Story Transcript:

Nb: På en lys dag i Oslo begynte to venner på en eventyrlig reise.
En: On a bright day in Oslo, two friends embarked on an adventurous journey.

Nb: Den bleke solen hang lavt på himmelen over stedet de kalte hjem.
En: The pale sun hung low in the sky over the place they called home.

Nb: Lars, med hans blonde hår og blå øyne, og Ingrid, den ivrige brunette med en lommelykt i hånden, begynte å gå mot skogen.
En: Lars, with his blonde hair and blue eyes, and Ingrid, the enthusiastic brunette with a flashlight in hand, started walking towards the forest.

Nb: De visste ikke at de skulle snuble over en gruppe troll.
En: Little did they know, they would stumble upon a group of trolls.

Nb: Lars og Ingrid hadde alltid hatt en kjærlighet for fotturer.
En: Lars and Ingrid had always loved hiking.

Nb: Men denne gangen gikk de dypere inn i skogen enn de noen gang hadde gjort før.
En: But this time, they ventured deeper into the woods than they had ever done before.

Nb: Etter flere timer mistet de stien de fulgte.
En: After several hours, they lost the trail they were following.

Nb: De så rundt seg, men alle trærne så helt like ut.
En: They looked around, but all the trees looked identical.

Nb: De var bortkomne.
En: They were lost.

Nb: "Tror du vi er tapte?"
En: "Do you think we're lost?"

Nb: spurte Ingrid med en skjelvende stemme.
En: Ingrid asked with a trembling voice.

Nb: "Kanskje," svarte Lars med en bekymret mine.
En: "Maybe," Lars replied with a worried expression.

Nb: De bestemte seg for å sette seg ned på en stor stein og tenke på hva de skulle gjøre videre.
En: They decided to sit down on a large rock and think about what to do next.

Nb: Da de satt der, hørte de plutselig rare lyder.
En: As they sat there, they suddenly heard strange sounds.

Nb: De var som en blanding av småstein som rullet, dype grynt og latter.
En: It was like a combination of rolling pebbles, deep grunts, and laughter.

Nb: De kunne knapt tro det de så da en gruppe troll dukket opp mellom trærne.
En: They could hardly believe their eyes when a group of trolls emerged between the trees.

Nb: Trollene var små og store, noen var brede og andre var slanke, alle var dekke med mørkegrønn mose.
En: The trolls were small and big, some were wide and others were slender, all covered in dark green moss.

Nb: De spilte og lo og virket uskyldige.
En: They played and laughed, seeming innocent.

Nb: Men Lars og Ingrid visste at trollene kunne være farlige.
En: But Lars and Ingrid knew that trolls could be dangerous.

Nb: Ingrid hvisket til Lars, "Vi må prøve å snike oss ut herfra uten at trollene ser oss."
En: Ingrid whispered to Lars, "We have to try sneaking out of here without the trolls seeing us."

Nb: Men før Lars kunne svare, snublet han over en stein og falt.
En: But before Lars could reply, he stumbled over a rock and fell.

Nb: Alle trollene stoppet og så på ham.
En: All the trolls stopped and looked at him.

Nb: De var fanget, og trollene nærmet seg dem.
En: They were trapped, and the trolls approached them.

Nb: Men i stedet for å være slemme, viste trollene seg å være vennlige.
En: But instead of being mean, the trolls turned out to be friendly.

Nb: De spurte hva Lars og Ingrid gjorde i skogen, og de forklarte at de hadde gått seg vill.
En: They asked what Lars and Ingrid were doing in the forest, and they explained that they had gotten lost.

Nb: Trollene lo og sa at de skulle hjelpe dem tilbake.
En: The trolls laughed and said they would help them get back.

Nb: Så de gikk alle sammen gjennom skogen, og trollene viste dem den rette veien.
En: So they all walked through the forest together, and the trolls showed them the right way.

Nb: Lars og Ingrid sa takk og løp hjem så fort de kunne.
En: Lars and Ingrid said thank you and ran home as fast as they could.

Nb: Da de kom hjem, lo de av eventyret deres.
En: When they arrived home, they laughed about their adventure.

Nb: De hadde ikke bare gått seg vill i skogen, de hadde også møtt virkelige troll.
En: Not only had they gotten lost in the forest, but they had also encountered real trolls.

Nb: "Det var det beste eventyret noensinne," sa Lars.
En: "That was the best adventure ever," Lars said.

Nb: Og Ingrid nikket.
En: And Ingrid nodded.

Nb: "Jeg kommer aldri til å glemme dette."
En: "I will never forget this."

Nb: Og det var dagen de heller aldri glemte: dagen da de gikk seg vill og møtte en vennlig gruppe med troll i skogen.
En: And that was the day they never forgot: the day they got lost and encountered a friendly group of trolls in the forest.

Nb: Det viktigste var at de lærte leksen sin om vennlighet fra de mest usannsynlige skapningene, trollene.
En: Most importantly, they learned their lesson about kindness from the most unlikely creatures, the trolls.
