In Oslo, in Gertabien,

a large castle was built.

It is the Oslo Natural History Museum,

a stone filled with the fortitude of the monastery.

It is our, and the sun is shining with joy,

through the entire windows.

The walls swim in the air

with the large structures of the historical cellars.

This is a village, a farm, and a enthusiastic palace.

The village is used to work.

It is easier to get home from work

and work hard to win the respect

of its former colleagues.

But now it is a problem.

A self-discipline has disappeared,

and the worst thing is that no one has seen it.

For Siles, it should be a part of an important challenge.

Lars feels pressure from all sides.

One of my days goes to bed

and Lars gets more and more stressed.

He talks to Ingrid, a colleague who always works for the overview.

I do not know.

Lars says that he wants to meet the scholars.

It is obvious that he is busy.

In his frustration, Lars decides

to take things in his own hands.

He decides to stay at the museum for a while.

When the museum is still, he goes through the two rooms.

He lies to echo his own writing,

but he asks the colleagues to meet

if they have seen any instructions.

One night he meets Sophia,

a man who has been waiting.

He stands beside a big and ugly place

and sees for himself.

I have found a mark on the side.

Have you seen this room before?

How the peak of a door, which is a part of the wall,

Lars and Sophia are looking for a room.

They find a gammel, a lock,

Lars feels like a banker.

They could be here for Siles,

but Sophia's help is to lock the door.

Inside the door, there are papers and papers on the door.

There is a seal box.

A mystery box with the instructions

had been sent to let it be glued.

Lars pushes it out.

He gets the keys to the room

in order to open the door.

When the door opens, he is supposed to put it down.

Lars ends up showing his value.

He smiles.

Not only is he more than now,

but he also learns how to put it down.

The sun is still shining over the floor

and the darkness of the year is still light.

The museum is looking for other people

to get out a little bit of the drama

that is being played in the gammel moon.

Lars has gotten a different feeling when he gets close

and the clouds sing a new melody

in the blomster of the trains.

Let's take another listen.

Listen closely to any parts you may have missed.

In Oslo, in the heart of the city,

stands a magnificent building.

It is the Oslo-natorist-risk museum,

a place filled with the mysteries of the past.

It is spring, and the sunlight casts a gentle glow

through the high windows.

Dust swims in the air between large exhibits

of prehistoric skeletons.

Here works Lars, a young and enthusiastic paleontologist.

Lars burns for work.

Lars is passionate about his work.

He loves to take care of his family from the early days

and works hard to win respect

for his more experienced colleagues.

He wants to uncover secrets from Earth's past

and works hard to earn respect

among his more experienced colleagues.

But now is a problem.

But now there is a problem.

A rare fossil has disappeared,

and worst of all, there are no clues.

The fossil was supposed to be part of an important exhibit.

Lars feels the pressure from all sides.

And Lars gets more and more stressed.

Afternoons pass by,

and Lars becomes more and more stressed.

He talks to Ingrid, a colleague who always seems to have an overview.

I don't know Lars, she says shrugging.

It just disappeared suddenly.

In his frustration, Lars decides to take matters

into his own hands.

He decides to stay at the museum after closing.

When the museum is quiet, he walks through the empty halls.

He listens to the echo of his own footsteps

as he asks every colleague he meets

if they have seen anything unusual.

One night he meets Sophia,

another employee who has the night shift.

She stands next to a large dinosaur skeleton looking puzzled.

I found no markly, siren.

I found something strange, she says.

Have you seen this room before?

She points to a door that seemingly is a part of the wall.

Lars and Sophia enter the room.

They find a gammel,

a loose lager door.

Lars feels his heart beat faster.

Could the fossil be here?

Sophia's help for him to stop the door.

Inni,

Inside, among cardboard boxes and dusty shelves,

lies the fossil crate.

A misforestation between the two houses

had previously allowed them to be cleaned.

A misunderstanding between employees

had led to it being forgotten there.

He gets the rare fossil in place in the exhibition,

just in time.

When the exhibition opens,

Lars has finally proved his worth.

He smiles proudly.

Not only is he more independent now,

but he has also learned the value of teamwork.

The sun still shines over Oslo,

and the scent of Spring fills the air.

From the museum Wanderer Folk,

we get to know a little bit about the drama

that is being played in the gammel moon.

Lars has received a different feeling from the audience,

and the crowd sings a new melody in the blooms of the trains.
