Hello, how are you, see you later. As language learners, we often focus on everyday communication. Still, dreaming and telling stories is also important! Below is one of the most famous eventyr<\/strong> (fairy-tales) by the Norwegian folktale collectors Asbj\u00f8rnsen og Moe<\/a> (19<\/span>th<\/span> century) \u2013 De tre bukkene<\/strong> Bruse. <\/strong>(In English it\u2019s known as Three Billy Goats Gruff!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Det var en gang tre bukker som skulle g\u00e5 til seters for \u00e5 gj\u00f8re seg fete, og alle tre \u00a0het de Bukken Bruse. P\u00e5 veien var det en bro over en foss som de skulle over, og under den broen bodde et stort, f\u00e6lt troll, med \u00f8yne som tinntallerkener og nese s\u00e5 lang som et riveskaft. <\/strong>([Very literal translation \u2013 to make every Norwegian phrase transparent<\/a>:]<\/em> Once upon a time, three billy goats were walking to a seter<\/em><\/a> to fatten themselves, and all three were called Bukken Bruse. On their way there was a bridge across a waterfall, which they had to cross, and below the bridge there lived a big, nasty troll, with eyes as pewter plates and a nose as long as a rake handle.)<\/span><\/p>\n

F\u00f8rst kom den yngste Bukken Bruse og skulle over broen. Tripp trapp, tripp trapp, sa det i broen. <\/strong>(First came the youngest Bukken Bruse and had to cross the bridge. Trip trap, trip trap, it sounded in the bridge.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“Hvem er det som tripper p\u00e5 min bro?” skrek trollet. <\/strong>(\u201dWho\u2019s tripping on my bridge?\u201d the troll yelled.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“\u00c5, det er den minste Bukken Bruse. Jeg skal til seters for \u00e5 gj\u00f8re meg fet”, sa bukken, den var s\u00e5 fin i stemmen. <\/strong>(\u201dOh, it\u2019s the smallest Bukken Bruse. I\u2019m going to the seter <\/em>to fatten myself,\u201d the billy goat said, it had such a delicate voice.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“N\u00e5 kommer jeg og tar deg”, sa trollet. <\/strong>(\u201dNow I\u2019m coming to take you,\u201d the troll said.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“\u00c5 nei, ta ikke meg, for jeg er s\u00e5 liten, jeg. Bare vent litt, s\u00e5 kommer den mellomste Bukken Bruse, han er mye st\u00f8rre.” <\/strong>(\u201dOh no, don\u2019t take me, because I\u2019m so small. Just wait a little bit, then the middle Bukken Bruse will come, he\u2019s much bigger.\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n

“Javel, s\u00e5 g\u00e5 da, ” sa trollet. <\/strong>(\u201dAll right, then walk\u201d the troll said.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Om en liten stund kom den mellomste Bukken Bruse og skulle over broen. Tripp trapp, tripp trapp, tripp trapp, sa det i broen. <\/strong>(In a small while came the middle Bukken Bruse and had to cross the bridge. Trip trap, trip trap, trip trap, it sounded in the bridge.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“Hvem er det som tripper p\u00e5 min bro?” skrek trollet. <\/strong>(\u201dWho\u2019s tripping on my bridge?\u201d the troll yelled.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“\u00c5, det er den mellomste Bukken Bruse som skal til seters for \u00e5 gj\u00f8re seg fet”, sa bukken; den var ikke s\u00e5 fin i stemmen, den. <\/strong>(\u201dOh, it\u2019s the middle Bukken Bruse who\u2019s going to the seter<\/em> to fatten himself,\u201d the billy goat said; its voice wasn\u2019t quite so delicate.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“N\u00e5 kommer jeg og tar deg”, sa trollet. <\/strong>(\u201dNow I\u2019m coming to take you,\u201d the troll said.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“\u00c5 nei, ta ikke meg. Bare vent litt, s\u00e5 kommer den store Bukken Bruse, han er mye, mye st\u00f8rre.” <\/strong>(\u201dOh no, don\u2019t take me. Just wait a little bit, then the big Bukken Bruse will come, he\u2019s much, much bigger.\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n

“Javel, s\u00e5 g\u00e5 da”, sa trollet. <\/strong>(\u201dAll right, then walk\u201d the troll said.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Det gikk en stund, og s\u00e5 kom den store Bukken Bruse. <\/strong><\/span>Tripp trapp, tripp trapp, tripp trapp, sa det i broen; den var s\u00e5 tung at broen b\u00e5de knaket og braket under den! <\/strong>(A while passed, and then came the big Bukken Bruse. Trip trap, trip trap, trip trap, it sounded in the bridge; it was so heavy that the bridge was creaking and clattering below it!)<\/span><\/p>\n

“Hvem er det som tramper p\u00e5 min bro?” skrek trollet. <\/strong>(\u201dWho\u2019s stamping on my bridge?\u201d the troll yelled.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“Det er den store Bukken Bruse”, sa bukken, den var s\u00e5 grov i stemmen. <\/strong>(\u201dIt\u2019s the big Bukken Bruse,\u201d the billy goat said, it had such a gruff voice.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“N\u00e5 kommer jeg og tar deg”, skrek trollet. <\/strong>(\u201dNow I\u2019m coming to take you,\u201d the troll yelled.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“Ja, kom du! Jeg har to horn som spyd, med dem skal jeg stikke ut \u00f8ynene dine! Jeg har to store kampesteiner, med dem skal jeg knuse b\u00e5de marg og ben!” sa bukken. <\/strong>(\u201dYes, just you come! I\u2019ve got two horns as spears, with them I\u2019ll gouge your eyes out! I\u2019ve got two big boulders, with them I\u2019ll crush both your marrow and your bones!\u201d the billy goat said.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Og s\u00e5 sprang den p\u00e5 trollet og stakk ut \u00f8ynene p\u00e5 ham, slo i stykker b\u00e5de marg og ben, og stanget ham utfor fossen. S\u00e5 gikk den til seters. <\/strong>(And then it jumped onto the troll and gouged out his eyes, broke his marrow and bones, and butted him out in the waterfall. Then it went to the seter<\/em>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Der ble bukkene s\u00e5 fete, s\u00e5 fete at de nesten ikke orket \u00e5 g\u00e5 hjem igjen, og er ikke fettet g\u00e5tt av dem, s\u00e5 er de det enn\u00e5. <\/strong>(There the billy goats became so fat, so fat that they almost didn\u2019t bother to walk back home, and if the fat hasn\u2019t left them, then they\u2019re still like that.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Og snipp snapp snute, s\u00e5 er det eventyret ute. <\/strong>(And snipp snapp snute<\/em>, now the fairytale is out\/finished.)<\/span><\/p>\n
