Story Transcript:

Sv: Erik stod i Ikea och stirrade på alla bitar som låg utspridda framför honom.
En: Erik stood in Ikea and stared at all the pieces that were spread out in front of him.

Sv: Han hade köpt en bokhylla, men det fanns inga instruktioner med.
En: He had bought a bookcase, but there were no instructions with it.

Sv: Han tittade runt för att se om det fanns någon anställd tillgänglig, men de var alla upptagna med att hjälpa andra kunder.
En: He looked around to see if there were any employees available, but they were all busy helping other customers.

Sv: Erik försökte följa diagrammet på kartongen, men det gav bara en generell idé om vad bokhyllan skulle se ut som.
En: Erik tried to follow the diagram on the cardboard, but it only gave a general idea of what the bookcase should look like.

Sv: Efter att ha försökt i en timme stod Erik kvar med en hop icke-samverkande bitar.
En: After trying for an hour, Erik was left with a bunch of non-cooperating pieces.

Sv: Han muttrade för sig själv och bestämde sig för att bara sluta.
En: He muttered to himself and decided to just stop.

Sv: Men när han skulle lämna Ikea, såg han en ensam stol i en av utställningsrummen.
En: But when he was about to leave Ikea, he saw a lone chair in one of the showrooms.

Sv: Det var exakt vad han letade efter!
En: It was exactly what he was looking for!

Sv: Han kände sig lättad när han gick hem med stol i handen.
En: He felt relieved as he walked home with chair in hand.

Sv: Han la den i sitt vardagsrum och insåg att det var precis där han tänkt ha bokhyllan.
En: He put it in his living room and realized that it was exactly where he intended to put the bookcase.

Sv: Men nu behövde han inte bry sig om monteringsbesväret.
En: But now he didn't have to worry about the installation hassle.

Sv: Varje gång han passerade stolen, tänkte han på allt besvär han sluppit undan.
En: Every time he passed the chair, he thought of all the trouble he had escaped.

Sv: Ibland satt han på den och såg på TV eller läste en bok.
En: Sometimes he would sit on it and watch TV or read a book.

Sv: Det var bekvämare än en bokhylla någonsin skulle vara.
En: It was more convenient than a bookcase would ever be.

Sv: Erik var nöjd med sitt köp och tackade Ikeas bristande instruktioner.
En: Erik was satisfied with his purchase and thanked Ikea's lack of instructions.

Sv: Slutet.
En: The end.
