Emil haster gennem Københavns Lufthavn, hans kuffert på hjul rumler bag ham.

Emil rushes through Københavns Lufthavn, his wheeled suitcase rumbling behind him.

Det er efterår.

It's autumn.

Lufthavnens butikker er pyntet med græskar, heksehatte og edderkopper.

The airport's shops are decorated with pumpkins, witch hats, and spiders.

Emil har et vigtigt mål: at finde den perfekte gave til Laila.

Emil has an important goal: to find the perfect gift for Laila.

Laila elsker Halloween.

Laila loves Halloween.

Hun har nævnt flere gange, at hun ønsker sig noget særligt til deres fest.

She has mentioned several times that she wants something special for their party.

Emil, der ofte rejser, har næsten glemt at købe det.

Emil, who often travels, has almost forgotten to buy it.

Han ser på uret.

He looks at the clock.

Kun få minutter tilbage før boarding.

Only a few minutes left before boarding.

Han puster tungt ud.

He exhales heavily.

De fleste Halloween-varer er revet væk.

Most Halloween items have been snatched up.

Det føles som en nål i en høstak at finde noget unikt og personligt til Laila.

It feels like finding a needle in a haystack to discover something unique and personal for Laila.

Men Emil nægter at give op.

But Emil refuses to give up.

Magnus arbejder i en lille butik nær gate A6.

Magnus works in a small shop near gate A6.

Han bemærker hurtigt Emil, der ser desperat rundt.

He quickly notices Emil, who is looking around desperately.

"Hej, kan jeg hjælpe dig?"

"Hi, can I help you?"

spørger Magnus.

asks Magnus.

"Ja, tak," siger Emil.

"Yes, thank you," says Emil.

"Jeg leder efter en Halloween-gave til min kæreste.

"I'm looking for a Halloween gift for my girlfriend.

Har du nogle gode idéer?"

Do you have any good ideas?"

Magnus tænker et øjeblik.

Magnus thinks for a moment.

"Du burde se vores hjørne med håndlavede ting," siger han og peger mod en lille fjern hylde.

"You should check out our corner with handmade items," he says, pointing to a small distant shelf.

"Der skulle være noget specielt."

"There should be something special."

Emil følger Magnus' vejledning, og til sin overraskelse finder han en smukt dekoreret græskarlygte.

Emil follows Magnus's guidance, and to his surprise, he finds a beautifully decorated pumpkin lantern.

Den er perfekt.

It's perfect.

Men den lange kø ved kassen giver Emil hjertebanken.

But the long line at the checkout makes Emil's heart race.

Boarding er begyndt, og tiden rinder ud.

Boarding has started, and time is running out.

Emil kigger på køen og samler mod til sig.

Emil looks at the line and gathers his courage.

"Undskyld," begynder han, "jeg har virkelig brug for denne gave til min kæreste, og mit fly går snart.

"Excuse me," he begins, "I really need this gift for my girlfriend, and my flight is soon.

Kan jeg springe frem i køen?"

Can I skip ahead in the line?"

Flere i køen nikker forstående.

Several people in the line nod understandingly.

Nogle smiler endda.

Some even smile.

Med hurtigt tempo køber Emil lygten og skynder sig mod gaten.

With quick steps, Emil buys the lantern and hurries towards the gate.

Han når derhen med få sekunder til overs.

He gets there with a few seconds to spare.

Et lettet suk undslipper ham, da han sætter sig i flysædet.

A relieved sigh escapes him as he settles into the airplane seat.

Da flyet letter, indser Emil, hvor meget de små venlige handlinger kan betyde.

As the plane takes off, Emil realizes how much small acts of kindness can mean.

Han lærer, at planlægning kan spare meget stress i sidste ende.

He learns that planning can save a lot of stress in the end.

Og han ved, at Laila vil elske lygten.

And he knows that Laila will love the lantern.

Emil har haft heldet med sig denne gang, men han er fast besluttet på at være mere forberedt i fremtiden.

Emil has been lucky this time, but he is determined to be more prepared in the future.
