Kronborg Slot stod stolt ved kysten, dens sten grå og kolde mod vinterens hvide tæppe.

Kronborg Slot stood proudly by the coast, its stones gray and cold against the winter's white blanket.

Niels, Astrid og Freja gik sammen med en gruppe turister, der begrundede i slottets skønhed og historie.

Niels, Astrid, and Freja walked with a group of tourists, all marveling at the castle's beauty and history.

Niels havde en skjult plan.

Niels had a hidden plan.

Han ønskede at imponere Astrid med sin viden om slottes historie.

He wished to impress Astrid with his knowledge of the castle's history.

Han havde ligget søvnløs natten før, gennemtænkt de bedste fakta, han kunne dele.

He had lain sleepless the night before, contemplating the best facts he could share.

Astrid, med sine strålende øjne fulde af nysgerrighed, var ivrig efter at lære mere om stedet.

Astrid, with her bright eyes full of curiosity, was eager to learn more about the site.

Kronborg Slot var fyldt med historier, spøgelser og kongernes hemmeligheder.

Kronborg Slot was filled with stories, ghosts, and the secrets of kings.

Mens de gik gennem den store sal, begyndte Niels at tale om slottets historie.

As they walked through the great hall, Niels began to speak about the castle's history.

"Dette slot blev bygget i 1420 af Erik af Pommern," sagde han.

"This castle was built in 1420 by Erik af Pommern," he said.

Astrid nikkede interesseret, men hendes opmærksomhed blev snart fangeret af Freja.

Astrid nodded with interest, but her attention was soon captured by Freja.

Freja, en lokal, havde sluttet sig til gruppen tidligere og syntes at vide mere om slottet end selv guiderne.

Freja, a local, had joined the group earlier and seemed to know more about the castle than even the guides.

Hun havde en mystisk aura omkring sig.

She had a mysterious aura about her.

"Vidste du, at der er en hemmelig passage bag tapetet i kongens kammer?"

"Did you know there's a secret passage behind the tapestry in the king’s chamber?"

spurgte Freja og smilede.

Freja asked, smiling.

Astrid lyttede fascineret og ønskede at høre mere.

Astrid listened, fascinated, wanting to hear more.

Niels følte sig udfordret.

Niels felt challenged.

Hvordan kunne han fange Astrids interesse, når Freja delte sådanne eventyrlige historier?

How could he capture Astrid's interest when Freja was sharing such adventurous stories?

Men så kom han på en idé.

But then he had an idea.

I stedet for at konkurrere med Freja, besluttede han at samarbejde med hende.

Instead of competing with Freja, he decided to collaborate with her.

Da de nåede et rum med kunstfærdige loftsmalerier, sagde Niels: "Freja, hvorfor deler du ikke flere af dine historier, mens jeg fortæller om kunstværkerne her?"

When they reached a room with ornate ceiling paintings, Niels said, "Freja, why don’t you share more of your stories while I talk about the artworks here?"

Freja nikkede, og de to begyndte at samarbejde, deres viden flettet sammen som jubel og mysterium.

Freja nodded, and the two began to work together, their knowledge intertwined like celebration and mystery.

Pludselig begyndte sneen at falde tungere udenfor.

Suddenly, the snow began to fall heavier outside.

Vinden bragte en pludseligt snestorm, og snart var hele gruppen fanget inde i slotsmurene.

The wind brought a sudden snowstorm, and soon the entire group was trapped inside the castle walls.

Med ingen steder at gå indrettede de sig tæt ved en stor pejs.

With nowhere to go, they settled near a large fireplace.

Luften var kold, men deres selskab var varm.

The air was cold, but their company was warm.

Niels og Freja fortalte historier, mens Astrid lyttede betaget.

Niels and Freja told stories while Astrid listened, captivated.

Slottets historie og legender holdt dem selskab indtil stormen lagde sig.

The castle's history and legends kept them company until the storm subsided.

Da de endelig kunne forlade slottet, kiggede Astrid på Niels og sagde: "Jeg elsker dine historier såvel som Frejas.

When they could finally leave the castle, Astrid looked at Niels and said, "I love your stories as much as Freja's.

Jeg er glad for, at vi delte denne oplevelse."

I'm glad we shared this experience."

Niels smilede, lettet og glad.

Niels smiled, relieved and happy.

Han lærte, at nogle gange er samarbejde mere værdifuldt end konkurrence.

He learned that sometimes collaboration is more valuable than competition.

Venskabet mellem de tre voksede, som det snedækkede Kronborg Slot langsomt forsvandt i horisonten.

The friendship between the three grew as the snow-covered Kronborg Slot slowly disappeared on the horizon.
