No: Vigelandsparken i Oslo var et vakkert syn i slutten av høsten.

No: "Ja, jeg bare tenker," svarte Sigrid, mens hun så på en statue av to barn som lekte.

No: Klassen samlet seg rundt Monolitten, den store søylen av skulpturer som stolt sto i parken.
En: The class gathered around the Monolitten, the large column of sculptures that proudly stood in the park.

En: It was a jumble of human bodies climbing towards the sky.
No: Sigrid følte en sterk trang til å dele det hun følte om kunstverket.
En: Sigrid felt a strong urge to share what she felt about the artwork.
No: Mens læreren snakket, kikket Sigrid ned på sine egne føtter.
En: While the teacher spoke, Sigrid looked down at her own feet.
No: Hun følte seg nervøs, men kjente at hun måtte si noe.

No: Forsiktig tok hun et skritt frem.

No: Alle snudde seg mot Sigrid.
En: Everyone turned towards Sigrid.
No: Ida smilte, og Lars ga henne et lite nikk.
En: Ida smiled, and Lars gave her a little nod.
No: "Jeg tror Monolitten viser hvordan vi mennesker alltid strekker oss etter noe.

No: Kanskje noe større enn oss selv?
En: Maybe something bigger than ourselves?"
No: " forklarte Sigrid.
En: Sigrid explained.
No: "Det er som om vi er alle sammenkoblet i vår søken etter mening.
En: "It's as if we are all interconnected in our search for meaning."
