Story Transcript:

Nb: Lars og Ingrid gikk langs de brosteinsbelagte gatene i Bergen.
En: Lars and Ingrid walked along the cobbled streets in Bergen.

Nb: Solen skinte, og de dro på kafé for å nyte en kopp kaffe.
En: The sun was shining, and they went to a cafe to enjoy a cup of coffee.

Nb: Kaféen var koselig, med varme farger og myke stoler.
En: The cafe was cosy, with warm colors and soft chairs.

Nb: Lars bestilte seg en svart kaffe, mens Ingrid valgte en kopp cappuccino.
En: Lars ordered a black coffee, while Ingrid chose a cup of cappuccino.

Nb: De satt ved et lite bord og snakket om alt mulig.
En: They sat at a small table and talked about everything.

Nb: Det var akkurat det de trengte - en avslappende og hyggelig stund sammen.
En: It was exactly what they needed - a relaxing and enjoyable time together.

Nb: Plutselig hørte de latter i nærheten.
En: Suddenly they heard laughter nearby.

Nb: De så seg rundt og oppdaget at det var Sofie, venninnen deres, som hadde kommet inn på kaféen.
En: They looked around and discovered that it was Sofie, their friend, who had entered the cafe.

Nb: Sofie hadde alltid vært klumsete, og det var tydelig at denne dagen var intet unntak.
En: Sofie had always been clumsy, and it was clear that this day was no exception.

Nb: Mens Sofie skulle til å sette seg ved bordet sammen med Lars og Ingrid, mistet hun grepet om koppen og sølte varm kaffe på seg selv.
En: While Sofie was about to sit down at the table with Lars and Ingrid, she lost her grip on the cup and spilled hot coffee on herself.

Nb: Hun skrek til og alle i kaféen snudde seg brått mot henne.
En: She screamed and everyone in the cafe suddenly turned towards her.

Nb: Lars, Ingrid og Sofie brast ut i latter.
En: Lars, Ingrid and Sofie burst out laughing.

Nb: "Bare du, Sofie!"
En: "Only you, Sophie!"

Nb: utbrøt Lars mellom latterkramper.
En: Lars exclaimed between fits of laughter.

Nb: Alle tullet med at Sofie bare prøvde å varme seg i det kalde norske været.
En: Everyone joked that Sofie was just trying to warm herself in the cold Norwegian weather.

Nb: Etter at de hadde roet seg ned, bestemte de seg for å dra ut for å finne en butikk hvor Sofie kunne kjøpe en ny bluse.
En: After they had calmed down, they decided to go out to find a shop where Sofie could buy a new blouse.

Nb: De tuslet langs kaien, og prøvde å finne en butikk i nærheten.
En: They wandered along the quay, trying to find a shop nearby.

Nb: Endelig fant de en butikk med fine klær.
En: Finally they found a shop with nice clothes.

Nb: Sofie valgte en rød bluse, og de gikk til kassen for å betale.
En: Sofie chose a red blouse, and they went to the till to pay.

Nb: Plutselig hørte de en kjent stemme bak seg.
En: Suddenly they heard a familiar voice behind them.

Nb: Det var butikkeieren, som hadde gått på skole med Lars og Ingrid.
En: It was the shop owner, who had gone to school with Lars and Ingrid.

Nb: Butikkeieren ga dem en spesiell pris på blusen som takk for gammelt vennskap.
En: The shop owner gave them a special price for the blouse as a thank you for old friendship.

Nb: Sofie var takknemlig og betalte med glede.
En: Sofie was grateful and gladly paid.

Nb: Så gikk de tilbake til kaféen for å avslutte kaffestunden.
En: Then they went back to the cafe to end their coffee break.

Nb: De drakk opp resten av kaffen sin og fortsatte å prate og le.
En: They drank the rest of their coffee and continued to chat and laugh.

Nb: Det var en perfekt avslutning på en liten uhellsrik, men morsom dag.
En: It was a perfect end to a slightly unfortunate but fun day.

Nb: På vei hjem lo de av hendelsen igjen.
En: On the way home, they laughed about the incident again.

En: Sofie had learned to be careful with coffee cups, and the three friends knew they would have many more memories to make together.

Nb: Sånn endte historien om Lars, Ingrid og Sofie i Bergen, hvor en kaffedråpe førte til en god latter og et vennskap som var like sterkt som brosteinsgatene i byen.
En: This is how the story of Lars, Ingrid and Sofie in Bergen ended, where a drop of coffee led to a good laugh and a friendship that was as strong as the cobbled streets of the city.
