Story Transcript:

Da: Lars havde travlt med at nå sin aftale på Strøget.
En: Lars was in a hurry to reach his appointment at Strøget.

Da: Han tog en cykel fra rækken udenfor stationen og trampede afsted.
En: He took a bicycle from the row outside the station and pedaled off.

Da: Men pludselig væltede han omkuld.
En: But suddenly he fell over.

Da: Han havde sat sig på den forkerte cykel.
En: He had got on the wrong bike.

Da: Da han kiggede op, så han lige ind i ansigtet på sin chef, der stod på den anden side af gaden og fnisede.
En: Looking up, he looked right into the face of his boss, who was standing across the street, giggling.

Da: Lars kunne mærke rødmen stige til hans kinder.
En: Lars could feel the blush rising to his cheeks.

Da: "Undskyld, det var en fejltagelse," mumlede han og skyndte sig væk.
En: "Sorry, it was a mistake," he muttered and hurried away.

Da: Men hans chef tog fat i hans arm og sagde: "Det er ok, Lars.
En: But his boss grabbed his arm and said, "It's ok, Lars.

Da: Jeg kan ikke lade være med at grine, men det betyder ikke noget.
En: I can't help but laugh, but it doesn't matter.

Da: Vi har travlt, så lad os skynde os videre."
En: We're busy, so let's hurry on."

Da: Lars åndede lettet op og sammen cyklede de afsted gennem Københavns gader.
En: Lars breathed a sigh of relief and together they cycled off through the streets of Copenhagen.

Da: Da de nåede frem til deres møde, havde Lars allerede glemt den akavede situation og var klar til at tage fat på arbejdet.
En: By the time they reached their meeting, Lars had already forgotten the awkward situation and was ready to get down to business.
