Møte med Kevin
Kevin hoppet opp og ned i senga og hev etter pusten.
”Jeg har fått lov av mamma! Kors på halsen”, sa han, mens han stupte kråke rundt så dyna nesten datt ned på gulvet. Stian stod i døra med helt åpen munn.
Han syntes Kevin var super-heldig som fikk lov av moren sin til å stupe kråke og hoppe opp og ned i den store dobbelsenga hennes. Hva moren til Stian ville sagt hvis han gjorde det samme, turte han ikke tenke på en gang. For det ville han aldri ha gjort.
”Kom igjen da Stian!” ropte Kevin.
”Du kan ta løpefart fra den siden av rommet, og så tar jeg fra denne siden og så kan vi stupe kråke på likt”. Dobbeltsenga stod midt i rommet, og Stian stod ved døra.
På den andre siden borte ved vinduet stod Kevin klar til å ta fart og stupe. De to guttene løp bort til senga og stupte samtidig.
De krasjet nesten, men Kevin klarte å vri seg på en sånn utrolig måte at han ikke kom nær Stian.

Meeting with Kevin
Kevin was jumping up and down in the bed while reaching for his breath. “Mom said yes! Promise! Across my heart!”, he said, while he somersault, so the duvet almost fell down on the floor. Stian was standing in the door with his mouth wide open. He thought Kevin was so lucky, who was allowed by his mother to somersault and jump up and down in the big double bed of hers. What Stian’s mother would have said if he did the same thing, he would even dear to think about. Because he would never have done it anyway. “Hurry up, Stian!” Kevin shouted. “You can run from that side of the room, and I from this side, and we’ll somersault in the same time”. The double bed was standing in the middle of the room and Stian was standing by the door. On the other side by the window, Kevin was standing ready to run and dive over. The two boys ran over to the bed and dived at the same time. They almost crashed, but Kevin was able to turn himself around in an unbelievable way, so he didn’t touch Stian.
