Forest Gnome Tales 5.

Skovnisse fortællinger 5.

"We are up early today." exclaims Thyra. "We must jam these berries to preserve them for the winter." she adds. "How can we help you?" asks Hilda (wearing a blouse with a stitched heart) "Please! bring Gorm his breakfast he is still in bed," answers Thyra. "He is not well this morning," she explains a bit worried.

"Vi er tidligt oppe i dag." udbryder Thyra. "Vi skal sylte disse bær for at de kan holde sig hele vinteren." tilføjer hun. "Hvad kan vi hjælpe dig med?" spørger Hilda (iført en bluse med et syet hjerte). "Vær venlig at give Gorm hans morgenmad, han ligger stadig i sengen," svarer Thyra. "Han har det ikke så godt her til morgen," forklarer hun en smule bekymret.


"Now we have to cool these filled jam jars," explains Thyra. "I can take them to our shelf along the wall," offers Hilda eager to help Thyra in the kitchen. "Thank you," answers Thyra and continues: "I don`t expect any visitors today, and we have a lot to do in the kitchen," she concludes.

"Nu skal vi nedkøle de fyldte syltetøjsglas," forklarer Thyra. "Jeg kan bære dem hen på vores hylde langs med væggen," tilbyder Hilda ivrig efter at hjælpe Thyra i køkkenet. "Mange tak," svarer Thyra og fortsætter: "Jeg venter ikke gæster idag og vi har en masse vi skal lave i køkkenet," slutter hun.


"Are you sick Gorm?" asks Halfdan (wearing a black suit with yellow buttons) concerned. "I presume I am only exhausted." answers Gorm. "I´ll try to sleep, he concludes yawning. "I believe you have worked too hard in the forest," the black cat exclaims silently. "Let me keep you company, Gorm!" the black cat continues. "I am very good at that, if I may say so myself," he concludes. Halfdan agrees with the black cat. "I wish you pleasant dreams, Gorm!" he adds.

"Er du syg Gorm?" Spørger Halfdan (iført sort jakkesæt med gule knapper) bekymret. "Jeg er vist kun udmattet." svarer Gorm. "Jeg vil prøve at sove," slutter han gabende. "Jeg tror, du har arbejdet for hårdt i skoven," udbryder den sorte kat lydløst. "Lad mig holde dig med selskab, Gorm!" fortsætter katten. "Jeg er rigtig god til det, hvis jeg selv skal sige det," slutter han. Halfdan er enig med den sorte kat. "Jeg ønsker dig gode drømme, Gorm!" tilføjer han.


"What is that noise?" asks Gudrun (wearing a red skirt and a big red hat). "It sounds like trumpeting elephants." Thyra suggests. "That is not possible." exclaims Hilda looking around. "I´m very concerned" she adds. "I am concerned too," exclaims the black cat silently. "Gorm needs some rest," he concludes in a worried voice.

"Hvad er det for en støj?" spørger Gudrun (klædt i en rød nederdel og en stor rød hat). "Det lyder som trompeterende elefanter." foreslår Thyra. "Det er ikke muligt." udbryder Hilda og ser sig omkring. "Jeg er meget bekymret," tilføjer hun. "Jeg er også bekymret," udbryder den sorte kat lydsløst. "Gorm har brug for hvile," slutter han med bekymret stemme.


"It is possible." The forest gnomes are shouting out loud. "It is elephants!" They are shouting in chorus very excited. "Hello everyone!" the elephant drivers are greeting while the elephants are trumpeting a lot. "This is a big surprise." Thyra exclaims. "I am sure Gorm can`t sleep through that noise," she continues. "Don`t worry," the black cat tells her silently. "I`ll make him sleep. We cats works with magic too," he concludes.

"Det er muligt." Råber skovnisserne højt. "Det er elefanter!" Råber de meget begejstret i kor. "Hej allesammen!" Hilser elefantdriverne, mens elefanterne trompeterer højt. "Dette er en stor overraskelse." udbryder Thyra. "Jeg er sikker på, at Gorm ikke kan sove i den støj," fortsætter hun. "Bare rolig," siger den sorte kat lydløst til hende. "Jeg får ham til at sove," Vi katte kan også en del magi," slutter han.


"We wanted to surprise you." Jasmine (wearing a dress with flower print) explains. "Farmer Jim sents his greetings." Jason adds (wearing blue pants and yellow shirt) "We are both working for farmer Jim." he continues. "I`m in charge of the wild animals and Jasmine takes care of the flowers on the big farm."

"Vi ville overraske jer." forklarer Jasmine (iført en kjole med blomsterprint). "Landmand Jim sender sine hilsner."  tilføjer Jason (iført blå bukser og gul skjorte) "Vi arbejder begge for bondemand Jim." fortsætter han. "Jeg har ansvaret for de vilde dyr, og Jasmine tager sig af blomsterne på den store gård."


"The elephant mom and baby are very clever," explains Jason. "Especially mom of course, she is often assisting with our work in the forest," he concludes. "I like to eat the leaves and branches in the forest," trumpets the elephant mom out loud expecting the forest gnomes to easily understand her elephant language. 

"Elefantmor og baby er meget kloge," forklarer Jason. "Især mor selvfølgelig, hun hjælper ofte med vores arbejde i skoven," slutter han. "Jeg kan godt lide at spise bladene og grenene i skoven," trompeterer elefantmoren højlydt og forventer, at skovnisserne nemt forstår hendes elefantsprog.


"Elephant mom! you may eat some of the leaves and cones from our yard," suggest the gnomes. "You have a long way home," they add. "Thank you," answers elephant mom but I prefere fresh branches from the forest. I can eat while I`m walking," she explains. "They are talking a lot about food," exclaims the one green frog to himself. "I wonder when we shall eat," exclaims the other green frog. "You become hungry when they talk so much about food," he concludes.

"Elefantmor! I kan måske spise nogle af bladene og koglerne fra vores gård," foreslår nisserne. "I har lang vej hjem," tilføjer de. "Tak," svarer elefantmor, "men jeg foretrækker friske grene fra skoven. Jeg kan spise, mens jeg går," forklarer hun. "De taler meget om mad," udbryder den ene grønne frø for sig selv. "Jeg spekulerer på, hvornår vi skal spise," udbryder den anden grønne frø. "Man bliver sulten, når de snakker så meget om mad,« slutter han.


"Gorm has been sleeping through it all," exclaims Thyra astonished while they are all waving  and shouting good bye to Jason Jasmine the elephant drivers and elephants. "I think he needs it," explains Halfdan standing next to her (wearing red hat and  black jacket). "It will do him good," He assures. "I told you," exclaims the black cat silently. "I`m very good working wonders," he concludes.

"Gorm har sovet igennem det hele," udbryder Thyra forbløffet, mens de alle vinker og råber farvel til Jason, Jasmine, elefantdriverne og elefanterne. "Jeg tror, han har brug for det," forklarer Halfdan (iført rød hat og sort jakke). "Det vil gøre ham godt," forsikrer han. "Jeg sagde det jo," udbryder den sorte kat lydløst. "Jeg er virkelig god til at udføre mirakler," slutter han.
