Story Transcript:

Nb: Eirik elsket fjellturer.
En: Eirik loved hiking.

Nb: Han likte spesielt de norske skogene.
En: He especially enjoyed the Norwegian forests.

Nb: De grønne trærne, de klare elvene og de syngende fuglene ga ham ro.
En: The green trees, the clear rivers, and the singing birds gave him peace.

Nb: En sommer bestemte Eirik seg for å utforske en ny sti.
En: One summer, Eirik decided to explore a new trail.

Nb: Stien var vakker, men ukjent.
En: The trail was beautiful, but unfamiliar.

Nb: Eirik gikk alene, som alltid.
En: Eirik went alone, as always.

Nb: Han startet tidlig om morgenen.
En: He started early in the morning.

Nb: Solen skinnte sterkt og fuglene kvitret.
En: The sun was shining brightly and the birds were chirping.

Nb: Eirik følte seg trygg.
En: Eirik felt safe.

Nb: Han hadde med seg kart, kompass og mat.
En: He had brought a map, a compass, and food.

Nb: Han trodde at alt skulle gå fint.
En: He thought everything would go smoothly.

Nb: Men etter noen timer begynte han å føle seg usikker.
En: But after a few hours, he started to feel uneasy.

Nb: Stien ble smalere og vanskeligere å følge.
En: The trail became narrower and harder to follow.

Nb: Trærne sto tett, og det var vanskelig å se himmelen.
En: The trees stood close together, and it was difficult to see the sky.

Nb: Plutselig innså Eirik at han ikke visste hvor han var.
En: Suddenly, Eirik realized that he didn't know where he was.

Nb: Han prøvde å bruke kartet og kompasset, men de hjalp ikke.
En: He tried to use the map and compass, but they didn't help.

Nb: Eirik dyttet bort greiner og prøvde å finne stien igjen.
En: Eirik pushed away branches and tried to find the trail again.

Nb: Men han gikk bare dypere inn i skogen.
En: But he only went deeper into the forest.

Nb: Solen begynte å synke på himmelen.
En: The sun began to sink in the sky.

Nb: Eirik kjente panikken krype oppover ryggen.
En: Eirik felt panic creeping up his spine.

Nb: Han måtte finne stien før det ble mørkt.
En: He had to find the trail before it got dark.

Nb: Skulle han presse seg gjennom den tette skogen?
En: Should he push through the dense forest?

Nb: Eller skulle han sette opp en leir og vente til morgenen?
En: Or should he set up camp and wait until morning?

Nb: Tanken på å være alene i skogen om natten skremte ham.
En: The thought of being alone in the woods at night scared him.

Nb: "Eirik, du må være rolig," sa han til seg selv.
En: "Eirik, you have to stay calm," he said to himself.

Nb: Han bestemte seg for å prøve å finne stien.
En: He decided to try to find the trail.

Nb: Han gikk raskt, men forsiktig.
En: He walked quickly, but carefully.

Nb: Plutselig hørte han en lyd bak seg.
En: Suddenly, he heard a sound behind him.

Nb: Eirik snudde seg brått.
En: Eirik turned abruptly.

Nb: I panikk begynte han å løpe.
En: In a panic, he started to run.

Nb: Følte han seg forfulgt?
En: Did he feel pursued?

Nb: Før han visste ordet av det, snublet han og falt hardt.
En: Before he knew it, he stumbled and fell hard.

Nb: Smerter skar gjennom ankelen hans.
En: Pain shot through his ankle.

Nb: Han lå på bakken og pustet tungt.
En: He lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

Nb: Hvorfor hadde han løpt?
En: Why had he run?

Nb: Nå var han skadet og fortsatt tapt.
En: Now he was injured and still lost.

Nb: Sårt reiste han seg opp.
En: Sorely, he stood up.

Nb: Han støttet seg på en stor grein og haltet videre.
En: He leaned on a large branch and limped onward.

Nb: Eirik hørte en svak klukkelyd.
En: Eirik heard a faint gurgling sound.

Nb: Var det en bekk?
En: Was it a stream?

Nb: Han fulgte lyden og fant en liten elv.
En: He followed the sound and found a small river.

Nb: Elven kunne lede ham tilbake til hovedstien.
En: The river could lead him back to the main trail.

En: Eirik followed the river.

Nb: Håpet vokste i ham.

Nb: Han kjempet mot smertene i ankelen.
En: He fought against the pain in his ankle.

Nb: Snart kunne han se noe kjent.
En: Soon, he could see something familiar.

Nb: Det var hovedstien!
En: It was the main trail!

Nb: Med de siste lysstrålene fra solen, fant Eirik veien tilbake.
En: With the last rays of sunlight, Eirik found his way back.

Nb: Eirik sank ned på stien og pustet lettet ut.
En: Eirik sank down on the trail and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nb: Han hadde lært en viktig lekse.
En: He had learned an important lesson.

Nb: Fra nå av skulle han være bedre forberedt.
