Hr: Lišće je šuštalo pod nogama, a zrak je bio svjež.
En: Leaves crunched underfoot, and the air was fresh.
Hr: Bio je dan Velike Gospe, i Ivana je planirala pripremiti pravu gozbu za svoju obitelj.
En: It was the day of the Assumption, and Ivana planned to prepare a real feast for her family.

En: The market in Ilok was lively.
Hr: Stotine ljudi su šetale između štandova.
En: Hundreds of people wandered between the stalls.
Hr: Neki su nosili torbe pune voća i povrća, dok su drugi birali najljepše bundeve.
En: Some carried bags full of fruits and vegetables, while others picked the prettiest pumpkins.
Hr: Zrak je bio pun mirisa jabuka i svježe pečenih kolača.
En: The air was filled with the scent of apples and freshly baked cakes.
Hr: Ivana je voljela tržnicu.

Hr: Miroslav je bio s njom.
En: Miroslav was with her.
Hr: Uvijek nasmijan, spreman na šalu, bio je suprotan njoj.

En: jokingly said Miroslav, making Ivana laugh.
Hr: Ali bilo je puno posla.
En: But there was much work to do.
Hr: Tržnica je bila puna, a zalihe se brzo smanjivale.
En: The market was crowded, and supplies were dwindling fast.
Hr: Ivana se namrštila.
En: Ivana frowned.
Hr: "Daj da ti dam zadatak, Miroslave", rekla je odlučno.
En: "Let me give you a task, Miroslave," she said decisively.
Hr: "Trebao bi pronaći svježi med i ono domaće vino koje voli baka.
En: "You should find fresh honey and that homemade wine that grandma loves."
Hr: "Miroslav je kimnuo.
En: Miroslav nodded.
Hr: "Vaša želja je moj zadatak!
En: "Your wish is my command!"
Hr: " I uz osmijeh se uputio prema području s medom.
En: He headed towards the honey section with a smile.
Hr: Ivana je napokon mogla na miru birati ostale sastojke.
En: Ivana could finally choose the other ingredients in peace.
Hr: No, najvažnije su bile jabuke.
En: But the most important thing was the apples.
Hr: Planirala je napraviti bakinu poznatu pitu od jabuka.
En: She planned to make grandma's famous apple pie.
Hr: Njezine misli prekinuo je glas.
En: Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice.
Hr: Ispred nje stajala je starija gospođa, također zainteresirana za posljednji svežanj jabuka.
En: In front of her stood an older lady, also interested in the last bunch of apples.
Hr: Ivana je osjećala lagani nemir, ali netko joj je iznenada pomogao.
En: Ivana felt a slight unease, but someone unexpectedly helped her.
Hr: Bio je to Miroslav!
En: It was Miroslav!
Hr: Namjerno je zainteresirao gospođu nekom pričom o čokoladnim kuglicama.
En: He purposely entertained the lady with a story about chocolate truffles.
Hr: Ivana je iskoristila trenutak i uzela jabuke.
En: Ivana seized the moment and took the apples.
Hr: "Vidim da si uspio", rekla je zahvalno Ivana kad su se udaljili od gužve.
En: "I see you succeeded," said Ivana gratefully when they moved away from the crowd.
Hr: "Nije to ništa", rekao je Miroslav.
En: "It's nothing," said Miroslav.
Hr: "Ponekad je smijeh najbolji alat.
En: "Sometimes laughter is the best tool."
Hr: "Ivana je otišla kući s misijom.

En: Thanks to Miroslav, she learned an important lesson.
Hr: Ponekad je lakše s osmijehom i malo igre.
En: Sometimes it's easier with a smile and a bit of play.
Hr: Tako su Ivana i Miroslav napustili tržnicu u pobjedi.
En: And so, Ivana and Miroslav left the market victorious.
Hr: A Ivana je shvatila da veselje i neočekivana pomoć mogu donijeti radost čak i u najjednostavnijim zadacima.
En: And Ivana realized that joy and unexpected help can bring happiness even in the simplest tasks.
Hr: Svjetlucave boje jeseni i osmijesi obilježili su njezin povratak kući s torbama punim blaga.
En: The shimmering colors of autumn and smiles marked her return home with bags full of treasures.
