Story Transcript:

Nb: Ole, en gutt fra Norge, hadde aldri gått på skøyter før.
En: Ole, a boy from Norway, had never skated before.

Nb: Han følte seg litt spent, men også spent på å prøve det ut.
En: He felt a little nervous, but also excited to try it out.

Nb: Han møtte vennene sine på en innsjø og de hjalp ham med å binde på seg skøytene.
En: He met his friends at a lake and they helped him tie on his skates.

Nb: "Prøv å stå oppreist og bruk armene for balanse," sa en av vennene hans.
En: "Try to stand up straight and use your arms for balance," said one of his friends.

Nb: Ole prøvde å stå oppreist, men hans skjelvende ben hadde problemer med å finne balansen.
En: Ole tried to stand upright, but his trembling legs had trouble finding his balance.

Nb: Han tok et steg og begynte å skli.
En: He took a step and began to slide.

Nb: "Dette er ikke så ille," tenkte han.
En: "This isn't so bad," he thought.

Nb: Men så mistet han balansen, og før han visste ordet av det, skled han ukontrollert over innsjøen.
En: But then he lost his balance, and before he knew it, he was sliding uncontrollably across the lake.

Nb: "Åh nei!"
En: "Oh no!"

Nb: ropte han.
En: he shouted.

Nb: Hans venner lo og pekte på ham.
En: His friends laughed and pointed at him.

Nb: Men Ole kunne ikke stoppe seg selv.
En: But Ole couldn't stop himself.

Nb: Han fortsatte å skli, og til slutt kræsjet han inn i en snøbanke.
En: He continued to slide, eventually crashing into a snowbank.

Nb: "Er du ok?"
En: "Are you okay?"

Nb: spurte vennene hans og prustet av latter.
En: his friends asked, snorting with laughter.

Nb: "Jeg er ok, men det gjorde litt vondt," sa Ole mens han reiste seg opp.
En: "I'm fine, but it hurt a bit," Ole said as he stood up.

Nb: Selv om han hadde falt og kræsjet, var det litt morsomt å prøve noe nytt.
En: Even though he had fallen and crashed, it was kind of fun to try something new.

Nb: Ole bestemte seg for å prøve å gå på skøyter igjen neste gang han møtte vennene sine på innsjøen.
En: Ole decided to try skating again the next time he met his friends at the lake.

Nb: Han hadde lært å ikke gi opp etter én feil.
En: He had learned not to give up after one mistake.
