Lars er en ung mand i København.

Lars is a young man in Copenhagen.

Han er vokset op i byen, men han kan stadig blive forvirret over de snørklede gader og de mange mennesker.

He grew up in the city but can still become confused by the winding streets and the many people.

I dag er han i Tivoli, et sted fuld af lys, lyd og leg, midt i byens hjerte.

Today he is in Tivoli, a place full of light, sound, and play, in the heart of the city.

Men Lars er faret vild.

But Lars has gotten lost.

Hans øjne skøjter over menneskemængden, leder efter noget genkendeligt, noget der kan hjælpe ham med at finde vej.

His eyes scan the crowd, searching for something familiar, something that can help him find his way.

Han ser et højt tårn i det fjerne.

He sees a tall tower in the distance.

"Det må være Tivolis tårn", tænker han, "hvis jeg går mod det, vil jeg finde vej.

"That must be Tivoli's tower," he thinks, "if I walk towards it, I will find my way."

"På hans vandring mod tårnet passerer han en gruppe glade børn.

On his journey towards the tower, he passes by a group of happy children.

De danser og synger og fejrer en fødselsdag.

They dance and sing, celebrating a birthday.

Lars er fortabt i deres festlighed, og før han ved af det, er han trukket ind i festen af en lille pige med store blå øjne.

Lars gets lost in their merriment, and before he knows it, he is drawn into the party by a little girl with big blue eyes.

"Du skal være med!

"You have to join in!"

" siger hun med anstand.

she says politely.

Og sådan ender Lars midt i en børnefødselsdag.

And that's how Lars ends up in the middle of a children's birthday party.

Han danser, synger og spiller spil.

He dances, sings, and plays games.

Han er tilpas fortabt og latterfyldt for at glemme, at han er vild.

He is delightfully lost and filled with laughter, forgetting that he is lost.

Lars bliver ved med at fejre, indtil solen begynder at gå ned.

Lars continues to celebrate until the sun begins to set.

Da han endelig forsøger at finde sin vej igen, er Tivoli forandret.

When he finally tries to find his way again, Tivoli has changed.

De glade festivallys er tændt, stierne er fyldt med mennesker, og tårnet er gemt i mørket.

The happy festival lights are on, the paths are filled with people, and the tower is hidden in darkness.

Han griber sin telefon for at bede om hjælp, men hans batteri er dødt.

He reaches for his phone to ask for help, but his battery is dead.

Han står alene midt i Tivoli efter mørkets frembrud.

He stands alone in the middle of Tivoli after dark.

Men til sin store overraskelse føler han sig ikke bange eller fortabt, han føler sig fri.

But to his surprise, he does not feel scared or lost; he feels free.

Næste dag finder han vejen ud af Tivoli og tilbage til det velkendte København.

The next day, he finds his way out of Tivoli and back to the familiar Copenhagen.

Han vender tilbage til sin dagligdag, men Tivoli og den børnefødselsdag han ved et uheld deltog i, vil altid være en særlig del af hans minder.

He returns to his daily life, but Tivoli and the children's birthday party he accidentally joined will always be a special part of his memories.

Den aften Lars farede vild, opdagede han en ny side af Tivoli og af København.

That evening when Lars got lost, he discovered a new side of Tivoli and of Copenhagen.

Han opdagede det ukendte, det uforudsigelige, det legende.

He discovered the unknown, the unpredictable, the playful.

Fra den dag tog Lars aldrig igen sin by for givet.

From that day on, Lars never took his city for granted again.

Han vidste nu, at der altid var noget nyt at opdage, noget nyt at opleve, hvis man bare turde fare vild.

He now knew that there was always something new to discover, something new to experience, if one dared to get lost.

Den historie skulle spredes.

This story needed to be shared.

Så i midten af sit chaotiske byliv, fortalte Lars sin historie, om den dag han farede vild til en børnefødselsdag i Tivoli, ikke som en fortælling om forvirring, men som en lektion i at omfavne det ukendte og lade det føre en på nye eventyr.

So in the midst of his chaotic city life, Lars told his story, of the day he got lost at a children's birthday party in Tivoli, not as a tale of confusion, but as a lesson in embracing the unknown and letting it lead you on new adventures.
