This pattern features a fun, typical Norwegian saying.
‘La lykken gro som gresset bak do!’
For the non-Norwegian speakers, the saying directly translates as:
‘ Let happiness grow like grass behind the toilet’
Here it makes reference to the outdoor latrines many Norwegians are still familiar with since many keep a family 'hytte' ( cabin ) in the mountains for skiing holidays, or to get away from their busy lives and enjoy the beautiful nature.

You are welcome to print it, add your favorite website link, or personalise it as needed.
If you have any comments, suggestions or would like to translate it, just contact me.
