En Spennende Dag for Josefine

Det var en spennende dag for josefine.
En dag hun tenkte på med glede mangen gang.
Og hun så fram mot en masse nye venner og være sammen med hele dagen lang.
I hånden bar hun sin fine nye veske som skulle romme den første lesebok.
Hun kunne se seg selv sittende med lekser, for å lære seg å lese og bli klok.
Med store eine gikk hun inn gjennom porten.
Så stort et hus det hadde hun nok aldri sett.
Og der var barna som kastet ball og lekte, mens noen stilte opp i rekke og stod rett.
Det var en spennende dag for josefine, men fra sin drøm skulle hun snart vekkes opp.
Hun skulle oppleve at noe slikt som glede er en sting som kansje plutselig sier stopp.
Og våren kretset i en ring med barn rundt henne, og hun så snart at dette ikke var en lek.
Men skulle hun nå så tidlig kunne kjenne det kaller pust fra alle drømmene som sve.
Hun kunne høre de hviske til hverandre, og se de peke på hennes svarte hår.
Da følte hun at hun ikke var som andre.
En vond erfaring i hennes unge år.
Det var en spennende dag for josefine en liten pike født i et annet land.
Men hennes hud var tilfeldigvis en annen.
Er det en trussel mot alt det som går ann.
Hvem er det vel som har ønsket dette skille, og hvorfor skapes det usynlige sår.
Det var en spennende dag for josefine, den dag hun lærte seg at fremtiden blir vond.
Det var en spennende dag for josefine.

An Exciting Day for Josephine

It was an exciting day for Josephine.
A day she thought of with joy many a time.
And she looked forward to a lot of new friends and being together all day long.
In her hand she carried her lovely new bag which was to contain her first reading book.
She could see herself sitting with homework, learning to read and become wise.
With big eyes she walked through the gate.
She had never seen such a big house.
And there were children throwing balls and playing, while some lined up and stood straight.
It was an exciting day for Josephine, but from her dream she would soon be awakened.
She would experience that something like joy is a sting that might suddenly say stop.
And spring circled in a ring with children around her, and she soon saw that this was not a game.
But should she now so early be able to feel it calls breath from all the dreams that pass.
She could hear them whisper to each other, and see them point at her black hair.
Then she felt that she was not like others.
A painful experience in her young years.
It was an exciting day for Josephine, a little girl born in another country.
But her skin happened to be different.
Is it a threat to everything that is possible?
Who is it that wanted this distinction, and why are invisible wounds created?
It was an exciting day for Josephine, the day she learned that the future will be painful.
It was an exciting day for Josephine.
