Erik och Sofia satt vid Strömkajen mitt i Stockholm.

Erik and Sofia sat at Strömkajen in the middle of Stockholm.

De såg de stora båtarna gå.

They watched the big boats pass by.

De talade.

They talked.

De skrattade.

They laughed.

Erik fick en idé.

Erik had an idea.

Han ville visa Sofia sina skridskofärdigheter.

He wanted to show Sofia his ice skating skills.

Erik satte på sig sina skridskor.

Erik put on his skates.

Han gick ut på isen.

He went out onto the ice.

Han vågade sig långt ut.

He ventured far out.

Sofia stod och tittade.

Sofia stood and watched.

Erik gjorde stora svängar.

Erik made big turns.

Han hoppade.

He jumped.

Han snurrade.

He spun.

Allt gick bra.

Everything was going well.

Men då hände det.

But then it happened.

Erik snubblade.

Erik stumbled.

Med ett stort plums föll han i vattnet.

With a big splash, he fell into the water.

Platsen var Djurgårdsbrunnskanalen.

The place was Djurgårdsbrunnskanalen.

Isen hade varit mjuk där.

The ice had been soft there.

Erik hade inte sett det.

Erik hadn't seen it.

Nu var han i vattnet.

Now he was in the water.

Han blev blöt.

He got wet.

Han blev kall.

He got cold.

Sofia kunde inte hjälpa det.

Sofia couldn't help it.

Hon brast ut i skratt.

She burst out laughing.

Hon skrattade så hon grät.

She laughed so hard she cried.

Hon fortsatte skratta även när Erik kravlade sig upp ur vattnet.

She continued to laugh even when Erik crawled out of the water.

Han stod och huttrade.

He stood shivering.

Sofia öppnade sin väska.

Sofia opened her bag.

Hon letade fram en stor handduk.

She found a big towel.

Erik torkade sig med den.

Erik dried himself with it.

Han var fortfarande våt.

He was still wet.

Men han var inte lika kall nu.

But he wasn't as cold now.

Sofia stoppade inte att skratta.

Sofia didn't stop laughing.

Erik skakade på huvudet.

Erik shook his head.

Han kunde inte bli arg.

He couldn't get angry.

Han hade velat imponera.

He wanted to impress.

Han hade velat visa upp sig.

He wanted to show off.

Istället hade han hamnat i vattnet.

Instead, he ended up in the water.

Han kunde inte annat än att skratta med.

All he could do was laugh along.

De hade gott om tid.

They had plenty of time.

De var i Stockholm.

They were in Stockholm.

Det var mycket att se.

There was a lot to see.

Men för nu, var isen nog bäst att undvika.

But for now, it was best to avoid the ice.

Medan de gick tillbaka till staden, log Sofia.

As they walked back to the city, Sofia smiled.

Erik såg på henne.

Erik looked at her.

Han skrattade till.

He laughed again.

Han hade sjunkit i vattnet.

He had sunk in the water.

Men Sofia hade skrattat.

But Sofia had laughed.

Dagen hade inte gått som han tänkt.

The day hadn't gone as he had planned.

Men det var okej.

But that was okay.

Det var mer än okej.

It was more than okay.

Han hade fått Sofia att skratta.

He had made Sofia laugh.

Han hade kunnat bjuda på sig själv.

He had been able to make fun of himself.

Trots allt, hade det varit en bra dag.

After all, it had been a good day.

Stockholm hade varit vacker.

Stockholm had been beautiful.

Sofia hade skrattat.

Sofia had laughed.

Det var en bra dag, trots allt.

It was a good day, after all.

Många fler skulle komma.

Many more would come.

Han visste det.

He knew it.

Sofia visste det.

Sofia knew it.

Stockholm visste det.

Stockholm knew it.

De skulle ha många fler dagar.

They would have many more days.

Många fler skratt.

Many more laughs.

Många fler minnen.

Many more memories.

Det var bara början.

This was just the beginning.
