En: In Tivoli, an amusement park filled with light and laughter, Lars and Sofie were dressed in their traditional Viking costumes.

Da: Sofie, klædt i en flot læderkappe og med et skjold over ryggen, prøvede at finde en måde at komme op i Den Flyvende Kuffert.
En: Sofie, dressed in a nice leather cape and with a shield over her back, tried to find a way to get into the Flying Suitcase.

Da: Men da hun forsøgte at kigge ind i den lille kikkert, der viste magiske smutveje, hev hun pludselig fat i en andens hår.
