Story Transcript:

Nb: Lars sto på isen.
En: Lars stood on the ice.

Nb: Han skulle prøve å gå på skøyter for første gang.
En: He was going to try ice skating for the first time.

Nb: Ingrid og Sven så på og smilte.
En: Ingrid and Sven watched and smiled.

Nb: De visste at dette kunne bli morsomt.
En: They knew this could be fun.

Nb: "Du må holde balansen, Lars," sa Ingrid.
En: "You have to keep your balance, Lars," said Ingrid.

Nb: "Prøv å ikke falle."
En: "Try not to fall."

Nb: Lars nikket og prøvde å gjøre som hun sa.
En: Lars nodded and tried to do as she said.

Nb: Han løftet den ene foten og puttet den på isen.
En: He lifted one foot and put it on the ice.

Nb: Men så, SPLASH!
En: But then, SPLASH!

Nb: Lars endte opp i en snøbank.
En: Lars ended up in a snowbank.

Nb: Ingrid og Sven lo høyt mens de hjalp Lars opp.
En: Ingrid and Sven laughed loudly as they helped Lars up.

Nb: "Det er greit, Lars," sa Sven.
En: "It's okay, Lars," said Sven.

Nb: "Alle begynner et sted."
En: "Everyone starts somewhere."

Nb: Lars reiste seg opp og prøvde igjen.
En: Lars got up and tried again.

Nb: Han tok noen forsiktige skrit på isen.
En: He took a few careful steps on the ice.

Nb: Men så, WOOSH!
En: But then, WOOSH!

Nb: Lars mistet balansen og falt igjen.
En: Lars lost his balance and fell again.

Nb: "Noen ganger er det bedre å se rett frem," sa Ingrid.
En: "Sometimes it's better to look straight ahead," said Ingrid.

Nb: "Ikke se ned på føttene."
En: "Don't look down at your feet."

Nb: Lars nikket og gjorde sitt beste for å holde ansiktet rett.
En: Lars nodded and did his best to keep a straight face.

Nb: Men da han skulle ta et skritt fremover, klarte han å skjære ut og krasjet inn i Sven.
En: But as he was about to take a step forward, he managed to cut out and crashed into Sven.

Nb: "Neste gang, prøv å se hvor du går," sa Sven, mens han lo og hjalp Lars opp igjen.
En: "Next time, try to watch where you're going," Sven said, laughing and helping Lars back up.

Nb: Lars prøvde igjen.
En: Lars tried again.

Nb: Han skøytet forsiktig langs isen, prøvde å finne balansen.
En: He skated carefully along the ice, trying to find his balance.

Nb: Men så, BAM!
En: But then, BAM!

Nb: Lars snublet over en sprekk og landet på magen.
En: Lars tripped over a crack and landed on his stomach.

Nb: "Neste gang, prøv å følge med på isen," sa Ingrid.
En: "Next time, try to follow the ice," said Ingrid.

Nb: "Ikke tenk på alt annet rundt deg."
En: "Don't think about everything else around you."

Nb: Lars nikket og reiste seg opp nok en gang.
En: Lars nodded and stood up once more.

Nb: Han følte seg litt frustrert, men han ga ikke opp.
En: He felt a little frustrated, but he didn't give up.

Nb: Han måtte lære å gå på skøyter.
En: He had to learn to skate.

Nb: Time etter time prøvde Lars igjen og igjen.
En: Hour after hour, Lars tried again and again.

Nb: Han velter, styrter inn i snøbanker, og finner seg selv på bakken flere ganger.
En: He overturns, crashes into snowbanks, and finds himself on the ground several times.

Nb: Men hver gang reiste han seg opp og fortsatte.
En: But each time he got up and continued.

Nb: Til slutt, etter mange fall og mye latter, skjedde mirakelet.
En: Finally, after many falls and much laughter, the miracle happened.

Nb: Lars fant balansen.
En: Lars found the balance.

Nb: Han skøytet langs isen som om han hadde gjort det hele livet.
En: He skated along the ice as if he had been doing it all his life.

Nb: Ingrid og Sven applauderte og jublet.
En: Ingrid and Sven applauded and cheered.

Nb: "Du klarte det, Lars!"
En: "You did it, Lars!"

Nb: sa de.
En: so they.

Nb: Lars lyste av glede.
En: Lars beamed with joy.

Nb: Han hadde overvunnet frykten og mestret skøytene.
En: He had overcome his fear and mastered the skates.

Nb: Han hadde nådd sitt mål.
En: He had reached his goal.

Nb: På slutten av dagen, da de alle gikk av isen og mot varmen, kunne Lars se tilbake på den morsomme og utfordrende opplevelsen.
En: At the end of the day, when they all got off the ice and into the heat, Lars could look back on the fun and challenging experience.

Nb: Han hadde vunnet sin indre kamp og visste at han kunne klare alt han satte seg fore.
En: He had won his inner battle and knew he could do anything he set his mind to.
