Story Transcript:
No: Det var en kald vinterkveld på Julemarkedet i Oslo.
En: It was a cold winter evening at the Christmas market in Oslo.
No: Store, hvite snøfnugg falt stille rundt de pyntede bodene, mens lys blinket i takt med lyden av julesanger.
En: Large, white snowflakes fell quietly around the decorated stalls, while lights blinked in rhythm with the sound of Christmas songs.
No: Lukten av nyristede kastanjer fylte luften, mens folk ruslet rundt med gløgg i hånden.
En: The scent of freshly roasted chestnuts filled the air as people strolled around with gløgg in hand.
No: Midt i mylderet sto Lars, en bekymringsfull mann med kjærlighet for håndlagde gaver.
En: In the middle of the bustle stood Lars, a worried man with a love for handmade gifts.
No: Lars var sammen med sine venner, Ingrid og Magnus.
En: Lars was with his friends, Ingrid and Magnus.
No: De hadde kommet til markedet for å handle julegaver til sine kjære.
En: They had come to the market to shop for Christmas gifts for their loved ones.
No: Innsiden av Lars var som et kaotisk puslespill; ønsket om å finne spesielle gaver til familien blandet seg med det stramme budsjettet.
En: Inside Lars was like a chaotic puzzle; the desire to find special gifts for the family mingled with the tight budget.
No: Han hadde alltid trodd at gavene skulle reflektere kjærligheten han følte, men prislappene i de fleste boder var høye.
En: He had always believed that the gifts should reflect the love he felt, but the price tags in most stalls were high.
No: "Ser du noe interessant, Lars?" spurte Ingrid, mens hun holdt en liten, fin treengel.
En: "Do you see anything interesting, Lars?" asked Ingrid, while holding a small, fine wooden angel.
No: Lars ristet på hodet.
En: Lars shook his head.
No: "Det er vanskelig. Alt er så dyrt," svarte han og kikket rundt.
En: "It's difficult. Everything is so expensive," he replied, looking around.
No: Magnus nikket enig.
En: Magnus nodded in agreement.
No: "Kanskje det beste er å tenke på hva som virkelig betyr noe for dem," foreslo Magnus.
En: "Maybe it's best to think about what really matters to them," suggested Magnus.
No: Lars stoppet opp ved en sjarmerende bod fylt med håndlagde gjenstander.
En: Lars stopped at a charming stall filled with handmade items.
No: Det var håndmalte kopper, luer av ull, og små søte figurer av tre.
En: There were hand-painted mugs, woolen hats, and small cute wooden figures.
No: Han kjente håpet vokse.
En: He felt hope growing.
No: Her var både sjel og hjerte i hver gjenstand.
En: Here was both soul and heart in every item.
No: Hjertet banket roligere da han plukket opp en trefigur som lignet på hunden til sin mor.
En: His heart beat more calmly as he picked up a wooden figure that resembled his mother's dog.
No: Ved siden av fant han en vakker ullhatt som passet perfekt til faren.
En: Next to it, he found a beautiful wool hat that was perfect for his father.
No: For søsteren sin, fant han en kopp med en nydelig blomstermalt dekorasjon.
En: For his sister, he found a cup with a lovely flower-painted decoration.
No: Gjennom disse enkle gavene håpet han å gi ikke bare ting, men også visse minner.
En: Through these simple gifts, he hoped to give not just things, but also certain memories.
No: Lars følte seg lettet, for nå visst
