Nb: Guiden så på ankelen til Ingrid og tok frem bandasjer og ispose.
En: The guide looked at Ingrid's ankle and took out bandages and an ice pack.

Nb: “Dette vil hjelpe litt,” sa han rolig.

Nb: “Det viktigste er at du er trygg,” svarte han.

Nb: “Ja, vi kommer tilbake,” sa hun med et glimt i øyet.
