🇩🇰 丹麦语

Sofia: "Far, se! En humlebi! Den flyver ikke. Den er udmattet."

Far: "Åh, stakkel. Den har brugt alle sine kræfter. Hvad tror du, den har brug for?"

Sofia: "Måske is! Anna i bogen gav humlebien is. Kan den dufte min is?"

Far: "Ja, prøv at holde den hen til den. Den kan måske suge lidt."

Sofia holder isen ned til humlebien. Humlebien kravler hen og begynder at suge.

Sofia: "Se far! Den suger! Måske kan den snart lette."

Humlebien brummer svagt, vifter med vingerne og flyver op mod himlen.

Sofia: "Den fløj! Den fløj hen til haven!"

Far: "Ja, du hjalp den med at komme tilbage til naturen."

Sofia: "Skal vi nu gå ind og hente is fra kummefryseren?"

🇬🇧 English

Sofia: "Dad, look! A bumblebee! It's not flying. It's exhausted."

Dad: "Oh, poor thing. It's used up all its strength. What do you think it needs?"

Sofia: "Maybe ice cream! Anna in the book gave the bumblebee ice cream. Can it smell my ice cream?"

Dad: "Yes, try holding it out to it. Maybe it can suck a little."

Sofia holds the ice cream down to the bumblebee. The bumblebee crawls over and starts to suck.
