Hans søster havde været i udlandet i flere år og skulle endelig komme hjem til jul.

Lars tog en beslutning.

Lars made a decision.

Han ville finde noget håndlavet og unikt.

He would find something handmade and unique.

Ikke noget dyrt eller trendy.

Not something expensive or trendy.

Mens han gik forbi de sidste boder, fangede noget hans øje.

As he passed the last stalls, something caught his eye.

En ældre legetøjsmager sad og solgte smukt udskårne trælegetøj.

An elderly toy maker was sitting and selling beautifully carved wooden toys.

Lars stoppede op og kiggede nærmere.

Lars stopped and looked closer.

En lille trædukke mindede ham om et legetøj, som hans søster elskede som barn.

Uden tøven købte Lars dukken.

Without hesitation, Lars bought the doll.

Han følte en lettelse skylle over sig.

He felt a sense of relief wash over him.

Han havde fundet den perfekte gave lige i sidste øjeblik.

Kasper og Maja mødte ham med smil, da markedet lukkede.

På vej ud fra Tivoli tænkte Lars over, hvad han havde lært.

On the way out of Tivoli, Lars thought about what he had learned.

Det var ikke prisen, der betød noget.

It wasn't the price that mattered.

Det var tanken og den personlige forbindelse.

It was the thought and the personal connection.

Han var glad for, at han havde fundet noget, der virkelig ville betyde noget for hans søster.

Julen ville blive speciel i år, og Lars kunne ikke vente med at dele øjeblikket med sin familie.
