Story Transcript:
Sl: V jutro, ko sta se Jure in Nina peljala z dvigalom v najvišje nadstropje ljubljanskega nebotičnika, je bil zrak poln pričakovanja.
En: On the morning when Jure and Nina rode the elevator to the top floor of the ljubljanskega skyscraper, the air was full of anticipation.
Sl: Ljubljanska jesen je bila v polnem razcvetu, listje je bilo živobarvno in vonj po bučni juhi in toplem kostanju je napolnjeval ulice.
En: Ljubljanska autumn was in full bloom, the leaves were vividly colored, and the smell of pumpkin soup and roasted chestnuts filled the streets.
Sl: Bila je noč čarovnic, in nebo je bilo posuto z zvezdami.
En: It was Halloween, and the sky was scattered with stars.
Sl: Oba sta bila polna energije, predvsem Jure, ki je bil znan po svojih norčijah in ljubezni do noči čarovnic.
En: Both were full of energy, especially Jure, who was known for his antics and love for Halloween.
Sl: Imel je s seboj svojo najlepšo bučo – veliko, oranžno pošast, ki jo je želel izrezljati v najbolj smešno strašno lice.
En: He had with him his best pumpkin—a large, orange monster he wanted to carve into the funniest scary face.
Sl: Nina je bila manj navdušena nad norčijami, a se je pustila pregovoriti zaradi Juretove nalezljive energije.
En: Nina was less enthusiastic about the antics, but she let herself be persuaded by Jure's infectious energy.
Sl: Veselila se je, da bo enkrat izkusila noč čarovnic na zabavi.
En: She looked forward to experiencing Halloween at a party for once.
Sl: Ko sta pritisnila gumb za zgornje nadstropje, sta slišala tihi zamolkli zvok, ko so se vrata dvigala zaprla.
En: When they pressed the button for the top floor, they heard a soft thud as the elevator doors closed.
Sl: Dvigalo je gladko drvelo navzgor, vse dokler nenadoma ni ustavilo sredi poti med nadstropji.
En: The elevator smoothly ascended until it suddenly stopped midway between floors.
Sl: Jure je pogledal Nino in se zakrohotal: "Tole je pa prava noč čarovnic z malo drame!
En: Jure looked at Nina and burst into laughter, "This is a real Halloween with a bit of drama!"
Sl: "Ni pa bilo smešno Nini.
En: Nina didn't find it funny.
Sl: Veliko je imela raje prostorna mesta kot košare dvigal.
En: She much preferred open spaces to the confines of elevators.
Sl: "Oh, ne, zataknila sva se," je dejala z rahlim strahom v glasu.
En: "Oh no, we're stuck," she said with a slight tremor in her voice.
Sl: Jure je preveril svoj telefon.
En: Jure checked his phone.
Sl: "Ni signala," je dejal in se nasmehnil, kot bi bil to del njegovih načrtov.
En: "No signal," he said, smiling as if this was part of his plan.
Sl: "No, mogoče bi nekdo moral uporabiti tisto staro, a zagotovo uporabno telefonsko napravo tam," je Nina pokazala na rdečo škatlo na zidu.
En: "Well, maybe someone should use that old yet surely useful telephone device there," Nina pointed to the red box on the wall.
Sl: Na drugi strani je Matej, prijazni hišnik z velikimi sanjami, odgovoril z navdušenjem.
En: On the other side, Matej, the friendly caretaker with big dreams, answered eagerly.
Sl: "Pozdravljeni, tu Matej!
En: "Hello, Matej here!
Sl: Kako lahko pomagam?
En: How can I help?"
Sl: "Jure in Nina sta hitro razložila svojo težavo.
En: Jure and Nina quickly explained their predicament.
Sl: Matej je bil vzhičen: "To je priložnost, da pokažem svoje znanje o dvigalih!
En: Matej was thrilled: "This is an opportunity to show my elevator knowledge!"
Sl: "Matej je začel razlagati nekaj zelo tehničnega.
En: Matej began explaining something very technical.
Sl: Jure in Nina sta poslušala, a njuni glavi sta se kmalu počutili, kot da bi bile prepolne informacij.
En: Jure and Nina listened, but soon their heads felt as if they were filled with too much information.
Sl: Jure je poskušal slediti navodilom.
En: Jure tried to follow the instructions.
Sl: Dvigovanje v kabini, pritiskanje različnih gumbov – vse se je zdelo kot velikanska igra, ki je ni mogel zmagati.
En: Moving within the cabin, pressing different buttons—everything felt like a giant game he couldn't win.
Sl: Na koncu, veliko smeha in nekaj nespanja kasneje, je Matej rešil situacijo.
En: In the end, after much laughter and some sleeplessness later, Matej resolved the situation.
Sl: Dvigalo je zazibalo in začelo znova premikati.
En: The elevator swayed and started moving again.
Sl: Ko sta prispela do zgornjega nadstropja, sta bila Jure in Nina pokrita s koščki buče – Nino je v enem trenutku panike zgrabila njena kreativna plat in začela izrezljati svojo bučo.
En: When they arrived at the top floor, Jure and Nina were covered in pieces of pumpkin—Nina, in a moment of panic, had grabbed her creative side and started carving her pumpkin.
Sl: S svojo nepričakovano kreacijo buče, polne obližev in smešnih izrazov, sta osvojila prve nagrade na tekmovanju.
En: With their unexpected pumpkin creation, full of patches and funny expressions, they won first prize at the competition.
Sl: Ko so se ponoči luči nebotičnika ugasnile, sta Jure in Nina zapustila stavbo ne samo z nagrado, temveč tudi z novim razumevanjem vrednosti timskega dela in pustolovskega duha.
En: When the skyscraper lights went out at night, Jure and Nina left the building not just with a prize but also with a new understanding of the value of teamwork and adventure.
Sl: Vesela in zadovoljna sta se odpravila nazaj v svet, pripravljen čakati na novo pustolovščino.
En: Happy and satisfied, they set off back into the world, ready to await a new adventure.
