Da: Lars er en ganske almindelig mand.
En: Lars is a rather ordinary man.

Da: Kedelig, ville nogen sige.
En: Some would say he's boring.

Da: Men det skulle snart ændre sig.
En: But that was about to change.

Da: Duften af popcorn og lyden af børns glade grin fyldte hans ører.
En: The smell of popcorn and the sound of children's laughter filled his ears.

En: He decided to sit down for a while.

Da: Han var træt.
En: He was tired.

Da: Tæt på ham var der en tom bænk.
En: Nearby, there was an empty bench.

Da: Han gik over til den, men så ikke, at det ikke var en bænk.
En: He walked over to it, but didn't realize that it wasn't a bench.

Da: Det var en rutsjebane.
En: It was a slide.

Da: Med et en stor "whoosh!"
En: With a loud "whoosh!"

Da: fandt Lars sig pludselig på vej ned ad rutsjebanen.

Da: Det var det sjoveste, de havde set hele dagen.

Da: Lars fløj gennem luften.
En: Lars flew through the air.

Da: Han så Tivoli fra et nyt perspektiv.
En: He saw Tivoli from a new perspective.

Da: Han så koncertsalen, pariserhjulet, de farverige haver og de mange forskellige madboder, der solgte alt fra churros til sushi.
En: He saw the concert hall, the Ferris wheel, the colorful gardens, and the many different food stalls selling everything from churros to sushi.

Da: Det var en vild tur gennem Tivoli.
En: It was an exciting ride through Tivoli.

Da: En tur han aldrig ville glemme.
En: A ride he would never forget.

Da: Til sidst stoppede rutsjebanen.
En: Finally, the slide stopped.

Da: Lars landede blødt på en stor luftmadras.
En: Lars landed softly on a big air mattress.

Da: Han var overrasket.
En: He was surprised.

Da: Og meget glad.
En: And very happy.

Da: Af en eller anden grund følte han sig ikke kedelig mere.
En: For some reason, he didn't feel boring anymore.

Da: Han havde haft en vild tur gennem Tivoli.
En: He had just had an incredible ride through Tivoli.

Da: Noget, han aldrig ville glemme.
En: Something he would never forget.

Da: Så selvom det var ved et uheld, havde Lars haft den bedste dag i lang tid.
En: So even though it was by accident, Lars had the best day in a long time.

Da: Han var glad.
En: He was happy.

Da: Han knipsede et billede af rutsjebanen og sendte det til sin ven.
En: He snapped a picture of the slide and sent it to his friend.

Da: "Se hvad jeg gjorde i dag!"
En: "Look what I did today!"

Da: Skrev han.
En: he wrote.

Da: Så Lars vandrede ud af Tivoli med et smil og en god historie at fortælle sine venner og familie.
En: And so, Lars walked out of Tivoli with a smile and a great story to tell his friends and family.

Da: Han vidste nu, at en dag i Tivoli kunne bringe masser af overraskelser.
