Story Transcript:

No: Under den klare sommerhimmelen i Oslo, var Vigelandsparken full av liv.
En: Under the clear summer sky in Oslo, Vigelandsparken was full of life.

No: Barn lo, par ruslet hånd i hånd, og en duft av nylig klippet gress lå i luften.
En: Children laughed, couples strolled hand in hand, and a scent of freshly cut grass lingered in the air.

No: Lars stod ved den store fontenen med rynkete panne.
En: Lars stood by the large fountain with a furrowed brow.

No: Han så bortover de bugnende stiene med en tung følelse i magen.
En: He looked down the bustling paths with a heavy feeling in his stomach.

No: "Ingrid, vi må finne den," sa Lars.
En: "Ingrid, we have to find it," said Lars.

No: Ingrid, hans kvikke lillesøster, nikket forståelsesfullt.
En: Ingrid, his quick-witted little sister, nodded understandingly.

No: "Jeg vet det, Lars. Vi vil finne bestemors brosje."
En: "I know, Lars. We will find grandma's brooch."

No: Mikkel, deres venn som aldri var redd for et eventyr, kom løpende.
En: Mikkel, their friend who was never afraid of an adventure, came running.

No: "Hva om vi leter ved det stedet hvor vi hadde piknik på syttende mai?" foreslo han.
En: "What if we search at the place where we had a picnic on syttende mai?" he suggested.

No: Lars sukket tungt mens han prøvde å huske.
En: Lars sighed heavily as he tried to remember.

No: Men tankene hans var tåkete, og angsten ulmet under overflaten.
En: But his thoughts were foggy, and anxiety simmered below the surface.

No: "Vi kan begynne der," sa Ingrid.
En: "We can start there," said Ingrid.

No: "Men la oss undersøke metodisk.
En: "But let's search methodically.

No: Vi kan dele oss opp og gå langs hver sti vi var på."
En: We can split up and go along every path we were on."

No: Lars, som alltid hadde satt en slik stor verdi på familiens historie, kunne ikke takle tanken på å skuffe bestemoren – selv nå, etter at hun var gått bort.
En: Lars, who had always placed such great value on the family's history, could not bear the thought of disappointing their grandmother—even now, after she had passed away.

No: De begynte å gå i det høye gresset der de hadde lekt, med solen som glinset i håret deres.
En: They began walking in the tall grass where they had played, with the sun glinting in their hair.

No: Lars følte at hver meter uten suksess presset tyngre på skuldrene hans.
En: Lars felt that every meter without success weighed heavier on his shoulders.

No: Etter flere timer med søk, med den svinnende solen, sa Lars plutselig; "Kanskje vi bare bør gi opp."
En: After several hours of searching, with the waning sun, Lars suddenly said, "Maybe we should just give up."

No: Sakte, sank han ned på en benk, med hodet hvilende i hendene.
En: Slowly, he sank down onto a bench, with his head resting in his hands.

No: "Ingrid, vi har sjekket alt," sa han trett.
En: "Ingrid, we've checked everything," he said wearily.

No: Men like før håpet svant, lyttet han til Mikkels stemme, fylt med ny idé og håp.
En: But just before hope faded, he listened to Mikkel's voice, filled with new ideas and hope.

No: "Minner du deg om den høyden der vi så på dansen på nasjonaldagen?" Lars løftet hodet.
En: "Do you remember the hill where we watched the dance on the national day?" Lars lifted his head.
