Nb: “Jeg så noen som passet beskrivelsen.
En: "I saw someone matching that description.

Nb: Hun gikk mot bryggen,” svarte han.

Nb: ” ropte Magnus lettet og løp mot henne.
En: Magnus shouted with relief and ran towards her.

Nb: “Du skremte oss alle,” sa han mens han klemte henne.
En: "You scared us all," he said as he hugged her.

Nb: “Jeg ville bare se båtene,” svarte Sigrid uskyldig.
En: "I just wanted to see the boats," Sigrid replied innocently.

Nb: Eirik kom løpende, lettelse malte ansiktet hans.
En: Eirik came running, relief painted on his face.

Nb: “Sigrid!
En: "Sigrid!"

Nb: ” ropte han, “Du må ikke løpe bort slik.
En: he shouted, "You mustn't run off like that."

Nb: ” Magnus så på faren sin og følte seg skyldig.
En: Magnus looked at his father and felt guilty.

Nb: “Det var min feil, pappa.
En: "It was my fault, Dad.

En: I should have watched her better."

Nb: ”Eirik så på sønnen sin og følte en ny forståelse.
En: Eirik looked at his son with newfound understanding.

Nb: “Nei, Magnus.
En: "No, Magnus.

Nb: Du gjorde en god jobb.
En: You did a good job.

Nb: Jeg burde ha stolt på instinktene dine.
En: I should have trusted your instincts.

Nb: Vi er ett team.
En: We are a team."
