Ingrid og Lars pekte og lo av Ole.

Ingrid and Lars pointed and laughed at Ole.

"Hvorfor er du så redd for å isfiske?"

"Why are you so afraid of ice fishing?"

spurte de.

they asked.

"Du er en tøffing!"

"You're a tough guy!"

Ole sa ingenting, og i stedet dro han ut en imaginær fisk fra vannet.

Ole said nothing, and instead he pulled an imaginary fish out of the water.

"Se på denne fisken!"

"Look at this fish!"

sa Ole.

said Ole.

"Den er gigantisk!"

"It's gigantic!"

Ingrid og Lars lo enda mer.

Ingrid and Lars laughed even more.

"Norsk sjømonster!"

"Norwegian sea monster!"

ropte Ole.

cried Ole.

Men plutselig hørte de et stort plask i vannet.

But suddenly they heard a big splash in the water.

Noe beveget seg under isen.

Something moved under the ice.

Ingrid, Lars og Ole stirret på hverandre.

Ingrid, Lars and Ole stared at each other.

Ole hadde kanskje ikke diktet opp historien likevel.

Ole might not have made up the story after all.

"La oss ta en titt," sa Ingrid.

"Let's take a look," said Ingrid.

De gjorde et hull i isen og kikket ned.

They made a hole in the ice and looked down.

Plutselig så de et stort øye stirre tilbake på dem.

Suddenly they saw a large eye staring back at them.

Det var ekte.

It was real.

De hadde fanget en gigantisk fisk, akkurat som Ole hadde sagt.

They had caught a giant fish, just as Ole had said.

De jublet og hylte i glede.

They cheered and howled in joy.

"Norsk sjømonster er EKTE!"

"Norwegian sea monster is REAL!"

ropte Ole.

cried Ole.

De tilbrakte resten av dagen med å fiske, grille og le.

They spent the rest of the day fishing, barbecuing and laughing.

Ole var ikke lenger redd for å ta sjanser og prøve nye ting.

Ole was no longer afraid to take chances and try new things.

Han hadde vist seg selv og vennene hans at han ikke var så redd som de trodde.

He had shown himself and his friends that he wasn't as scared as they thought.

Men enda viktigere, de hadde opplevd noe magisk sammen og hadde en uforglemmelig historie å fortelle.

But more importantly, they had experienced something magical together and had an unforgettable story to tell.
