Sindre var kjent for å være rampete blant vennene sine på den store internatskolen.

Sindre was known for being mischievous among his friends at the large boarding school.

Vinteren hadde forvandlet den rolige skolegården til et perfekt sted for snøballkrig, men Sindre hadde andre planer.

Winter had transformed the calm schoolyard into a perfect place for snowball fights, but Sindre had other plans.

Han ville bygge den perfekte snømannen, inne i biblioteket.

He wanted to build the perfect snowman inside the library.

Det var en stille vinterdag.

It was a quiet winter day.

Mange av studentene hadde dratt til kantina for lunsj.

Many of the students had gone to the cafeteria for lunch.

Sindre så en mulighet.

Sindre saw an opportunity.

"Astrid, Lars," hvisket han, "vi skal lage en snømann i biblioteket!

"Astrid, Lars," he whispered, "we're going to build a snowman in the library!"

" Astrid lo.

Astrid laughed.

"Hvordan i all verden?

"How on earth?"

" spurte hun skeptisk.

she asked skeptically.

Lars smilte, alltid klar for et eventyr.

Lars smiled, always ready for an adventure.

Biblioteket var et magisk sted.

The library was a magical place.

Rader med bøker strakte seg mot taket, og det fantes et koselig lesekrok ved vinduet.

Rows of books stretched up to the ceiling, and there was a cozy reading nook by the window.

Sindre hadde lagt merke til den tigjengelige plassen.

Sindre had noticed the available space.

Planen var enkel men dristig.

The plan was simple but daring.

Under friminuttet, samlet de tre vennene snø fra skolegården i hanskene sine.

During breaktime, the three friends gathered snow from the schoolyard in their gloves.

Sindre bar en stor del av snøen til lesekroken mens Astrid og Lars passet på døren.

Sindre carried a large amount of snow to the reading nook while Astrid and Lars kept an eye on the door.

"Librarianen kommer ikke før klokken ett," forsikret Sindre.

"The librarian doesn't come until one o'clock," assured Sindre.

De satte i gang med å forme snømannen.

They began to shape the snowman.

Bøkene ble brukt til å bygge et grunnlag og hansker for å bearbeide snøen.

The books were used to build a foundation, and gloves for working the snow.

Ferdighetene til Sindre kom til nytte.

Sindre's skills came in handy.

Hans kreative tanker førte til en snømann med hatt og skjerf.

His creative thoughts led to a snowman with a hat and scarf.

"Perfekt," sa Lars imponerende.

"Perfect," said Lars, impressed.

Akkurat da de var ferdige, hørte de trinn.

Just as they were finished, they heard footsteps.

Det var bibliotekaren, og hun kom raskt mot dem.

It was the librarian, and she was quickly approaching them.

I panikk forsøkte Sindre å flytte snømannen.

In panic, Sindre tried to move the snowman.

Det var da det skjedde.

That's when it happened.

Snømannen falt i biter til gulvet.

The snowman collapsed into pieces on the floor.

Vennene stivnet til.

The friends froze.

Bibliotekaren, en eldre dame med strenge briller, stoppet opp.

The librarian, an older lady with strict glasses, stopped.

Øynene hennes smalnet og hun så på rotet.

Her eyes narrowed, and she looked at the mess.

Til deres overraskelse lo hun.

To their surprise, she laughed.

"Skal si dere har fantasi!

"You've got quite the imagination!"

" sa hun med et smil i stemningen.

she said with a smile in her voice.

"Men dette må ryddes opp.

"But this needs to be cleaned up."

"Latteren lettet nervene til Sindre, Astrid og Lars.

The laughter eased the nerves of Sindre, Astrid, and Lars.

Sammen begynte de å rydde, mens bibliotekaren passet på.

Together they began to clean, while the librarian supervised.

"Kan vi ta et bilde først?

"Can we take a picture first?"

" spurte Astrid forsiktig.

Astrid asked cautiously.

Bibliotekaren nikket, fortsatt smilende.

The librarian nodded, still smiling.

Venner samlet seg rundt restene av snømannen, tok bildet og sa "Cheese!

The friends gathered around the remains of the snowman, took the picture, and said "Cheese!"

"Da de hadde ryddet opp, visste Sindre at han hadde lært noe viktig.

After they had cleaned up, Sindre knew he had learned something important.

Noen ganger betaler det seg å følge de sprø ideene, så lenge man også tar ansvar.

Sometimes it pays to follow crazy ideas, as long as you also take responsibility.

Det var en uforglemmelig dag i biblioteket, for alle.

It was an unforgettable day in the library, for everyone.
