Det er et varmt solfylt daggry i Oslo, vår vakre hovedstad.

It is a warm sunny dawn in Oslo, our beautiful capital city.

Med et trygt smil på ansiktet smører Johan frokostblandingen sin med brunost.

With a reassuring smile on his face, Johan spreads his breakfast cereal with brown cheese.

Han kjenner en blanding av spenning og frykt.

He feels a mix of excitement and fear.

I dag skulle han forklare norsk humor til turister.

Today, he was supposed to explain Norwegian humor to tourists.

Våre hovedpersoner, Lars, Ingrid og Johan, er beste venner.

Our main characters, Lars, Ingrid, and Johan, are best friends.

Lars er alltid rolig.

Lars is always calm.

Han har tålmodig lyttet til Johan sine vitser.

He has patiently listened to Johan's jokes.

Ingrid er Johan sitt humørs barometer.

Ingrid is Johan's mood barometer.

Hennes latter er den beste belønningen Johan kunne be om.

Her laughter is the best reward Johan could ask for.

Når hun ler høyt, vet han at vitsen var god.

When she laughs loudly, he knows the joke was good.

Så, Johan, Ingrid og Lars gikk til Oslo Rådhus.

So, Johan, Ingrid, and Lars went to Oslo City Hall.

Det var der turen skulle starte.

That's where the tour was supposed to start.

Johan følte denne vibrasjonen av kjenninger i magen.

Johan felt this vibration of familiarity in his stomach.

Han begynte med en vits.

He started with a joke.

"Hvorfor tok ikke vikingene med seg kattene sine når de dra til England?

"Why didn't the Vikings bring their cats when they went to England?"

" spør Johan.

Johan asks.

Turistene ser forvirret ut, men Johan smiler.

The tourists look confused, but Johan smiles.

"Fordi de ikke ville miste dem i Greenwich!

"Because they didn't want to lose them in Greenwich!"

"Det var forventet en latterbombe, men det ble stille.

A burst of laughter was expected, but it was silent.

Ingen lo.

No one laughed.

Lars og Ingrid satt bare der og smilte.

Lars and Ingrid just sat there smiling.

Johan følte seg skamfull og sårbar.

Johan felt embarrassed and vulnerable.

Johan prøvde med en annen vits.

Johan tried another joke.

Men det samme skjedde igjen.

But the same thing happened again.

Ingen lo.

No one laughed.

Johan var opprørt.

Johan was upset.

Han kunne ikke skjønne hva som gikk galt.

He couldn't understand what went wrong.

Dagen endte.

The day ended.

Johan følte seg helt tom.

Johan felt completely empty.

Lars og Ingrid kom bort til ham og sa "Johan, ikke bekymre deg.

Lars and Ingrid approached him and said, "Johan, don't worry.

Du er morsom.

You are funny."

" Johan løftet hodet litt.

Johan lifted his head slightly.

Ingrid fortsatte "Du forklarte norsk humor veldig godt.

Ingrid continued, "You explained Norwegian humor very well.

Kanskje turen var klar over hvordan vitsene skulle være, men de skjønte det bare ikke.

Maybe the tour was expecting a different type of jokes, but they just didn't get it."

"Johan tenkte en stund.

Johan pondered for a while.

Ingrid og Lars viste ham at han ikke trengte å være morsom for alle.

Ingrid and Lars showed him that he didn't need to be funny for everyone.

Noen ganger kan det være nok å være morsom for vennene sine.

Sometimes it's enough to be funny for your friends.

Dager gikk og Johan begynte å være seg selv igjen.

Days went by, and Johan started being himself again.

Han fortsetter å fortelle vitser, men nå er det bare for seg selv, Lars og Ingrid.

He continues to tell jokes, but now it's just for himself, Lars, and Ingrid.

Og selvfølgelig, de ler mye.

And of course, they laugh a lot.

Johans jenter gikk fra å være en flopp til å være en suksess.

Johan's tour went from being a flop to a success.

Fordi suksess betyr ikke å få alle til å le, det betyr å ha det gøy med vennene dine.

Because success doesn't mean making everyone laugh, it means having fun with your friends.

Og endelig forstod Johan det.

And finally, Johan understood that.

Den norske humoren hans var morsom, kanskje ikke for alle, men morsomt for de som betyr mest for ham.

His Norwegian humor was funny, maybe not for everyone, but funny for those who matter most to him.

Og det er alt som betyr noe.

And that's all that matters.
