No: Sindre hadde en liste.
En: Sindre had a list.

No: Han var alltid forberedt.

No: "Vi trenger bord, stoler, lys og blomster," sa han bestemt.

No: Astrid smilte.
En: Astrid smiled.

No: Hun bar en stor veske full av forskjellige ting.
En: She carried a large bag full of various things.

No: "Jeg har kunstneriske ideer," sa hun, og lo mens hun holdt opp noen blomstrende greiner.
En: "I have artistic ideas," she said, laughing as she held up some blooming branches.

No: Lars, derimot, hadde allerede oppdaget en iskremvogn og var på vei mot den.
En: Lars, on the other hand, had already spotted an ice cream cart and was heading towards it.

No: "Fokuser, Lars," ropte Sindre, og himlet med øynene.
En: "Focus, Lars," shouted Sindre, rolling his eyes.

No: Lars vinket avvisende med en vaniljeis i hånden og mumlet, "Bare ett minutt!"
En: Lars waved dismissively with a vanilla ice cream in hand and mumbled, "Just one minute!"

No: Parken var vakker.
En: The park was beautiful.

No: Grønt gress strakte seg så langt øyet kunne se.
En: Green grass stretched as far as the eye could see.

No: Skulpturene sto stolt, og lange skygger danset under dem.
En: The sculptures stood proudly, and long shadows danced under them.

No: Fugler sang, og en mild bris fikk trærne til å rasle.
En: Birds sang, and a gentle breeze made the trees rustle.

No: Astrid begynte å dekorere et hjørne med gule og blå silkebånd.
En: Astrid began decorating a corner with yellow and blue silk ribbons.

No: "Dette blir fint," sa hun.
En: "This will be nice," she said.

No: Sindre kikket skeptisk på hennes valg av farger.
En: Sindre looked skeptically at her choice of colors.

No: "Har du fulgt de anbefalte fargene til midsommer?" spurte han.
En: "Have you followed the recommended midsummer colors?" he asked.

No: Astrid trakk på skuldrene.
En: Astrid shrugged.

No: "Det er jo meningen å være glad og fargerikt, ikke perfekt," sa hun.
En: "It's supposed to be joyful and colorful, not perfect," she said.

No: Da Lars endelig kom tilbake, var han dekket i smil.
En: When Lars finally returned, he was beaming with a smile.

No: "Jeg har en idé!" sa han entusiastisk.
En: "I have an idea!" he said enthusiastically.

No: Han hadde funnet noen ekstra lys til å henge i trærne.
En: He had found some extra lights to hang in the trees.

No: Men han hadde glemt å kjøpe frukt til dessert.
En: But he had forgotten to buy fruit for dessert.

No: "Vi har en tidsplan, vet du," mumlet Sindre, men stemmen hans manglet sin vanlige fasthet.
En: "We have a schedule, you know," muttered Sindre, but his voice lacked its usual firmness.

No: Det var som om kaoset snek seg inn i hjertet hans.
En: It was as if chaos snuck into his heart.
