Markedet i København var fuld af liv.

The market in København was full of life.

Folk myldrede mellem boderne på de brostensbelagte gader.

People swarmed between the stalls on the cobblestone streets.

Lystige stemmer blandede sig med råbene fra handlende, der reklamerede for deres varer.

Cheerful voices mixed with the shouts from vendors advertising their goods.

Duften af friskbagt brød og salte bølger fra den nærliggende havn fyldte luften.

The scent of freshly baked bread and salty waves from the nearby harbor filled the air.

Astrid stod ved sin lille bod.

Astrid stood by her small stall.

Hun solgte sjældne krydderier.

She sold rare spices.

Hendes familie havde brug for penge, og hun måtte sælge alt, inden vinterstormen ramte.

Her family needed money, and she had to sell everything before the winter storm hit.

Ved hendes side gik Freja, hendes yngre søster.

By her side was Freja, her younger sister.

Frejas øjne glitrede af nysgerrighed, mens hun iagttog de mange farverige boder.

Freja's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she observed the many colorful stalls.

"Vi har brug for held," sagde Astrid blidt til Freja.

"We need luck," Astrid gently said to Freja.

"Vi mangler stadig at sælge meget."

"We still have a lot to sell."

Soren, byens venlige smed, kom forbi.

Soren, the town's friendly blacksmith, passed by.

Han smilede til Astrid.

He smiled at Astrid.

"Stormen nærmer sig.

"The storm is approaching.

I skal snart pakke sammen," sagde han.

You should pack up soon," he said.

"Jeg bliver lidt længere," svarede Astrid.

"I'll stay a little longer," replied Astrid.

"Jeg håber på en sidste kunde."

"I'm hoping for one last customer."

Vinden tog til.

The wind picked up.

Skyerne blev mørke, og folk forlod langsomt markedet.

The clouds grew dark, and people slowly left the market.

Astrid begyndte at miste håbet.

Astrid began to lose hope.

Men lige som hun skulle pakke sammen, dukkede en velklædt mand op.

But just as she was about to pack up, a well-dressed man appeared.

Han var rejst langvejs fra og manglede krydderier til en vigtig ret.

He had traveled from afar and needed spices for an important dish.

"Jeg har netop de krydderier, du søger," sagde Astrid med et forsigtigt håb.

"I have just the spices you're looking for," said Astrid with cautious hope.

Manden købte alt, hvad hun havde.

The man bought everything she had.

Astrid havde nu nok til at redde familiens forretning.

Astrid now had enough to save the family's business.

Hun takkede manden og greb Frejas hånd.

She thanked the man and took Freja's hand.

"Vi skal afsted nu," sagde Astrid og trak Freja med sig.

"We must go now," said Astrid, pulling Freja along with her.

Mens de løb gennem de iskolde gader, begyndte de første snefnug at falde.

As they ran through the icy streets, the first snowflakes began to fall.

Astrid smilede, hendes hjerte let som sneen omkring dem.

Astrid smiled, her heart light as the snow around them.

Hun havde klaret det.

She had made it.

Familien var reddet.

The family was saved.

Stormen ramte, men Astrids hjerte var varm af nyfundet styrke.

The storm hit, but Astrid's heart was warm with newfound strength.

Hun vidste nu, at modgang kunne overvindes med vilje og beslutsomhed.

She now knew that adversity could be overcome with will and determination.

Hun havde lært vigtigheden af at gribe mulighederne, når de viste sig.

She had learned the importance of seizing opportunities when they presented themselves.

Sammen med Freja skyndte hun sig hjemad, klar til at fortælle familien den gode nyhed.

Together with Freja, she hurried home, ready to tell the family the good news.

De farverige flag i markedet blafrede vildt i vinden, mens folket søgte ly fra stormen.

The colorful flags in the market flapped wildly in the wind as people sought shelter from the storm.

Astrid så frem mod en ny dag, fyldt med håb og tillid til fremtiden.

Astrid looked forward to a new day, filled with hope and confidence in the future.
