Men det hørtes ikke ut som "Ø".

Then he tried to say "Ø".

Et ekorn hørte ham.

A squirrel heard him.

It thought Lars was a bird.

Men det gjorde ikke Lars noe.

But Lars didn't mind.

Så prøvde Lars igjen.

Og igjen.

"Jeg trodde du fornærmet meg".

"I thought you were insulting me."

"Nei, jeg prøvde bare å lære 'Ø'," sa Lars.
