Lars gets an idea.

Han vil prøve at sige "rødgrød med fløde".

He wants to try saying "rødgrød med fløde".

Det er svært.

It's difficult.

Han øver sig.

He practices.

Igen og igen siger han det.

Again and again, he says it.

Men hver gang siger han det forkert.

But every time, he says it wrong.

En dag er Anna på besøg hos Lars.

One day, Anna is visiting Lars.

De drikker kaffe.

They drink coffee.

De snakker om mange ting.

They talk about many things.

Så prøver Lars at sige "rødgrød med fløde".

Then Lars tries to say "rødgrød med fløde".

Anna griner.

Anna laughs.

Hun prøver at hjælpe Lars.

Han prøver igen.

He tries again.

Men igen fejler han.

But he fails again.

Lars bliver sur.

Lars gets angry.

Han vil gerne kunne sige det.

He wants to be able to say it.

Han vil gerne imponere Anna.

He wants to impress Anna.

Men han kan ikke.

But he can't.

Anna griner ikke mere.

Anna stops laughing.

Hun kigger på Lars.

She looks at Lars.

Hun siger, at det er okay.

She says it's okay.

At Lars ikke behøver at sige "rødgrød med fløde" for at imponere hende.

That Lars doesn't have to say "rødgrød med fløde" to impress her.

Hun synes, at Lars er sød, som han er.

She thinks Lars is sweet just the way he is.

Et par dage senere er de alle tre, Lars, Anna og Sofie ude at gå en tur.

A few days later, all three of them, Lars, Anna, and Sofie, are out for a walk.

De går langs med kanalerne i København.

They walk along the canals in Copenhagen.

Solen skinner.

The sun is shining.

Sofie griner.

Sofie laughs.

Hun siger, at Lars skal prøve at sige "rødgrød med fløde" igen.

She says Lars should try saying "rødgrød med fløde" again.

Anna kigger på Lars.

Anna looks at Lars.

Lars tager en dyb indånding.

Lars takes a deep breath.

Han prøver.

He tries.

"Rødgrød med fløde," siger han.

"Rødgrød med fløde," he says.

Det er stadig ikke helt rigtigt.

It's still not quite right.

Men denne gang griner Anna ikke.

But this time, Anna doesn't laugh.

Hun smiler.

She smiles.

Hun siger, at det var meget bedre.

She says it was much better.

Lars bliver glad.

Lars becomes happy.

Han har prøvet.

He tried.

Han har fejlet.

He failed.

Men han har også lært.

But he also learned.

Og han har vist Anna, at han kan prøve, selv når det er svært.

And he showed Anna that he can try, even when it's difficult.

Så de går videre.

So they keep going.

De går gennem København.

They walk through Copenhagen.

De griner.

They laugh.

De snakker.

They talk.

Lars føler sig glad.

Han føler sig stærk.

He feels strong.

Og han ved, at Anna synes, han er sød, uanset om han kan sige "rødgrød med fløde" eller ej.

And he knows that Anna thinks he is sweet, whether he can say "rødgrød med fløde" or not.

Historien ender hermed.

The story ends here.

Men for Lars, Anna og Sofie, fortsætter livet i København.

But for Lars, Anna, and Sofie, life continues in Copenhagen.

Og Lars vil fortsætte med at prøve at sige "rødgrød med fløde".

And Lars will continue to try saying "rødgrød med fløde".

Fordi han ved, at det er i orden at fejle.

Because he knows that it's okay to fail.

Og han ved, at det vigtigste ikke er at imponere andre, men at være sig selv.

And he knows that the most important thing is to be himself.

Og det er sådan livet er i København for Lars, Anna og Sofie.

And that's how life is in Copenhagen for Lars, Anna, and Sofie.

Med solskin, smil, venskab og "rødgrød med fløde".

With sunshine, smiles, friendship, and "rødgrød med fløde".
