn og sagde til Sofie, "Jeg vil lige have en hurtig bid herfra.

He pointed at a hotdog stand and said to Sofie, "I just want to grab a quick bite from here."

"Så gik Lars til pølsevognen og sagde uden at tænke, "En hotdog med det hele, tak.

So Lars went to the stand and said without thinking, "A hotdog with everything, please."

" Det var en normal dag for hotdog-manden.

It was a regular day for the hotdog man.

Han lavede hurtigt Lars' hotdog med alle de sædvanlige ting: ketchup, sennep, remoulade, rå og ristede løg, og pickles.

He quickly made Lars' hotdog with all the usual toppings: ketchup, mustard, remoulade, raw and fried onions, and pickles.

For Lars var pickles som hans værste fjende.

For Lars, pickles were like his worst enemy.

Men Lars bemærkede ikke de grønne skiver blandt de mange ingredienser.

But Lars didn't notice the green slices among the many ingredients.

Da hotdog-manden gav Lars sin hotdog, sagde han stolt: "Her er en ægte dansk hotdog, min ven!

When the hotdog man handed Lars his hotdog, he proudly said, "Here is an authentic Danish hotdog, my friend!"

"Lars takkede ham og vendte tilbage til Sofie.

Lars thanked him and returned to Sofie.

Da de begyndte at spise, tog Lars en stor bid af sin hotdog.

As they started eating, Lars took a big bite of his hotdog.

Så snart han smagte pickles, frøs han.

As soon as he tasted the pickles, he froze.

Han kiggede diskret på hotdog-manden, da han ikke ville miste sin værdighed.

He discretely glanced at the hotdog man, not wanting to lose his dignity.

Han kunne ikke lide pickles, og nu stod han med en hel hotdog fyldt med dem.

He didn't like pickles, and now he was stuck with a whole hotdog filled with them.

Han vidste ikke, hvad han skulle gøre.

He didn't know what to do.

Han kunne ikke lide tanken om at fornærme hotdog-manden.

He didn't like the idea of offending the hotdog man.

Så han begyndte at spise den diskret, fuld af ubehag.

So he started eating it discreetly, filled with discomfort.

Sofie bemærkede hans ansigtsudtryk og grinede.

Sofie noticed his expression and laughed.

"Hvad er der galt, Lars?

"What's wrong, Lars?"

", Spurgte hun.

she asked.

"Intet," svarede Lars og prøvede at smile.

"Nothing," Lars replied, trying to smile.

Han fortsatte med at spise sin hotdog, selvom han virkelig ikke nød den.

He continued eating his hotdog, even though he really didn't enjoy it.

Til sidst var det overstået.

Finally, it was over.

Lars havde spist sin hotdog, selvom han nød det mindre end at gå til tandlægen.

Lars had eaten his hotdog, even though he enjoyed it less than going to the dentist.

Men han følte en form for stolthed.

But he felt a sense of pride.

Han havde klaret en vanskelig situation uden at fornærme nogen.

He had handled a difficult situation without offending anyone.

Som solen begyndte at gå ned, fortsatte Lars og Sofie deres tur, og Lars lovede at være mere omhyggelig næste gang han bestilte en hotdog.

As the sun started to set, Lars and Sofie continued their stroll, and Lars promised to be more careful the next time he ordered a hotdog.

Og sådan sluttede en normal dag i livet for Lars og Sofie i hjertet af København.

And so ended a regular day in the lives of Lars and Sofie in the heart of Copenhagen.

Men selv om det ikke var eventyrligt, var det en vigtig dag for Lars.

But even though it wasn't adventurous, it was an important day for Lars.

Han lærte, at det er bedre at fortælle sandheden, selvom det kan være lidt ubehageligt.

He learned that it's better to tell the truth, even if it can be a bit uncomfortable.

Og alt dette på grund af en simpel hotdog.

And all because of a simple hotdog.
