Han likte å vandre rundt i de travle gatene og besøke stedene rundt omkring. Men én dag, ble alt forandret. Han mistet veien og klarte ikke å finne veien tilbake.En: Lars was in Oslo, the largest city in Norway. He enjoyed strolling around the bustling streets and visiting the places around. But one day, everything changed. He lost his way and couldn't find his way back.Nb: Det var en solrik dag i hovedstaden. "Perfekt for en tur," tenkte Lars og gikk ut av huset sitt. Han gikk nedover de travle gatene, forbi restauranter, butikker og parker. Folk smilte og hastet forbi på vei til arbeid eller skole.En: It was a sunny day in the capital. "Perfect for a walk," thought Lars as he stepped out of his house. He walked down the busy streets, passing by restaurants, shops, and parks. People were smiling and rushing past on their way to work or school.Nb: Så snudde han inn i en sidegate, der det ikke var så mange folk. Bygningene var høye og utformingen av gatene var forvirrende. Han gikk videre innover, og før han visste ordet av det, var Lars tapt.En: Then he turned into a side street, where there weren't as many people. The buildings were tall and the layout of the streets was confusing. He walked further in, and before he knew it, Lars was lost.Nb: "Ikke noe problem, jeg skal bare spørre noen," tenkte Lars. Han så en mann som gikk forbi. Mannen så vennlig ut. Lars bestemte seg for å spørre ham om veien.En: "No problem, I'll just ask someone," thought Lars. He saw a man passing by. The man looked friendly. Lars decided to ask him for directions.Nb: "Unnskyld," sa Lars. "Jeg har gått meg vill. Kan du hjelpe meg?"En: "Excuse me," said Lars. "I've gotten lost. Can you help me?"Nb: Mannen smilte og begynte å forklare. Men for Lars var det som om han snakket et annet språk. Mannen brukte rare gatenavn. Han snakket om steder Lars aldri hadde hørt om.En: The man smiled and began to explain. But to Lars, it was as if he was speaking a different language. The man used strange street names. He talked about places Lars had never heard of.Nb: "Du må dra ned denne gaten, ta til høyre ved det gule huset, gå forbi parken og..." mannen fortsatte og forklarte, men det gjorde Lars bare mer forvirret.En: "You have to go down this street, turn right at the yellow house, pass by the park, and..." the man continued to explain, but it only made Lars more confused.Nb: Til slutt takket Lars og gikk. Men han var mer forvirret enn før. Han gikk rundt i sirkler. Huset hans var borte. Han visste ikke hvor han var.En: Finally, Lars thanked the man and walked away. But he was more confused than before. He walked in circles. His house was nowhere to be found. He didn't know where he was.Nb: Men Lars ga ikke opp. Han fortsatte å spørre folk om veien, selv om det ble mer og mer forvirrende. Etter en stund begynte han å kjenne igjen noen av gatenavnene. "Aha! Jeg husker denne gaten," tenkte Lars.En: But Lars didn't give up. He kept asking people for directions, even though it became more and more confusing. After a while, he started to recognize some of the street names. "Aha! I remember this street," thought Lars.Nb: Med et lykkelig smil, fant Lars endelig veien hjem. Han ble lettet. "Takk og lov!" tenkte han, idet han så sitt kjente hjem i distance. Fra den dagen av, passet Lars alltid på å ha et kart når han gikk ut på tur i Oslo.En: With a happy smile, Lars finally found his way home. He was...
