Snefnuggene dalede stille ned over Tivoli i København.

The snowflakes drifted gently over Tivoli in København.

De små lys i træerne glitrede som stjerner, og luften duftede af brændte mandler og varm gløgg.

The small lights in the trees glittered like stars, and the air smelled of roasted almonds and warm gløgg.

Jens gik gennem de brostensbelagte stier, med en sneglobe i hånden.

Jens walked through the cobblestone paths, with a snow globe in hand.

Han havde købt den på julemarkedet.

He had bought it at the Christmas market.

Det var en simpel globe med en miniature af Tivoli inde i den, men da han havde rystet den, fandt han noget mærkeligt - en besked!

It was a simple globe with a miniature of Tivoli inside, but when he shook it, he found something strange - a message!

Jens var journalist, og hans nysgerrighed blev straks vakt.

Jens was a journalist, and his curiosity was immediately piqued.

Han kunne ikke lade være med at spekulere på, hvad den skjulte besked betød.

He couldn't help but wonder what the hidden message meant.

Han trak et lille stykke papir ud af globen.

He pulled a small piece of paper out of the globe.

"Find det skjulte i det ældste sted," stod der blot.

"Find it hidden in the oldest place," it simply said.

Jens vidste, at han havde lidt tid, før markedet lukkede.

Jens knew he had a bit of time before the market closed.

Grønne og røde lamper blinkede i takt med julemusikken, og han måtte skynde sig.

Green and red lamps blinked in time with the Christmas music, and he had to hurry.

Han gik direkte til sin ven Lars, der arbejdede i Tivoli.

He went directly to his friend Lars, who worked at Tivoli.

Lars vidste mange ting om stedet.

Lars knew many things about the place.

"Lars, jeg har brug for din hjælp," sagde Jens, mens han viste beskeden.

"Lars, I need your help," said Jens, showing him the message.

Lars nikkede og tænkte sig om.

Lars nodded and thought for a moment.

"Det ældste sted må være Galoppen," svarede han.

"The oldest place must be the Galoppen," he answered.

"Den gamle karussel.

"The old carousel.

Lad os gå derhen."

Let's go there."

De to venner gik hurtigt gennem menneskemængderne.

The two friends quickly made their way through the crowds.

Karusellen var smukt pyntet til jul.

The carousel was beautifully decorated for Christmas.

Børn lo og dansede rundt, mens de voksne så på med smil.

Children laughed and danced around while the adults watched with smiles.

Jens og Lars begyndte at undersøge området.

Jens and Lars began to search the area.

De kiggede under bænke, bag ved skilte, men fandt ingenting.

They looked under benches, behind signs, but found nothing.

Pludselig hørte de Mette, en kollega fra Tivoli, råbe fra den anden side af karusellen.

Suddenly, they heard Mette, a colleague from Tivoli, calling from the other side of the carousel.

"Jens!

"Jens!

Lars!

Lars!

Kom herhen!"

Come over here!"

Mette havde fundet en lille æske gemt bag en gammel træfigur.

Mette had found a small box hidden behind an old wooden figure.

Inde i æsken var der et billede af Georg Carstensen, Tivolis arkitekt.

Inside the box was a picture of Georg Carstensen, Tivoli's architect.

På bagsiden af billedet stod der endnu en besked: "Han skabte magien ikke kun for sjov, men for at bevare håb og drømme."

On the back of the picture, there was another message: "He created the magic not just for fun, but to preserve hope and dreams."

Jens læste beskeden igen.

Jens read the message again.

Det gik op for ham, at den gemte besked var en hyldest til Tivolis historie og dets magi.

He realized that the hidden message was a tribute to Tivoli's history and its magic.

Han kunne næsten høre Carstensen selv hviske om de drømme, han havde haft for stedet.

He could almost hear Carstensen himself whispering about the dreams he had for the place.

Paraden begyndte samtidig med, at Jens og Lars løste mysteriet.

The parade began just as Jens and Lars solved the mystery.

Lyden af musik og jubel fyldte haven, og farverige vogne kørte forbi.

The sound of music and cheers filled the park, and colorful floats passed by.

Jens vidste, at han havde en god historie.

Jens knew he had a good story.

Han besluttede at skrive en artikel om denne skjulte fortælling fra Tivolis fortid.

He decided to write an article about this hidden tale from Tivoli's past.

Historien blev en stor succes.

The story was a big success.

Den bragte smil og forundring til dem, der læste med.

It brought smiles and wonder to those who read it.

Tivoli blev endnu mere magisk den jul, og Jens havde lært noget vigtigt.

Tivoli became even more magical that Christmas, and Jens learned something important.

Han indså, at ikke alle historier behøvede at ændre verden for at være værdifulde.

He realized that not all stories needed to change the world to be valuable.

Nogle gange var glæden ved at opdage noget skjult nok til at lyse op i den kolde vintertid.

Sometimes, the joy of discovering something hidden was enough to brighten the cold wintertime.
