I Oslo, på en hvitkledd vinterdag, vandret Lars og Ingrid.

In Oslo, on a white winter day, Lars and Ingrid were walking.

De var gode venner.

They were good friends.

De elsket eventyr.

They loved adventures.

I dag ville de prøve noe nytt.

Today they wanted to try something new.

Målet var å stå på ski.

The goal was to go skiing.

Lars og Ingrid gikk til Frognerparken.

Lars and Ingrid went to Frogner Park.

Der så de mange på ski.

There, they saw many people skiing.

Noen var store, noen var små.

Some were big, some were small.

Noen falt, mens andre sto støtt.

Some fell, while others stood steady.

De smilte.

They smiled.

Ski kunne ikke være så vanskelig.

Skiing couldn't be that difficult.

Hos en utleiebod fant de ski.

At a rental booth, they found skis.

De så rare ut, men spennende.

They looked strange, but exciting.

Lars tok på seg sine først.

Lars put his on first.

De føltes rart på føttene.

They felt weird on his feet.

Men han gikk litt, og fikk det til.

But he walked a bit and got the hang of it.

Ingrid fulgte etter.

Ingrid followed.

De lo mye i det fine vinterværet.

They laughed a lot in the beautiful winter weather.

De begynte på den første bakken.

They started on the first slope.

Den var ikke stor, men Lars var nervøs.

It wasn't big, but Lars was nervous.

Han hadde ikke prøvd dette før.

He hadn't tried this before.

Men han tok sats og skled ned.

But he gathered courage and slid down.

Han var rask!

He was fast!

Han var ikke forberedt på det.

He wasn't prepared for it.

Han prøvde å svinge, men gikk rett i en snøfonn!

He tried to turn, but went straight into a snowdrift!

Ansiktet hans ble fullt av snø.

His face was covered in snow.

Ingrid lo høyt og hjalp ham opp.

Ingrid laughed loudly and helped him up.

Lars ristet av seg snøen.

Lars shook off the snow.

Han lo også, selv om han var litt flau.

He laughed too, even though he was a bit embarrassed.

Han sa, "Det var gøy!

He said, "That was fun!"

" Ingrid prøvde bakken neste.

Ingrid tried the slope next.

Hun var litt bedre, men hun falt også.

She was a bit better, but she also fell.

Hun landet mykt i snøen.

She landed softly in the snow.

De lo begge.

They both laughed.

Så prøvde de igjen og igjen.

So they tried again and again.

De falt mye, men det gjorde ikke vondt.

They fell a lot, but it didn't hurt.

Snøen var myk og kald.

The snow was soft and cold.

De lærte litt om hvordan de kunne svinge.

They learned a bit about how to turn.

På slutten av dagen, var de utslitt.

By the end of the day, they were exhausted.

De dro til en liten kafé i nærheten.

They went to a small café nearby.

De drakk varm kakao og snakket om dagen.

They drank hot cocoa and talked about the day.

De var enige om at det å stå på ski var morsomt, selv om det var vanskelig.

They agreed that skiing was fun, even though it was challenging.

Lars og Ingrid hadde lært noe nytt den dagen.

Lars and Ingrid had learned something new that day.

De hadde hatt det moro sammen.

They had fun together.

De var glade for at de hadde prøvd noe nytt, selv om de falt mange ganger.

They were happy they had tried something new, even though they fell many times.

De gledet seg til å prøve igjen.

They looked forward to trying again.

Denne dagen i Oslo, der snøen falt, ble de to vennene litt nærmere hverandre.

On that day in Oslo, where the snow fell, the two friends became a little closer.

De smilte da de tenkte på skiene.

They smiled as they thought about the skis.

De visste begge at de ville prøve det igjen.

They both knew they would try it again.
