Story Transcript:

Nb: Det blåste frisk i fjellene. Snøen la seg sakte på den rustikke hytta. Hytta lå der, stille og ensom midt i vinterlandskapet.
En: It was blowing fresh in the mountains. The snow slowly covered the rustic cabin. The cabin stood there, silent and lonely in the middle of the winter landscape.

Nb: I hytta var det tre venner: Ole, Ingrid og Lars. Til tross for kulden, var de varme og glade. De tullet og lo mens de forberedte middagen. Men de hadde et problem: de hadde ikke mer mat.
En: Inside the cabin were three friends: Ole, Ingrid, and Lars. Despite the cold, they were warm and happy. They joked and laughed while preparing dinner. But they had a problem: they had run out of food.

Nb: Ole kom med en idé: "Hva med å prøve å fange en fisk i elva ved hytta?"
En: Ole came up with an idea: "What about trying to catch a fish in the river by the cabin?"

Nb: Lars stilte seg skeptisk til ideen. "Med bare hendene våre? Det vil ikke fungere!"
En: Lars was skeptical about the idea. "With just our hands? That won't work!"

Nb: Ingrid, derimot, syntes dette kunne være en god idé. "Det er verdt å prøve", sa hun.
En: Ingrid, on the other hand, thought it could be a good idea. "It's worth a try," she said.

Nb: Dekket opp i tykke klær, tråkket Ole og Lars ut i snøen. Det knirket under støvlene mens de tok veien ned til den frosne elva.
En: Dressed in thick clothes, Ole and Lars trudged through the snow. It creaked under their boots as they made their way down to the frozen river.

Nb: Rundt dem var alt stille. Bare suset fra vind gjennom trærne hørtes. De nærmet seg elva, hvor det lille området med åpent vann glitret i solen.
En: Around them, everything was quiet. Only the sound of the wind rustling through the trees could be heard. They approached the river, where the small area of open water glistened in the sun.

Nb: Ole rullet opp ermene og stakk hendene i det iskalde vannet. Han kjente hvordan kulden bet i fingrene. Lars pustet tungt mens han også begynte å prøve.
En: Ole rolled up his sleeves and plunged his hands into the icy water. He felt the cold biting at his fingers. Lars breathed heavily as he also started to try.

Nb: Tilbake ved hytta, vasket Ingrid panner og bestikk. Hun så ut av vinduet og smilte ved synet av de to vennene som slet i elven.
En: Back at the cabin, Ingrid washed pans and cutlery. She looked out the window and smiled at the sight of the two friends struggling in the river.

Nb: Etter en stund ropte Ole "Jeg har noe!". Lars løp over for å hjelpe. Med en stor kraftanstrengelse, klarte de å dra en stor, sølvglinsende fisk ut av vannet.
En: After a while, Ole shouted, "I've got something!" Lars ran over to help. With a great effort, they managed to pull out a large, silver-glistening fish from the water.

Nb: Triumferende vendte de tilbake til hytta. Ingrid møtte dem i døren, forbløffet over fangsten deres. Ole og Lars smilte stolt mens de rakte henne fisken.
En: Triumphantly, they returned to the cabin. Ingrid met them at the door, amazed by their catch. Ole and Lars smiled proudly as they handed her the fish.

Nb: Sammen tilberedte de fisken og spiste en velsmakende og mettende middag. Der satt de, fornøyde og mette, i varmen fra peisen i hytta på fjellet.
En: Together, they cooked the fish and enjoyed a delicious and satisfying meal. They sat there, content and full, in the warmth of the fireplace in the mountain cabin.

Nb: I det kalde, stille landskapet, hadde deres utfordring blitt til en triumf. Selv om oppgaven hadde vært vanskelig, hadde vennskapet deres og viljen til å prøve noe nytt, ledet dem til en løsning. De lærte at selv de hardeste utfordringer kunne overvinnes med hardt arbeid og godt selskap. Så de lo og skålte for deres lille eventyr, og visste at dette ville være en historie de ville fortelle igjen og igjen.
En: In the cold, quiet landscape, their challenge had turned into triumph. Even though the task had been difficult, their friendship and willingness to try something new had led them to a solution. They learned that even the toughest challenges could be overcome with hard work and good company. So they laughed and toasted to their little adventure, knowing that this would be a story they would tell again and again.

Nb: Da natten kom, sov de fredelig, deres hjerter og magene fulle. Det hadde vært en god dag. Og morgendagen, var det på tide med nye eventyr.
En: As night fell, they slept peacefully, their hearts and stomachs full. It had been a good day. And tomorrow, it was time for new adventures.
