Story Transcript:
No: Det var en klar og solrik påskemorgen i den lille norske forstaden.
En: It was a clear and sunny Easter morning in the small Norwegian suburb.
No: Blomster begynte å blomstre, og trærne var dekket av små, grønne knopper.
En: Flowers began to bloom, and the trees were covered with small, green buds.
No: Barn løp rundt med kurver i hendene på jakt etter påskeegg.
En: Children ran around with baskets in their hands on the hunt for Easter eggs.
No: Blant barna var Sigrid, en nysgjerrig tiåring med en livlig fantasi.
En: Among the children was Sigrid, a curious ten-year-old with a lively imagination.
No: Hun elsket mysterier og hadde et spesielt oppdrag denne påsken; å finne det store gylne egget som var hovedpremien i nabolagets årlige eggjakt.
En: She loved mysteries and had a special mission this Easter: to find the large golden egg, the grand prize in the neighborhood's annual egg hunt.
No: Hennes bror Eirik, som var fjorten, var ved hennes side.
En: Her brother Eirik, who was fourteen, was by her side.
No: Han passet på Sigrid, men syntes ofte hun hadde ville ideer.
En: He looked after Sigrid, but often thought she had wild ideas.
No: I huset ved enden av gaten, bodde Kjell.
En: In the house at the end of the street lived Kjell.
No: Han var en stille mann som sjelden snakket med folk.
En: He was a quiet man who rarely talked to people.
No: Ryktene om ham var mange.
En: The rumors about him were many.
No: Noen sa at han holdt til seg selv fordi han hadde et viktig arbeid, andre mente han bare likte fred og ro.
En: Some said he kept to himself because he had important work, others thought he just liked peace and quiet.
No: Sigrid hadde en annen mistanke.
En: Sigrid had another suspicion.
No: Hun var overbevist om at Kjell gjemte det gylne egget.
En: She was convinced that Kjell was hiding the golden egg.
No: "Eirik, jeg tror Kjell har tatt egget!" sa Sigrid bestemt mens hun og Eirik gikk forbi hans hus.
En: "Eirik, I think Kjell has taken the egg!" said Sigrid firmly as she and Eirik walked past his house.
No: Eirik himlet med øynene.
En: Eirik rolled his eyes.
No: "Ikke vær sprø, Sigrid.
En: "Don't be silly, Sigrid.
No: Hvorfor skulle han gjøre det?"
En: Why would he do that?"
No: Men Sigrid kunne ikke forlate tanken.
En: But Sigrid couldn't let go of the thought.
No: Hun bestemte seg for å samle bevis ved å holde et nøye øye med Kjell.
En: She decided to gather evidence by keeping a close watch on Kjell.
No: Det eneste stedet hun ikke hadde søkt i eggjakten, var Kjells hage.
En: The only place she hadn't searched during the egg hunt was Kjell's garden.
No: Hun visste hva hun måtte gjøre.
En: She knew what she had to do.
No: Tidlig neste morgen, mens morgendisen fortsatt hvilte over hagene, snek Sigrid seg inn i Kjells hage.
En: Early the next morning, while the morning mist still lay over the gardens, Sigrid sneaked into Kjell's garden.
No: Hun kikket bak busker og løftet planter, men det var ingen gyllent egg.
En: She peeked behind bushes and lifted plants, but there was no golden egg.
No: Plutselig sto Kjell der, med foldede armer.
En: Suddenly, Kjell stood there with folded arms.
No: Sigrid skvatt til.
En: Sigrid jumped.
No: "Jeg... jeg leter etter noe," stam
