Lars, der gik langs kanalen, kiggede på sine omgivelser med et mildt smil.
Lars, who was walking along the canal, looked at his surroundings with a mild smile.
Han elskede Nyhavn og dens livlighed.
He loved Nyhavn and its liveliness.
Selvom han var pensioneret læge, savnede han ofte følelsen af at gøre en forskel.

Tankerne susede gennem hendes hoved.
Thoughts rushed through her head.
Skulle hun hjælpe Mikkel eller løbe efter hjælp?

Tårer truede med at overskygge hendes syn, men hun tog en dyb indånding.
Tears threatened to blur her vision, but she took a deep breath.
Hun måtte handle nu.
She had to act now.
"Lars!"

Freja samlede sig selv og råbte til folkene omkring: "Ring til en ambulance!"

Hans gamle færdigheder fra lægetiden tog over.

"He needs help quickly, but it looks like he will be okay," said Lars with a reassuring voice.
Ambulancen kom hurtigt.

Freja ventede nervøst, mens Mikkel blev taget hånd om.
Freja waited nervously while Mikkel was taken care of.
Da situationen var under kontrol, åndede Freja lettet op.

Everything she feared turned out to be her strength.
Hun kunne klare mere, end hun troede muligt.
She could handle more than she thought possible.

Denne dag, midt i festivalens kaos, havde mindet ham om, hvorfor han blev læge.

Måske kunne han alligevel finde en måde at fortsætte med at hjælpe folk på.
