Nb: Lars sto midt i en levende kaskade av høstfarger.

Nb: Trærne var kledd i gull, rødt og oransje.

Nb: Kanskje en unik stein eller en sjelden plante.

Nb: foreslo han.
En: he suggested.

Nb: Ingrid så på ham med et nysgjerrig blikk.
En: Ingrid looked at him with a curious expression.

Nb: "Er du sikker?"

Nb: spurte hun.
En: she asked.

Nb: Lars nikket, selv om hjertet hans banket raskt.
En: Lars nodded, even though his heart was pounding.

Nb: De forlot stien, og snart ble lyden av de andre elevene borte.
En: They left the path, and soon the sound of the other students faded away.

Nb: Skogen lukket seg rundt dem, og de ble omfavnet av stillheten.
En: The forest closed in around them, and they were enveloped by silence.

Nb: Sollyset trengte så vidt gjennom bladverket, og skapte mystiske mønstre på bakken.
En: The sunlight barely penetrated the foliage, creating mysterious patterns on the ground.

Nb: Etter en stund begynte Lars å føle seg usikker.
En: After a while, Lars began to feel uncertain.

Nb: Han visste ikke om de skulle snu eller gå videre.
En: He didn't know whether they should turn back or continue forward.

Nb: Frykten for å feile foran Ingrid snek seg inn.
En: The fear of failing in front of Ingrid crept in.

Nb: Men akkurat da så Ingrid noe.
En: But just then, Ingrid saw something.

Nb: "Se her," ropte hun, og pekte lenger fremme.
En: "Look here," she shouted, pointing further ahead.

Nb: Lars fulgte blikket hennes og så en liten lysning.
En: Lars followed her gaze and saw a small clearing.

Nb: I lysningen var det gamle steiner dekket med merkelige utskjæringer.
En: In the clearing were old stones covered with strange carvings.

Nb: "Hva tror du dette er?"
En: "What do you think this is?"

Nb: spurte Ingrid, med undring.
En: Ingrid asked, with wonder.

Nb: Lars følte et sug av spenning.
En: Lars felt a surge of excitement.

Nb: Kanskje dette var det spesielle funnet han hadde håpet på.

Nb: Men så innså de at de måtte komme seg tilbake.

Nb: Skogen var forrædersk, men heldigvis hadde Ingrid en god stedsans.
En: The forest was treacherous, but luckily, Ingrid had a good sense of direction.

Nb: Hun ledet dem trygt tilbake til stien.
