Anders vågade sig.

Anders dared.

På IKEA.

At IKEA.

Han handlade.

He shopped.

Det var ett nytt soffbord.

It was a new coffee table.

Och tre stolar.

And three chairs.

Hemma öppnade han kartongerna.

At home, he opened the boxes.

Anders tittade inte på instruktionerna.

Anders didn't look at the instructions.

Han ville klara det själv.

He wanted to manage it himself.

Möblerna var i trä.

The furniture was made of wood.

Skruvarna glänste i ljuset.

The screws shimmered in the light.

Han la ut allt på vardagsrumsgolvet.

He spread everything out on the living room floor.

En hel hög var det.

It was a whole pile.

Han tänkte.

He thought.

Han klurade.

He pondered.

Var skulle allt sitta?

Where should everything go?

Det visste han inte.

He didn't know.

Men han ville prova.

But he wanted to try.

Han började med stolen.

He started with the chair.

Två ben var klara.

Two legs were done.

Men den tredje passade inte.

But the third didn't fit.

Det var svårt.

It was difficult.

Han blev arg.

He became angry.

Han tvivlade.

He doubted.

Kanske skulle han titta på instruktionerna ändå.

Maybe he should look at the instructions after all.

Men han ville inte.

But he didn't want to.

Han ville klara det själv.

He wanted to manage it himself.

Han försökte igen.

He tried again.

Och igen.

And again.

Men stolen var för vinglig.

But the chair was too wobbly.

Han gav upp på stolen.

He gave up on the chair.

Han tilläts fortfarande soffbordet.

He still had the coffee table left.

Han började.

He began.

Ett ben.

One leg.

Två ben.

Two legs.

Tre.

Three.

Och fyra.

And four.

Bordet såg bra ut.

The table looked good.

Men någonting var fel.

But something was wrong.

Han satt där.

He sat there.

Han tittade på allt.

He looked at everything.

Mellan stolens felande ben och bordets skumma form sken plastpåsen.

Between the chair's missing leg and the table's strange shape, a plastic bag gleamed.

Instruktionerna låg darin.

The instructions were inside.

Men han ignorerade dem.

But he ignored them.

Han tänkte.

He thought.

Han varnade.

He pondered.

Plötsligt såg han det.

Suddenly he saw it.

Han hade satt ett ben fel.

He had placed a leg incorrectly.

Bordet luta sig extra åt en sida.

The table leaned extra to one side.

Han försökte igen.

He tried again.

Han tog tröskeln, och skruva på bordet.

He adjusted the leg and screwed on the table.

Nu började det se rätt ut.

Now it started to look right.

Han tittade på stolen igen.

He looked at the chair again.

Han såg felet där också.

He saw the mistake there too.

Efter timmar var det klart.

After hours, it was finished.

Möblerna var färdiga.

The furniture was assembled.

De var snygga.

They looked nice.

Han var stolt.

He was proud.

Han hade klarat det.

He had managed it.

Utan instruktioner.

Without instructions.

Anders satt ner.

Anders sat down.

Han njöt av sitt arbete.

He enjoyed his work.

Men någonting var fel.

But something was wrong.

En skruv låg kvar.

A screw was left.

Han blev orolig.

He became worried.

Vad hade han missat?

What had he missed?

Han gick till möblerna.

He went to the furniture.

Han rör nu på bordet.

He pushed on the table.

Den rör sig inte.

It didn't move.

Han provade stolen.

He tried the chair.

Den var stabil.

It was stable.

Allt var bra.

Everything was fine.

Anders tittade på skruv.

Anders looked at the screw.

Han förstod.

He understood.

Han hade inte behövt den.

He hadn't needed it.

Han hade gjort det rätt.

He had done it right.

Det var bara en extra skruv.

It was just an extra screw.

Han smålog.

He smiled.

Han var glad.

He was happy.

Utan instruktioner hade han klarat av det.

Without instructions, he had succeeded.

Anders lärde den dagen.

Anders learned that day.

Han kunde göra det.

He could do it.

Han kunde montera möbler själv.

He could assemble furniture by himself.

Han behövde inte instruktioner.

He didn't need instructions.

Han var nöjd.

He was content.

Han var tillfreds.

He was satisfied.

I slutändan, satt han på sin nya stol.

In the end, he sat on his new chair.

Bredvid sitt nya bord.

Next to his new table.

Han log.

He smiled.

Han var stolt.

He was proud.

Trots all svåra, han hade klarat det.

Despite all the difficulties, he had managed it.

Och det var allt som räknades.

And that was all that mattered.
