Góður gestur
„Kom inn."
Nei, þetta var skrýtið,
lög-reglu-þjónn.
„Hvað var hann að gera héma?"
hugsaði Árni.
„Komið þið blessuð og sæl, krakkar mínir.
Má ég koma inn til ykkar?"
„Já, gerðu svo vel.
Það er gaman að sjá þig,"
sagði kennarinn.
„Má ég tala við börnin?"
sagði lög-reglu-þjónn-inn
„Já, þó það nú væri,"
svaraði kennarinn.
Good visitor
"Come in."
No, this is a surprise,
a police man.
"What is he doing here?"
thought Ami.
Hello, children.
May I come in to see you?
"Yes, please.
We are happy to see you,"
said the teacher.
"May I speak to the children?"
said the policeman
"Yes, of course,"
said the teacher.

A Whale of a Visit
While fishing in Breiðafjörður on their six-ton motorboat “Leifur RE”,
Björn Halldórsson and his companion, had an interesting visit.
They were on their way back to shore when they spotted a beak-
whale (hrefna) right by their boat. Björn had just filleted a fish and tossed it
overboard. This brought the beak-whale closer and he swam around the boat
and dove undemeath it a few times. He then came so close that Bjöm could
pat him on the snout with a fish. This was an adult whale travelling alone, its
size about the same as the boat, or nine meters. Björn has often spotted
beak-whales before but never had one come so close and for so long. This
°ne hung around for half an hour, putting on a show similar to tame ani-
mals. Bjöm said he would roll over on his back and let himself sink under-
neath the boat. In the end Bjöm kicked an aluminum lid which made a loud
noise and then he bid good bye and left.
