Det var vinterfestivalen i Oslo, og Lars og Ingrid var veldig spente.

It was the winter festival in Oslo, and Lars and Ingrid were very excited.

De hadde planlagt en spesiell konkurranse som de kalte "ullsokkkasting", og de håpet på mange deltakere.

They had planned a special competition which they called the "wool sock toss", and they hoped for many participants.

Han kikket rundt seg og sa: "Dette ser moro ut!"

Lars var veldig glad for all oppmerksomheten.

Lars was very happy for all the attention.

Han ba alle om å finne en ullsokk og kaste den så langt de kunne.

He asked everyone to find a woolen sock and throw it as far as they could.

Alle var ivrige etter å delta, og snart fløy ullsokkene gjennom luften.

Everyone was eager to participate, and soon the woolen socks were flying through the air.

Men så, akkurat da Lars skulle kaste sin egen sokk, skjedde det noe uforutsett.

But then, just as Lars was about to throw his own sock, something unexpected happened.

Istedenfor å treffe bakken, traff sokken en reinsdyr som plutselig dukket opp.

Instead of hitting the ground, the sock hit a reindeer that suddenly appeared.

Reinsdyret ble skremt og sprang avgårde.

The reindeer was frightened and ran away.

Lars, Ingrid og Henrik ble forskrekket og visste ikke hva de skulle gjøre.

Lars, Ingrid and Henrik were startled and did not know what to do.

Folk begynte å snakke i munnen på hverandre og pekte mot reinsdyret.

People started talking to each other and pointed at the reindeer.

Alle lurte på om det var skadet.

Everyone wondered if it was damaged.

Uten å nøle bestemte Lars seg for å jakte på reinsdyret og sørge for at det var i orden.

Without hesitation, Lars decided to hunt the reindeer and make sure it was okay.

Ingrid og Henrik fulgte etter.

Ingrid and Henrik followed.

De løp gjennom parken og prøvde å finne reinsdyret.

Omsider fant de reinsdyret på et åpent jorde.

At last they found the reindeer in an open field.

Det sto stille og pustet tungt.

It stood still and breathed heavily.

Lars gikk forsiktig nærmere og så at reinen hadde skrubbsår på beinet.

Lars carefully went closer and saw that the reindeer had a scrape on its leg.

Lars fikk en idé.

Lars got an idea.

Han tok av seg ullsokken sin og bandt den forsiktig rundt reinens skadde bein for å gi litt støtte.

He took off his woolen sock and carefully tied it around the reindeer's injured leg to provide some support.

Ingrid fant litt vann og Henrik fant noen gressstrå som reinen kunne spise.

Ingrid found some water and Henrik found some blades of grass for the reindeer to eat.

Etter en stund begynte reinen å føle seg bedre.

After a while the reindeer started to feel better.

Den begynte å gå rundt og se ut som den gamle seg selv igjen.
