En høstdag i Frognerparken var luften kjølig og trærne dekket i vakre nyanser av oransje og gull.

Erik løp foran på stiene, full av nysgjerrighet.
Erik ran ahead on the paths, full of curiosity.
Han observerte skulpturene med store øyne, spesielt Vigelands nakne figurer som fikk ham til å fnise.

Sigrid, den yngste, trippet ved siden av Liv.
Sigrid, the youngest, skipped alongside Liv.
Hun lo når høstbladene dalte ned fra trærne og fanget dem i hånden sin.

Plutselig hørte Liv noen voksne snakke høyt i nærheten.
Suddenly, Liv heard some adults talking loudly nearby.
Ordene "nødsituasjon" og "hospitalet" nådde ørene hennes.
The words "emergency" and "hospital" reached her ears.
