In the heart of Copenhagen, on a quiet side street off Strøget, there was a highly acclaimed restaurant - 'Golden Herring'.
Tidligt om aftenen en dag, kunne man se Lars og Sofie, siddende ved et sjældent tilgængeligt hjørnebord.
Early one evening, Lars and Sofie could be seen sitting at a rarely available corner table.
Lampe lys dansede i deres øjne, mens de nød den dæmpede stemning og udsigten til folk, der strømmede forbi.
Lamp light danced in their eyes as they enjoyed the subdued atmosphere and the view of people streaming by.

He had not noticed that instead of ordering one portion of herring, he had mistakenly ordered three.
Sofie, der kunne tale dansk flydende, havde bemærket fejlen, men fortalte det ikke.

Han savnede smagen af hjem, men han var for stolt til at give op.
He missed the taste of home, but he was too proud to give up.
Sofie var ved at kvæle af latter.
Sofie was almost choking with laughter.
Hun bankede på bordet og kunne næsten ikke få luft.
She pounded the table and could hardly catch her breath.
Hun mente dog ikke at ydmyge ham, hun fandt bare situationen komisk.
However, she did not mean to humiliate him; she just found the situation comical.
