Vigeland Park lå vakkert under et teppe av nyfallen snø.

Vigeland Park lay beautifully under a blanket of newly fallen snow.

Statuer skimtet frem her og der, dekket i hvitt, og himmelen var tung av grå skyer.

Statues peeked out here and there, covered in white, and the sky was heavy with gray clouds.

Det var en stille vintermorgen, men noe merkelig var i ferd med å bryte roen.

It was a quiet winter morning, but something strange was about to disturb the peace.

Ole, en livlig og stolt guide, ledet en gruppe besøkende gjennom parken.

Ole, a lively and proud guide, was leading a group of visitors through the park.

Han elsket jobben sin og hadde et skjult ønske om å imponere Kari, en av de nysgjerrige turistene.

He loved his job and had a hidden desire to impress Kari, one of the curious tourists.

Kari hadde reist langveisfra.

Kari had traveled from far away.

Hun hadde håpet på å oppleve noe spesielt, noe ekstraordinært.

She had hoped to experience something special, something extraordinary.

Plutselig var det et oppstyr blant besøkende like foran dem.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the visitors right in front of them.

Ole tok et dypere blikk og så hva som forårsaket uro: En elg lå komfortabelt på en parkbenk.

Ole took a closer look and saw what was causing the disturbance: A moose lay comfortably on a park bench.

Den så ut som om den eide stedet.

It looked as if it owned the place.

Folk mumlet og pekte, noen lo nervøst, andre rygget vekk.

People murmured and pointed, some laughed nervously, others backed away.

Ole visste han måtte handle.

Ole knew he had to act.

Rolig skulle han ta kontroll og redde situasjonen, men inni seg følte han panikken stige.

Calmly, he was supposed to take control and save the situation, but inside, he felt the panic rising.

Dette var ikke slik en vellykket tur skulle se ut.

This was not how a successful tour was supposed to look.

"Dette er faktisk veldig sjeldent, folkens.

"This is actually very rare, folks.

En fin mulighet til å oppleve natur på nært hold!

A great opportunity to experience nature up close!"

" startet han, med en stemme som var høyere enn vanlig.

he began, with a voice that was louder than usual.

Han begynt å lede gruppen langs en tryggere vei, bort fra elgen.

He started to lead the group along a safer path, away from the moose.

Ole snakket uten stopp, prøvde å distrahere dem med interessante fakta om skulpturene.

Ole talked non-stop, trying to distract them with interesting facts about the sculptures.

Men så reiste elgen seg.

But then the moose got up.

Den begynte å rusle mot dem, og panikken blant turistene voks.

It began to amble toward them, and the panic among the tourists grew.

Ole kunne se hvordan noen allerede snudde seg for å løpe vekk.

Ole could see how some were already turning to run away.

Hjertet hans slo raskt.

His heart was beating fast.

Heldigvis dukket Sindre, parkens gartner, opp med en pose gulrøtter.

Luckily, Sindre, the park's gardener, appeared with a bag of carrots.

Han hadde alltid en nært forhold til dyrene i parken.

He always had a close relationship with the animals in the park.

Med en rolig stemme begynte han å prate med elgen og viftet med en gulrot.

With a calm voice, he began talking to the moose and waved a carrot.

Elgen snuste, tvilte et øyeblikk, men bestemte seg så for å følge Sindre istedenfor.

The moose sniffed, hesitated for a moment, but then decided to follow Sindre instead.

Roen kom sakte tilbake.

Calm returned slowly.

Ole pustet lettet ut, og Kari, med et glimt i øyet, berømmet hele episoden som "utrolig spennende.

Ole breathed a sigh of relief, and Kari, with a twinkle in her eye, praised the whole episode as "incredibly exciting."

" Hun så ut til å ha elsket adrenalinet.

She seemed to have loved the adrenaline.

Ole skjønte at han kanskje ikke trengte å strebe etter det perfekte.

Ole realized that he might not need to strive for perfection.

Noen ganger kan det uventede også være en god historie å fortelle.

Sometimes the unexpected can also be a good story to tell.

Han smilte til Kari, litt rødmusset ennå, men med ny lærdom i hjertet.

He smiled at Kari, still a bit flushed, but with new learning in his heart.

Det var en dag ingen av dem ville glemme.

It was a day neither of them would forget.
