Nb: Da han kastet snøret sitt i vannet, skjedde det.
En: When he threw his line into the water, it happened.

Nb: Isen brøt sammen under Lars sine føtter, og han sklei uti vannet med et hyl.
En: The ice broke under Lars's feet, and he slid into the water with a howl.

Nb: Ingrid brast ut i latter ved synet av Lars som satt der og sprutet vann.
En: Ingrid burst out laughing at the sight of Lars sitting there splashing water.

Nb: Ingrid hjalp Lars opp fra vannet, mens hun lo så tårene trillet.
En: Ingrid helped Lars up from the water, while she laughed so that the tears rolled down.

Nb: Lars var flau, men han klarte å le sammen med henne.

Nb: De gikk for å varme seg inne i hytten og tørke klærne hans.
En: They went to warm themselves inside the cabin and dry his clothes.

Nb: Mens de satt ved peisen og drakk varm kakao, begynte Ingrid å forstå hvor modig og morsom Lars var.

Nb: Hun innså at hun likte ham enda mer på grunn av uhellet på isen.

Nb: Lars pekte på stedet hvor han hadde falt gjennom isen og sa: "Det var her det hele begynte, ikke sant?"
