Story Transcript:
Sl: V Tivoli Parku je dišalo po pomladi.
En: Tivoli Park was smelling like spring.
Sl: Drevesa so cvetela, ptice so pele, in sonce je svetilo nad Ljubljano.
En: The trees were blooming, the birds were singing, and the sun was shining over Ljubljana.
Sl: Mateja in Luka sta hodila s sošolci na šolski izlet.
En: Mateja and Luka were walking with their classmates on a school trip.
Sl: Učiteljica je govorila, naj se držijo glavnih poti, vendar Matejo ni zanimalo le to.
En: The teacher was saying they should stick to the main paths, but Mateja was not only interested in that.
Sl: Slišala je govorice o redkih rožah, ki se skrivajo globoko v parku, in želela jih je videti.
En: She had heard rumors about rare flowers hidden deep in the park and wanted to see them.
Sl: "Mateja, učiteljica je rekla, da se ne smemo oddaljiti," je opozoril Luka.
En: "Mateja, the teacher said we shouldn't wander off," warned Luka.
Sl: Bil je previden in vedno poslušen, a Matejo je gnala radovednost.
En: He was cautious and always obedient, but Mateja was driven by curiosity.
Sl: Videla je pot, ki se je vila med drevesi, stran od množice.
En: She saw a path winding through the trees, away from the crowd.
Sl: "Luka, prosim, pojdi z mano," je prosila.
En: "Luka, please, come with me," she pleaded.
Sl: "Obljubim, da bova nazaj pravočasno.
En: "I promise we'll be back in time."
Sl: " Luka si je oddahnil, a nato privolil.
En: Luka sighed but then agreed.
Sl: Razumel je, da Mateja ne bo odnehala.
En: He understood that Mateja wouldn't give up.
Sl: Skupaj sta se podala po ozki poti.
En: Together they set off down the narrow path.
Sl: Park je bil tih, le rahel vetrič med krošnjami in vonj po cvetju sta ju spremljala.
En: The park was quiet, with just a gentle breeze among the treetops and the scent of flowers accompanying them.
Sl: Mateja je bila navdušena.
En: Mateja was thrilled.
Sl: Luka je tiho stopal za njo, previden in pozoren na čas.
En: Luka walked quietly behind her, cautious and mindful of time.
Sl: Čez nekaj časa sta prispela do majhne jase.
En: After a while, they reached a small clearing.
Sl: Tam je bilo vse drugače.
En: Everything there was different.
Sl: Cvetlice so bile raznolike in čudovitih barv.
En: The flowers were diverse and beautifully colored.
Sl: "Tukaj so!
En: "There they are!
Sl: Redke rože!
En: The rare flowers!"
Sl: " je vzkliknila Mateja s širokim nasmehom.
En: exclaimed Mateja with a wide smile.
Sl: Občudovala je lepoto okoli sebe.
En: She admired the beauty around her.
Sl: A Luka je pogledal na uro.
En: But Luka checked the time.
Sl: "Morava nazaj," je rekel.
En: "We have to go back," he said.
Sl: "Pogrešili naju bodo.
En: "They will miss us."
Sl: "Mateja je nerada prikimala in skupaj sta pohitela nazaj po poti.
En: Mateja reluctantly nodded and together they hurried back along the path.
Sl: Ob prihodu nazaj so ravno začeli šteti glave.
En: Upon their return, they just started counting heads.
Sl: Učiteljica jih ni pogrešila.
En: The teacher hadn't missed them.
Sl: Tisti večer, pod zvezdnim nebojem, je Mateja sedela ob Luki.
En: That evening, under the starry sky, Mateja sat next to Luka.
Sl: "Hvala, ker si šel z mano," je rekla.
En: "Thank you for coming with me," she said.
Sl: "Razumem, da moraš biti previden.
En: "I understand that you need to be cautious.
Sl: Zdaj vem, da je dobro imeti ravnovesje.
En: Now I know it's good to have a balance."
Sl: ""Vem, Mateja.
En: "I know, Mateja.
Sl: Včasih pa je tudi lepo zacveteti, kot te rože," je odgovori Luka.
En: But sometimes, it's also nice to bloom, like those flowers," replied Luka.
Sl: Tako sta sklenila, da bosta prepletala njegovo previdnost z njeno radovednostjo, in vedno našla čas, da se vrneta k učiteljevim naukom.
En: So they decided to blend his caution with her curiosity, and always find time to return to the teacher's lessons.
