No: Hva slags gave ville Ingrid like?
En: What kind of gift would Ingrid like?
No: En bok?
En: A book?
No: En vaske til plantene hennes?
En: A vase for her plants?

En: While he was looking at some jewelry in a window, he noticed something strange.
No: En mann med en stor jakke løp ut av en butikk.
En: A man in a large coat ran out of a store.
No: Han så seg nervøst omkring før han løp videre.
En: He looked around nervously before running off.

No: Hjertet hans banket raskt.
En: His heart was beating fast.
No: Han visste ikke hva han skulle gjøre.
En: He didn't know what to do.
No: Men han bestemte seg: han måtte si ifra.
En: But he decided: he had to report it.
No: Selv om han var usikker, følte han at det var riktig å være på den sikre siden.
En: Even though he was unsure, he felt it was right to be on the safe side.
No: Innenfor den travle politistasjonen i sentrum, var det et mylder av folk.
En: Inside the busy police station in the center, there was a bustle of people.
No: Telefonene ringte, og det var summende prat mellom politibetjenter.
En: Phones were ringing, and there was a buzzing conversation between police officers.
No: Med skjelvende hender nærmet Kjetil seg skranken.
En: With trembling hands, Kjetil approached the counter.
No: "Hei, jeg tror jeg så noe mistenkelig," sa han, stemmen var litt lav.
En: "Hi, I think I saw something suspicious," he said, his voice a bit low.
No: Politibetjenten, Johannes, smilte vennlig og ba ham forklare hva som skjedde.
En: The police officer, Johannes, smiled kindly and asked him to explain what happened.
No: Kjetil beskrev mannen fra den travle gaten.
En: Kjetil described the man from the busy street.
No: Johannes stilte noen få rolig spørsmål.
En: Johannes asked a few calm questions.
No: Kjetil innså gradvis at han kanskje hadde overreagert.
En: Kjetil gradually realized that he might have overreacted.
No: Kanskje hadde mannen ikke gjort noe galt i det hele tatt?
En: Perhaps the man hadn't done anything wrong at all?
No: "Det er godt at du er oppmerksom," sa Johannes beroligende.
En: "It's good that you're attentive," said Johannes reassuringly.
No: "Det er bedre å si ifra, selv når man ikke er helt sikker.
En: "It's better to report something, even when you're not entirely sure."
No: "Kjetil skjønte at han ikke hadde grunn til å være flau.
En: Kjetil understood that he had no reason to be embarrassed.
No: Han hadde gjort det rette.
En: He had done the right thing.
No: Selv om det hele kanskje var en misforståelse, fikk han en slags ro.
En: Even though it might all have been a misunderstanding, he found a sort of peace.
No: Da han gikk ut fra politistasjonen, følte Kjetil seg litt annerledes.
En: As he walked out of the police station, Kjetil felt a little different.
No: Han var mindre bekymret for å gjøre feil i sin nye tilværelse.
En: He was less worried about making mistakes in his new life.
No: Det viktigste var å ta sjanser og forsøke.
En: The important thing was to take chances and try.
No: Nå hadde han fortsatt en oppgave: finne den perfekte gaven til Ingrid.
En: Now he still had a task: to find the perfect gift for Ingrid.
No: Kjetil visste at det ville ordne seg, på en eller annen måte.
En: Kjetil knew it would work out, one way or another.
No: Med et smil ruslet han videre i solskinnet, klar til å finne den gaven som ville bringe dem nærmere.
En: With a smile, he strolled on in the sunshine, ready to find the gift that would bring them closer.
