Da: Mikkel sad afslappet tilbage i stolen, men hans tanker var anderledes.

Da: Han ønskede ikke at skuffe Freja, selvom han ofte tog sin tid med tingene.

Da: "Vi skal lave et godt projekt," sagde Freja og forsøgte at lyde rolig.
En: "We need to make a good project," said Freja, trying to sound calm.

Da: "Det vil hjælpe med vores samlede karakter."
En: "It will help with our overall grade."

Da: "Det ved jeg," svarede Mikkel.
En: "I know," replied Mikkel.

Da: "Måske kan vi prøve noget nyt. Jeg har nogle idéer."
En: "Maybe we can try something new. I have some ideas."

Da: Freja tøvede. Hun var vant til at tage styringen.
En: Freja hesitated. She was used to taking charge.

Da: Men denne gang var hun klar til at forsøge noget andet.
En: But this time, she was ready to try something different.

Da: "Okay, Mikkel. Du kan lede an i den del af projektet, du nævnte."
En: "Okay, Mikkel, you can lead the part of the project you mentioned."

Da: Mikkel så overrasket op.
En: Mikkel looked up surprised.

Da: Han kunne se på Freja, at det ikke havde været let for hende at lade ham tage tøjlerne.
En: He could see in Freja that it hadn’t been easy for her to let him take the reins.

Da: Men han følte også en varme af ansvar.

Da: Med arbejdsglæde begyndte han at dele sine idéer.
En: With joy in his work, he began to share his ideas.

Da: "Vi klarede det," sagde Freja med et lettet smil.
En: "We did it," said Freja with a relieved smile.

Da: "Ja, vi fungerede godt sammen," svarede Mikkel, glad for at de havde balanceret hinandens egenskaber.
En: "Yes, we worked well together," replied Mikkel, happy that they had balanced each other’s abilities.

Da: Mere end det, de havde lært at stole på hinanden og havde skabt en stærkere venskab.

Da: Freja vidste nu, at det var okay at lade andre bidrage, og Mikkel følte sig mere selvsikker.
En: Freja now knew it was okay to let others contribute, and Mikkel felt more confident.

Da: Med ilden der stadig knitrede stille i pejsen og skoven der hviskede en efterårssang udenfor, fyldtes hytten med en følelse af tilfredshed og nyvunden selvtillid.
