En: On a sunny afternoon in October, the leaves quietly fell from the trees around the boarding school. No: Bygningen var gammel, med høye tak og lange korridorer som hvisket om gamle historier. En: The building was old, with high ceilings and long corridors that whispered of old stories. No: I denne settingen var Knut i sitt rette element, alltid klar for en ny spøk. En: In this setting, Knut was in his element, always ready for a new prank. No: Knut, med sitt slyngelaktige smil, hadde en plan. En: Knut, with his mischievous smile, had a plan. No: Det var tid for gjemsel, og han skulle finne den beste plassen å gjemme seg på, mens han lurte Astrid, hans favoritt rival. En: It was time for hide and seek, and he would find the best spot to hide, while tricking Astrid, his favorite rival. No: Hun var like utspekulert som ham, og det gjorde spillet enda mer spennende. En: She was as cunning as he was, which made the game even more exciting. No: "Jeg kommer til å gjemme meg et sted ingen vil finne meg," hvisket Knut til seg selv. En: "I’m going to hide somewhere no one will find me," Knut whispered to himself. No: Da de andre begynte å telle, snek han seg nedover en korridor. En: As the others began to count, he sneaked down a corridor. No: Han åpnet døren til vaktmesterens skap, et lite, klaustrofobisk rom fylt med rengjøringsutstyr og lukten av klor. En: He opened the door to the janitor’s closet, a small, claustrophobic room filled with cleaning supplies and the smell of chlorine. No: "Perfekt," tenkte han. En: "Perfect," he thought. No: Knut satte seg inn i skapet, nesten kvelende på grunn av den sterke lukten. En: Knut squeezed himself into the closet, almost suffocating from the strong smell. No: Han lukket døren, helt uvitende om at den ville låse seg automatisk. En: He closed the door, completely unaware that it would lock automatically. No: Han ventet spent på å høre Astrid rope: "Jeg gir opp, hvor er du? En: He waited eagerly to hear Astrid shout: "I give up, where are you?" No: "Men tiden gikk og ingen kom. En: But time passed and no one came. No: Stillheten ble for urovekkende, og Knut innså sin feil. En: The silence became too unsettling, and Knut realized his mistake. No: Han var fanget. En: He was trapped. No: Han vurderte kort å vente, men så sa magen hans noe annet. En: He briefly considered waiting, but then his stomach said otherwise. No: "Jeg må ut herfra," sa han bestemt. En: "I need to get out of here," he said determinedly. No: Han dunket på døren og ropte, men lyden forsvant i de tykke veggene. En: He knocked on the door and shouted, but the sound disappeared into the thick walls. No: Knut så seg omkring i det trange rommet. En: Knut looked around in the cramped room. No: Blikket hans falt på et gammelt kosteskaft. En: His gaze fell on an old broom handle. No: Kanskje han kunne bruke det! En: Maybe he could use it! No: Han strekte seg etter det, presset det gjennom sprekken i døren, og prøvde å nå dørhåndtaket på utsiden. En: He reached for it, pressed it through the crack in the door, and tried to reach the doorknob on the outside. No: Etter flere forsøk klarte han det. En: After several attempts, he managed it. No: Døren gled opp med et knirk akkurat da Astrid og Ola gikk forbi. En: The door creaked open just as Astrid and Ola walked by. No: "Der er du, Knut! En: "There you are, Knut!" No: " utbrøt Astrid, i det de lo av hans uflidde utseende. En: exclaimed Astrid, as they laughed at his disheveled appearance. No: Ola så på Klokken. En: Ola looked at his watch. No: "Vi har begynt en ny lek. En: "We've started a new game. No: Vil du bli med? En: Want to join?" No: " Knut lo med dem, lettet over å være fri. En: Knut laughed with them, relieved to be free. No: "Selvfølgelig," svarte han, klar for å bli med. En: "Of course," he replied, ready to join in. No: Mens de løp tilbake til skolen, tenkte Knut over hele situasjonen. En: As they ran back to the school, Knut thought over the whole situation. No: Kanskje det var best å være litt mer forsiktig neste gang han forsøkte en spøk. En: Maybe it was best to be a bit more careful the next time he attempted a prank. No: Spillene var morsomme, men friheten var enda bedre. En: The games were fun, but freedom was even better.
