No: " mumlet han.
En: he mumbled.

No: Ingrid lo.
En: Ingrid laughed.

No: "Det er tanken som teller, Sindre.
En: "It's the thought that counts, Sindre.

No: Men husk, det beste er alltid å tenke på hva hun liker, ikke hva som er mest populært.

No: "Ingrid nikket, men så ham i øynene.
En: Ingrid nodded, but looked him in the eyes.

No: "Noen ganger er det verdt å investere i lykke.
En: "Sometimes it's worth investing in happiness.

No: Hvis du vet at det vil bety mye for henne, er det vel verdt det?
En: If you know it will mean a lot to her, isn't it worth it?"

En: Sindre hesitated but finally nodded.

No: "Du har rett.

No: "Og så forlot de butikken sammen, med snøen som falt stille rundt dem, og Sindre visste at han hadde funnet akkurat det riktige for sin søster.
En: And so they left the store together, with the snow falling quietly around them, and Sindre knew he had found just the right thing for his sister.

No: Han lærte at den beste gaven er en som kommer fra hjertet, og med den innsikten følte han seg litt mer selvsikker enn før.
