I en dyb skov, langt væk fra Jyllands byer, stod en lille hytte.

In a deep forest, far away from the towns of Jutland, stood a small cabin.

Omkring hytten var der høje træer, som strakte deres grene mod himlen.

Around the cabin, there were tall trees stretching their branches towards the sky.

Jakob, Signe og Mikkel var på sommerferie i denne hytte.

Jakob, Signe, and Mikkel were on summer vacation in this cabin.

De havde glædet sig til en pause fra hverdagen, men deres ferie tog en uventet drejning.

They had been looking forward to a break from everyday life, but their holiday took an unexpected turn.

En morgen fandt Mikkel en gammel kiste i hjørnet af hytten.

One morning, Mikkel found an old chest in the corner of the cabin.

Han løftede låget forsigtigt.

He lifted the lid carefully.

Indeni lå en skrøbelig rulle papir.

Inside was a fragile roll of paper.

"Se, en skattekort!"

"Look, a treasure map!"

råbte Mikkel begejstret.

Mikkel shouted excitedly.

Jakob og Signe kom løbende.

Jakob and Signe came running.

Kortet viste en sti gennem skoven til et sted markeret med et rødt "X".

The map showed a path through the forest to a spot marked with a red "X".

Skattekortet?

A treasure map?

Jakob, altid klar til eventyr, tog kortet.

Jakob, always ready for adventure, took the map.

"Vi må finde skatten," sagde han med et smil.

"We must find the treasure," he said with a smile.

Signe kiggede på ham med bekymrede øjne.

Signe looked at him with worried eyes.

"Er det klogt?"

"Is it wise?"

spurgte hun.

she asked.

Mikkel grinede.

Mikkel laughed.

"Kom nu, Signe.

"Come on, Signe.

Hvor svært kan det være?"

How hard can it be?"

De begyndte deres rejse ind i skoven.

They started their journey into the forest.

Solens stråler skinnede gennem trækronerne og skabte smukke mønstre på jorden.

The sun's rays shone through the treetops, creating beautiful patterns on the ground.

Men efter nogen tid begyndte skoven at blive mørkere og tættere.

But after some time, the forest began to get darker and denser.

Jakob mærkede sit hjerte banke hurtigt.

Jakob felt his heart beating rapidly.

Han var bange for mørket, men han sagde ikke noget.

He was afraid of the dark, but he said nothing.

Pludselig hørte de en lyd bag sig.

Suddenly, they heard a sound behind them.

"Hvad var det?"

"What was that?"

hviskede Signe nervøst.

Signe whispered nervously.

De kiggede rundt og så en skygge bevæge sig hurtigt mellem træerne.

They looked around and saw a shadow moving quickly among the trees.

"Vi er ikke alene," sagde Mikkel stille.

"We are not alone," Mikkel said quietly.

De fortsatte hurtigt fremad og fulgte kortet.

They continued forward quickly, following the map.

Hele tiden vidste de, at nogen fulgte efter dem.

All the time, they knew someone was following them.

Efter en times vandring kom de til et åbent sted.

After an hour's walk, they came to an open spot.

Foran dem var et træ, markeret på kortet.

In front of them was a tree, marked on the map.

"Det må være her," sagde Jakob.

"This must be it," said Jakob.

Men før de kunne begynde at grave, dukkede deres forfølger op.

But before they could start digging, their pursuer appeared.

En høj mand med en hætte trådte frem.

A tall man with a hood stepped forward.

"Skattekortet er mit," sagde han vredt.

"The treasure map is mine," he said angrily.

Jakob, Signe og Mikkel stod tæt sammen, ikke sikre på, hvad de skulle gøre.

Jakob, Signe, and Mikkel stood close together, unsure of what to do.

Mikkel, der altid havde en vittighed klar, sagde: "Hvis du vil have det, må du fange os først!"

Mikkel, who always had a joke ready, said, "If you want it, you'll have to catch us first!"

Signe gav Jakob et nik, og de begyndte at løbe rundt om træet, forvirrende manden.

Signe gave Jakob a nod, and they started running around the tree, confusing the man.

Jakob tog mod til sig og greb en stor gren.

Jakob mustered his courage and grabbed a large branch.

Han kastede grenen foran mandens fødder, og manden snublede.

He threw the branch at the man's feet, and the man stumbled.

Dette gav dem tid til at finde skatten.

This gave them time to find the treasure.

De gravede hurtigt og fandt en kiste fyldt med gamle mønter og smykker.

They dug quickly and found a chest filled with old coins and jewelry.

Med skatten i hænderne løb de tilbage mod hytten, mens manden stadig lå på jorden og kæmpede for at rejse sig.

With the treasure in hand, they ran back towards the cabin, while the man still lay on the ground, struggling to get up.

Da de kom tilbage til hytten, satte de sig alle ned for at trække vejret.

When they got back to the cabin, they all sat down to catch their breath.

"Vi klarede det," sagde Jakob med et stort smil.

"We did it," Jakob said with a big smile.

Signe nikkede og sagde: "Vi gjorde det sammen."

Signe nodded and said, "We did it together."

Mikkel, stadig lidt forpustet, tilføjede: "Jeg tror, vi er en god gruppe."

Mikkel, still slightly out of breath, added, "I think we're a good team."

Jakob havde overvundet sin frygt for mørket.

Jakob had overcome his fear of the dark.

Signe havde lært vigtigheden af at stole på sine venner.

Signe had learned the importance of trusting her friends.

Og Mikkel følte sig endelig tryg ved sig selv og sin plads i gruppen.

And Mikkel finally felt confident in himself and his place in the group.

Fra den dag vidste de, at de kunne klare alt sammen.

From that day on, they knew they could handle anything together.
