Solnedgangen malte himmelen i flotte farger over Bergen by.

The sunset painted the sky in beautiful colors over the city of Bergen.

Ingrid, Lars og Ole satt på en benk, rett ved havnen.

Ingrid, Lars, and Ole sat on a bench, right by the harbor.

De var gode venner.

They were good friends.

De likte å lese, le og lære nye ord sammen.

They enjoyed reading, laughing, and learning new words together.

Denne dagen hadde de et morsomt oppdrag.

On this day, they had a fun mission.

"Dere vet," sa Ingrid, "det er et norsk ord jeg sliter med."

"You know," said Ingrid, "there's a Norwegian word I struggle with."

"Hva da?" spurte Ole og Lars.

"What is it?" asked Ole and Lars.

"Skjærgård!" ropte Ingrid.

"Skjærgård!" exclaimed Ingrid.

De lo alle sammen.

They all laughed.

De visste at det ikke var lett for Ingrid å si ordet rett.

They knew it wasn't easy for Ingrid to say the word correctly.

Og det var enda morsommere da de prøvde uten å spytte på hverandre.

And it was even funnier when they tried without spitting on each other.

Lars gikk først.

Lars went first.

Han pustet dypt inn.

He took a deep breath.

"Sk... sk... skjærgård!" sa han.

"Sk... sk... skjærgård!" he said.

Alle lo.

Everyone laughed.

Og takket være vinden, spyttet han ikke på noen.

And thanks to the wind, he didn't spit on anyone.

Nå var det Ole sin tur.

Now it was Ole's turn.

Han var den modigste av dem.

He was the bravest of them.

Han sa, "Sk... sk... skjærgård!"

He said, "Sk... sk... skjærgård!"

Og da spyttet han litt.

And he spat a little.

De lo mer.

They laughed even more.

Til slutt prøvde Ingrid.

Finally, Ingrid gave it a try.

Hun rullet ordet rundt i munnen.

She rolled the word around in her mouth.

"Sk... sk... skjærgård!" Og hun klarte det!

"Sk... sk... skjærgård!" And she did it!

Uten å spytte på noen!

Without spitting on anyone!

Ole og Lars klappet for henne.

Ole and Lars applauded for her.

Det var en gøy dag i Bergen.

It was a fun day in Bergen.

De hadde ledd, lært et nytt ord og til og med klart å si det uten å spytte på hverandre.

They had laughed, learned a new word, and even managed to say it without spitting on each other.

De tre vennene så på hverandre, smilte og visste at de ville huske denne dagen lenge.

The three friends looked at each other, smiled, and knew they would remember this day for a long time.
