I have tried to make a story that helps you to learn danish words fast and easy way.
Long time ago, in a little yelow house one father,mother and thier son were living.Sunlight directly hit the house.Everyday they woke up,they could see the sun directly up in the sky.In the night,stars can be seen from house.
Inside the house they had one room. Their grey cat chased a mouse around the chairs. The son laughed hard that he had to sit on his legs.
One day they got on a red bus. The son put his eye. Ear against the window and watched the world go by. When night came the city was shining with lights.
On their way home they took their blue car. When they went back through the door they saw something in the room: a big arrow pointing at a funny statue made of a long bone and a waving arm.
The cat was. The mouse was peeking out. They knew the time of the day and night was being together in their house.
You can also read the story in Danish:
Der var engang et lille gult hus under den varme sol. Her boede en far en mor og deres nysgerrige søn. Hver dag vågnede de til lyst lys gennem den åbne dør og hver nat lukkede de den når stjernerne kom frem.
Inde i huset var der ét stort rum. Deres grå kat jagtede en lille grå mus, og sønnen lo så meget, at han måtte sidde på sine ben.
En solrig dag tog familien på tur. De løb ud til den røde bus, og sønnen pressede sit øje og øre mod ruden. Snart ankom de til byen, hvor lysene glimtede endnu smukkere da natten faldt på.
Hjem tog de den lille blå bil. Da de trådte ind ad døren igen, stod noget mærkeligt i rummet: en stor pil pegede på en sjov statue af et langt ben og en vinkende arm.
Med katten der spandt, og musen der kiggede frem, vidste de at den bedste tid på dagen og natten var at være sammen i deres lille hus.
