På en solrig dag i København, gik Lars en tur. Han var lidt nervøs. Om aftenen skulle han til middag hos Sofie. Nikolaj, hans gode ven, skulle også være der. Det skulle være en fin og formel middag. Lars havde aldrig været til sådan en middag før.

On a sunny day in Copenhagen, Lars went for a walk. He was a little nervous. In the evening, he was going to have dinner at Sofie's. Nikolaj, his good friend, would also be there. It was going to be a fancy and formal dinner. Lars had never been to such a dinner before.

Lars tog hjem for at gøre sig klar. Han fandt en mørk jakkesæt frem. Han fandt også et par flotte sko. Men han var i tvivl. Hvilke sokker skulle han tage på? Han kiggede i sin sokkeskuffe. Der var mange forskellige sokker. Nogle var farverige eller med sjove mønstre. Andre var helt sorte.

Lars went home to get ready. He pulled out a dark suit. He also found a pair of nice shoes. But he was unsure. Which socks should he wear? He looked in his sock drawer. There were many different socks. Some were colorful or had funny patterns. Others were completely black.

Han valgte et par sokker med rumskibe. Sokkerne var nye. Lars tænkte ikke over, om de var passende. Han skulle bare have varme fødder.

He chose a pair of socks with spaceships. The socks were new. Lars didn't think about whether they were appropriate. He just wanted warm feet.

Klædt på, tænkte Lars ikke mere over sokkerne. Han var mere nervøs for middagen. Han tog en taxi til Sofie. Hun boede i et flot hus på Frederiksberg. Alle gæsterne skulle være der kl. 19.

Dressed up, Lars didn't think about the socks anymore. He was more nervous about the dinner. He took a taxi to Sofie's. She lived in a beautiful house in Frederiksberg. All the guests were supposed to be there at 7 pm.

Nikolaj var der allerede. Han grinede, da han så Lars. "Hvad sker der for dine sokker, Lars?" spurgte han og pegede på Lars' rumskibssokker. Lars rødmede. Han havde glemt alt om sokkerne.

Nikolaj was already there. He laughed when he saw Lars. "What's up with your socks, Lars?" he asked, pointing at Lars' spaceship socks. Lars blushed. He had forgotten all about the socks.

Sofie hørte Nikolajs kommentar. Hun gik hen til Lars. "Jeg synes, dine sokker er seje," sagde hun og smilede. Lars var letet. Han havde været bange for at lave en fejl.

Sofie heard Nikolaj's comment. She walked over to Lars. "I think your socks are cool," she said with a smile. Lars felt relieved. He had been afraid of making a mistake.

Middagen blev en succes. Lars havde det sjovt, selvom han havde haft de "forkerte" sokker på. Og Sofie inviterede ham igen.

The dinner was a success. Lars had fun, even though he had worn the "wrong" socks. And Sofie invited him again.

Den nat lærte Lars noget vigtigt. Det er okay at være anderledes. Selv med rumskibssokker til en formel middag.

That night, Lars learned something important. It's okay to be different. Even with spaceship socks at a formal dinner.
