Anders, Lars og Sofie var til en dansk fødselsdagsfest på en solrig sommerdag.

Anders, Lars and Sofie were at a Danish birthday party on a sunny summer day.

Festen blev holdt i en smuk have, hvor der var en stor havepavillon dækket med farverige balloner og glitrende guirlander.

The party was held in a beautiful garden where there was a large gazebo covered with colorful balloons and glittering garlands.

Der var også et stort bord fyldt med lækre madretter og en kage med lysene klar til at blive pustet ud.

There was also a large table full of delicious food and a cake with candles ready to be blown out.

Alle gæsterne samledes omkring bordet, da det var tid til at synge fødselsdagssangen og fejre fødselsdagspigen.

All the guests gathered around the table when it was time to sing the birthday song and celebrate the birthday girl.

Men før nogen kunne tage fat i sangen, skete der noget uventet.

But before anyone could get hold of the song, something unexpected happened.

Fødselsdagsspigen, Sofie, var så ivrig efter at komme i gang med festlighederne, at hun ved et uheld blæste alle lysene ud, før nogen nåede at synge sangen.

The birthday girl, Sofie, was so eager to get the festivities started that she accidentally blew out all the candles before anyone could sing the song.

Et øjeblik af stilhed fulgte, og så begyndte alle at grine højt.

A moment of silence followed and then everyone started laughing out loud.

"Nå, det er da en måde at holde alderen hemmelig på," sagde Lars og blinkede til Sofie.

"Well, it's a way to keep your age a secret," said Lars and winked at Sofie.

De andre gæster grinede og gjorde nar, men det var venligt ment.

The other guests laughed and made fun, but it was meant in a friendly way.

Sofie, der normalt ville have rødmende af skam, begyndte også at grine.

Sofie, who would normally be blushing with shame, also started laughing.

Hun indså, at fejlen faktisk var ret sjov, og at hendes venner ikke mente noget ondt med deres spøgefulde kommentarer.

She realized that the mistake was actually quite funny and that her friends meant no harm by their joking comments.

Anders kom i tanke om noget og stillede sig på en stol.

Anders thought of something and sat down on a chair.

Han proklamerede: "Lad os alle synge fødselsdagssangen alligevel og fejre Sofie på den rigtige måde!"

He proclaimed: "Let's all sing the birthday song anyway and celebrate Sofie the right way!"

Alle gæsterne jublende og begyndte at synge så højt, at det kunne høres i hele nabolaget.

All the guests cheered and began to sing so loudly that it could be heard throughout the neighborhood.

Efter sangen blev der serveret kage, og festen fortsatte med dans og sjove lege.

After the song, cake was served and the party continued with dancing and fun games.

Sofie rodede sig ind i traditionelle festspil som "musikstole" og "flaskehvirvler".

Sofie got involved in traditional party games such as "musical chairs" and "bottle swirls".

Da dagen gik på hæld og solen langsomt forsvandt bag horisonten, samledes alle endnu engang omkring fødselsdagspigen.

As the day drew to a close and the sun slowly disappeared behind the horizon, everyone once again gathered around the birthday girl.

Trods den lille mishap med lysene følte Sofie, at hun havde haft en fantastisk fødselsdag, fyldt med latter og glæde.

Despite the small mishap with the lights, Sofie felt that she had had a fantastic birthday, filled with laughter and joy.

Da hun pustede lysene ud for anden gang og alle gæsterne klappede og råbte hurra, følte Sofie sig som den heldigste person i verden.

When she blew out the candles for the second time and all the guests clapped and shouted hurray, Sofie felt like the luckiest person in the world.

Hun indså, at det ikke var vigtigt at holde alderen hemmelig eller at alt skulle gå perfekt.

She realized that it wasn't important to keep her age a secret or that everything had to go perfectly.

Det vigtigste var at være sammen med sine venner og familie og dele lykke og sjov.

The most important thing was to be with his friends and family and share happiness and fun.

Festen sluttede med et stort fyrværkerishow, og gæsterne gik glade hjem, fulde af gode minder og latter.

The party ended with a huge fireworks display and the guests went home happy, full of good memories and laughter.

Sofie gik i seng den aften med et smil på læben og en varm følelse i hjertet, for hun vidste, at hun havde haft den bedste fødselsdag nogensinde.

Sofie went to bed that night with a smile on her face and a warm feeling in her heart, because she knew she had had the best birthday ever.

For som de siger, alder er blot et tal, og det vigtigste er at omfavne alle de sjove og uforglemmelige øjeblikke, livet bringer.

Because as they say, age is just a number and the most important thing is to embrace all the fun and unforgettable moments that life brings.
