Story Transcript:

Nb: En solrik ettermiddag i Frognerparken, Oslo, gikk Ola, Kari og Espen langs de vakre gangveiene.

Nb: Trærne var grønne, blomsterne blomstret, og solen skapte et vakkert lys over de kjente statuene i parken.

En: "Have you been well?"

Nb: fortsatte Kari og smilte bredt.
En: Kari continued, smiling broadly.

Nb: Ola og Espen begynte å fnise.
En: Ola and Espen started to giggle.

Nb: Espen tok hånden for å dekke munnen, men latteren hans lurte seg ut.
En: Espen covered his mouth with his hand, but his laughter slipped out.

Nb: "Har du lyst til å ta en kaffe senere?"
En: "Would you like to grab a coffee later?"

Nb: spurte Kari og vinket til statuen.
En: Kari asked, waving to the statue.

Nb: Ola og Espen kunne ikke holde seg lenger.
En: Ola and Espen couldn't hold it in anymore.

Nb: De brøt ut i høy latter.
En: They burst out in loud laughter.

Nb: Kari snudde seg og rødmet da hun endelig forsto.
En: Kari turned around and blushed when she finally understood.

Nb: Det var ikke en bekjent.
En: It wasn’t an acquaintance.

Nb: Det var en av de berømte statuene i parken!
En: It was one of the famous statues in the park!

Nb: "Å nei, hva har jeg gjort?"
En: "Oh no, what have I done?"

Nb: mumlet Kari, sjokkert og flau.
En: Kari muttered, shocked and embarrassed.

Nb: Ola og Espen kom bort til Kari, fortsatt leende.
En: Ola and Espen walked over to Kari, still laughing.

Nb: Kari så på dem, og til slutt begynte hun også å le.
En: Kari looked at them, and finally, she started to laugh too.

Nb: Hennes feil var komisk, og snart lo alle tre sammen.
En: Her mistake was comical, and soon all three were laughing together.

Nb: Etter å ha roet seg, sa Espen, "Kari, du har gitt oss dagens beste latter."
En: After calming down, Espen said, "Kari, you’ve given us the best laugh of the day."

Nb: Kari smilte, "Ja, det var pinlig, men heller det enn å ikke kunne le av seg selv."
En: Kari smiled, "Yes, it was embarrassing, but better that than not being able to laugh at yourself."

Nb: De fortsatte å gå gjennom parken, nå sammen.
En: They continued walking through the park, now together.
