Sr: Одлучио је да настави, навлачећи јакну и чистећи земљу која је постала клизава и блатњава. En: He decided to continue, putting on a jacket and clearing the ground, which had become slippery and muddy.
Sr: Петар је са прозора бодрио тату, машући весело. En: Petar cheered on his dad from the window, waving cheerfully.
Sr: "Тата, можеш ти то! En: "Dad, you can do it!"
Sr: " довикујући је, док је Милица стегла руке и гледала са забринутошћу. En: he shouted, while Milica clasped her hands and watched with concern.

Sr: "Помоћи ћу ти, пријатељу," рекао је Мирко са осмехом. En: "I'll help you, my friend," said Mirko with a smile.

Sr: "Увек можеш рачунати на пријатеље," рекао је сону Милици и Петру док су улазили у кућу, осмехујући се и радујући се безбедном простору за игру у башти. En: "You can always count on friends," he said to Milica and Petar as they entered the house, smiling and rejoicing in the safe play space in the garden.

They finally managed to escape and get the reward.
When Kishobran was arrested, the great sun appeared on the sky, the light of the new reward was 4th and surely.
