Niels gik gennem terminalen i Københavns Lufthavn.

Niels walked through the terminal at Københavns Lufthavn.

Han kiggede på de store vinduer, hvor snefnuggene faldt tæt udenfor.

He looked at the large windows where snowflakes were falling heavily outside.

En højttaler besked lød: "Alle flyvninger er aflyst på grund af sne."

A speaker announcement sounded: "All flights are canceled due to snow."

Niels sukkede.

Niels sighed.

Han havde glædet sig til at komme hjem.

He had been looking forward to going home.

På det kolde lufthavnsgulv stod Kirsten, en flyværtinde, med sin digre jakke.

On the cold airport floor stood Kirsten, a flight attendant, with her heavy jacket.

Hun havde været på arbejde tålmodigt i flere timer.

She had been working patiently for several hours.

Da hun så Niels' frustrerede ansigt, gik hun hen til ham.

When she saw Niels' frustrated face, she walked over to him.

"Er du okay?"

"Are you okay?"

spurgte hun med et varmt smil.

she asked with a warm smile.

"Nej, ikke rigtigt," svarede Niels.

"No, not really," replied Niels.

"Jeg har brug for at komme hjem."

"I need to get home."

I det samme stødte Astrid til dem.

At that moment, Astrid joined them.

Hun var vant til rejsekaos og uprøvede oplevelser.

She was used to travel chaos and untested experiences.

"Måske kan vi bruge tiden på noget produktivt?"

"Maybe we can use the time for something productive?"

foreslog hun livligt.

she suggested cheerfully.

Niels gjorde en pause.

Niels paused.

"Hvordan mener du?"

"What do you mean?"

Astrid pegede på en lille café i lufthavnens hjørne.

Astrid pointed to a small café in the corner of the airport.

"Vi kan dele historier og måske finde noget inspiration?"

"We can share stories and maybe find some inspiration?"

De satte sig tæt ved et vindue, hvor de kunne se snestormen rase udenfor.

They sat close to a window, where they could see the snowstorm raging outside.

Astrid åbnede sin notesbog og begyndte at fortælle om sine rejser til eksotiske steder.

Astrid opened her notebook and began to tell about her travels to exotic places.

Kirsten delte minder fra sine mange flyvninger, og Niels fortalte om sine forretningsprojekter.

Kirsten shared memories from her many flights, and Niels talked about his business projects.

Tiden gik hurtigt.

Time passed quickly.

Snart opdagede Niels noget.

Soon Niels realized something.

Disse mennesker, han lige havde mødt, havde givet ham en uventet gave – selskab og latter i ventetidens stilhed.

These people he had just met had given him an unexpected gift – companionship and laughter in the silence of waiting.

Da aftenen nærmede sig, begyndte sneen udenfor at lette.

As evening approached, the snow outside began to ease.

Flyvninger blev atter annonceret.

Flights were announced once again.

Niels rejste sig, men nu med et mildere udtryk.

Niels stood up, but now with a gentler expression.

"Tak," sagde han til Kirsten og Astrid.

"Thank you," he said to Kirsten and Astrid.

"Jeg har lært noget i dag."

"I've learned something today."

Kirsten nikkede.

Kirsten nodded.

"Nogle gange er det okay at stoppe op og værdsætte, hvad man har."

"Sometimes it's okay to stop and appreciate what you have."

Niels trådte ombord på sin flyvning.

Niels boarded his flight.

Han vidste, at denne forsinkelse havde givet ham noget uventet – nye venskaber og en dybere indsigt.

He knew that this delay had given him something unexpected – new friendships and a deeper insight.

At uanset hvor travl hans verden var, kunne succes også måles i menneskelig forbindelse.

That no matter how busy his world was, success could also be measured in human connection.

Da flyet lettede, kunne Niels endelig smile.

As the plane took off, Niels could finally smile.

Han tog en dyb vejrtrækning og så ud over den sneklædte by nedenfor, glad for det uvante eventyr, han ikke vidste, han havde brug for.

He took a deep breath and looked out over the snow-covered city below, grateful for the unfamiliar adventure he didn't know he needed.
