Nissebedstefar / Grandpa Nisse

English below

Nissebedstefar er den allerældste. Han er meget klog, for han læser bøger og aviser hele tiden. Hans hjerte er så stort, at det rummer alle de andre nisser, og det, de tænker og føler, og derfor er der ofte så meget tummel og uro indeni Nissebedstefars hovede, at han er nødt til at finde ro udenpå, og så finder han et sted hvor han kan vare lidt alene.

Nissebedstefar er gået på pension, så nu læser han endnu flere bøger – og cykler ture med de små nisser. Derfor har han altid chokolade i lommen, og et lommetørklæde, sả han kan tørre de små grat-nissers fingre.

Men lige nu har han fundet et stille hjørne i laden, hvor han kan læse avisen i fred og ro – og få en enkelt øl.

Grandpa Nisse is the oldest of them all. He is very wise, because he reads books and papers all the time. His heart is so big that it holds all the nisser, and what they think and what they feel, and that’s why there’s often so much commotion going on inside Grandpa that he has to find som peace and quiet on the outside, and then he finds a place to be by himself for a while.

Grandpa Nisse has retired, so now he reads even more books – and takes all the little nisser for bike rides. This is why he always has chocolate in his pocket, and a handkerchief, so he can clean the little, sticky Nisse-fingers.

But for now, he has found a quiet corner in the barn, to read the paper in peace and quiet – and have himself a beer!
