Story Transcript:

Nb: Ole, Lars og Ingrid var på fjellet, i en koselig norsk fjellhytte.
En: Ole, Lars, and Ingrid were in the mountains, in a cozy Norwegian mountain cabin.

Nb: En dag da solen skinte høyt på himmelen, merket de noe uvanlig.
En: One day, when the sun was shining high in the sky, they noticed something unusual.

Nb: Det var trampende lyder, bråk og knusing.
En: There were stomping sounds, noise, and crashes.

Nb: Alle tre så på hverandre.
En: All three looked at each other.

Nb: "Er det et troll?
En: "Is it a troll?"

Nb: " spurte Ingrid med frykt i stemmen.
En: asked Ingrid with fear in her voice.

Nb: Ole, som var den modigste av dem, tok på seg jakken.
En: Ole, who was the bravest of them, put on his jacket.

Nb: "Vi må fange det," sa han.
En: "We must catch it," he said.

Nb: Lars, den smarte, tenkte hardt og raskt kom opp med en plan.
En: Lars, the smart one, thought hard and quickly came up with a plan.

Nb: De hadde et stort gammelt fiske nett.
En: They had a large old fishing net.

Nb: Ole og Lars ville bruke dette nettet til å fange trollet.
En: Ole and Lars would use this net to catch the troll.

Nb: Men de trengte å distrahere trollet først.
En: But they needed to distract the troll first.

Nb: Her kommer Ingrid til å spille en viktig rolle.
En: Here, Ingrid would play an important role.

Nb: Hun kunne spille trekkspill, og trollet, fra de gamle legendene de hadde hørt, elsket trekkspillmusikk.
En: She could play the accordion, and from the old legends they had heard, trolls loved accordion music.

Nb: Ingrid tok pusten dypt og begynte å spille.
En: Ingrid took a deep breath and began to play.

Nb: Lyden av trekkspillet hennes fløt rundt, og snart, fra skogen, kom det rampete trollet, med øynene store og tynne ører rettet mot musikken.
En: The sound of her accordion floated around, and soon, from the forest, came the mischievous troll, with big eyes and thin ears focused on the music.

Nb: Ole og Lars pustet lettet ut da de så planen fungerte.
En: Ole and Lars breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the plan working.

Nb: Men det var for tidlig å feire.
En: But it was too early to celebrate.

Nb: Nå var det deres tur til å handle.
En: Now it was their turn to act.

Nb: De tok det store nettet og begynte å nærme seg trollet.
En: They took the large net and began to approach the troll.

Nb: Men det var ikke så lett som de trodde.
En: But it wasn't as easy as they thought.

Nb: Selv om trollet var distrahert, var det fortsatt veldig oppmerksom.
En: Despite being distracted, the troll was still very attentive.

Nb: De måtte være veldig veldig forsiktige.
En: They had to be very very careful.

Nb: Etter mange tøffe minutter, klarte Ole og Lars å komme tett nok på trollet.
En: After many tough minutes, Ole and Lars managed to get close enough to the troll.

Nb: Med et stort hopp kastet de nettet over trollet.
En: With a big leap, they threw the net over the troll.

Nb: Trollet ga en overraskelse lyd og begynte å kjempe, men nettet var sterkt.
En: The troll made a surprised sound and started to fight, but the net was strong.

Nb: Ingrid stoppet å spille og kom ut fra hytten.
En: Ingrid stopped playing and came out of the cabin.

Nb: "Vi gjorde det!
En: "We did it!"

Nb: " ropte hun, og alle tre søsknene danset rundt trollet.
En: she shouted, and all three siblings danced around the troll.

Nb: De løste det ut av nettet, kun etter at de hadde sikret at trollet ikke ville lage mer rot.
En: They freed it from the net, only after making sure the troll wouldn't make any more trouble.

Nb: Den dagen ble feiret som en stor seier.
En: That day was celebrated as a great victory.

Nb: Ole, Lars og Ingrid hadde fanget et rampete troll og viste mot og smart tenkning.
En: Ole, Lars, and Ingrid had caught a mischievous troll and showed bravery and clever thinking.

Nb: Fra den dagen fortalte de til alle om deres eventyr på fjellet, om det rampete trollet og hvordan de til slutt klarte å fange det.
