Skyene samlet seg over Preikestolen.

The clouds gathered over Preikestolen.

Eirik, Ingrid og Sigrid stod på toppen og så ut over lysefjorden.

Eirik, Ingrid, and Sigrid stood at the top, looking out over Lysefjorden.

De hadde gledet seg til denne turen i flere måneder.

They had been looking forward to this trip for several months.

Landskapet var vakkert, og dagen hadde startet med sol.

The landscape was beautiful, and the day had started with sunshine.

Men nå kom stormen.

But now the storm was coming.

"Vi må komme oss ned," sa Eirik.

"We need to get down," said Eirik.

Han var bekymret.

He was worried.

Vinden begynte å bli sterkere.

The wind was starting to get stronger.

Ingrid så seg rundt.

Ingrid looked around.

"Det er ingen vei ned nå.

"There's no way down now.

Vi blir nødt til å vente."

We'll have to wait."

De så ikke noen andre, bare den mørke himmelen.

They didn't see anyone else, just the dark sky.

Sigrid så på de andre.

Sigrid looked at the others.

"Vi må finne ly.

"We have to find shelter.

Det begynner å regne."

It's starting to rain."

De tre vennene gikk mot en liten fjellsprekk.

The three friends walked towards a small crevice in the rock.

De trykket seg sammen under en stein.

They huddled together under a stone.

Vinden ulte.

The wind howled.

Regnet pisket mot fjellet.

Rain lashed against the mountain.

Stormen ble verre.

The storm grew worse.

Eirik tok av seg ryggsekken.

Eirik took off his backpack.

"Jeg har litt mat og vann," sa han.

"I have some food and water," he said.

"Det må vi dele."

"We have to share it."

Ingrid nikket.

Ingrid nodded.

Hun frøs.

She was freezing.

"Vi må holde oss varme også.

"We need to stay warm, too.

Vi må være nær hverandre."

We need to be close to each other."

De krøp sammen.

They huddled together.

Vennskapet deres ble satt på prøve.

Their friendship was put to the test.

De måtte stole på hverandre for å overleve.

They had to trust each other to survive.

Sigrid så på Eirik.

Sigrid looked at Eirik.

"Hva gjør vi hvis stormen ikke slutter?"

"What do we do if the storm doesn't stop?"

Hun var redd.

She was scared.

Eirik prøvde å være rolig.

Eirik tried to stay calm.

"Vi må være tålmodige.

"We have to be patient.

Stormen vil roe seg."

The storm will calm down."

Han håpet han hadde rett.

He hoped he was right.

Natten falt på.

Night fell.

Det var mørkt og kaldt.

It was dark and cold.

Vinden hylte fortsatt, men de holdt seg varme sammen.

The wind still howled, but they kept warm together.

Ingrid fant en lommelykt i sekken sin.

Ingrid found a flashlight in her bag.

"Vi må holde motet oppe," sa hun.

"We have to keep our spirits up," she said.

Lyset fra lommelykten ga dem håp.

The light from the flashlight gave them hope.

Morgenen kom sakte.

Morning came slowly.

Stormen begynte å avta.

The storm began to subside.

De kunne se utover fjorden igjen.

They could see out over the fjord again.

Vinden var svakere, regnet stilnet.

The wind was weaker, and the rain had stopped.

Eirik stirret ut.

Eirik stared out.

"Tror dere vi kan gå ned nå?"

"Do you think we can go down now?"

spurte han forsiktig.

he asked cautiously.

Ingrid så på stien.

Ingrid looked at the trail.

"Det ser glatt ut, men vi må prøve."

"It looks slippery, but we have to try."

De hjalp hverandre opp.

They helped each other up.

Sammen begynte de å gå ned fra Preikestolen.

Together they began to descend from Preikestolen.

De beveget seg sakte og forsiktig.

They moved slowly and carefully.

Etter flere timer nådde de bunnen.

After several hours, they reached the bottom.

De var slitne, men glade.

They were exhausted, but happy.

De hadde overlevd stormen.

They had survived the storm.

De klemte hverandre.

They hugged each other.

"Vi klarte det," sa Sigrid.

"We did it," said Sigrid.

"Vi er trygge nå."

"We are safe now."

Eirik så på vennene sine.

Eirik looked at his friends.

"Vi gjorde det sammen.

"We did it together.

Vårt vennskap er vår styrke."

Our friendship is our strength."

De smilte.

They smiled.

De visste at de hadde overvunnet noe stort, både naturen og frykten.

They knew that they had overcome something great, both nature and fear.

Da de gikk tilbake til bilen, så de opp mot Preikestolen en siste gang.

As they walked back to the car, they looked up at Preikestolen one last time.

Den sto der, majestetisk og sterk, akkurat som deres vennskap etter denne utfordringen.

It stood there, majestic and strong, just like their friendship after this challenge.
