Story Transcript:
Hr: Usred Zadra, gdje more susreće kopno, skriven je vrt.
En: In the middle of Zadar, where the sea meets the land, a garden is hidden.
Hr: Taj vrt nije bio običan.
En: That garden was not ordinary.
Hr: Iza zidova, prepun je cvijeća koje cvjeta, uz miris mora u zraku.
En: Behind the walls, it is full of flowers blooming, with the scent of the sea in the air.
Hr: Tu su Luka i Mateja provodili mnogo vremena.
En: Luka and Mateja spent a lot of time there.
Hr: Tog proljetnog dana, dok je Uskrs bio pred vratima, Luka je otkrio nešto neobično.
En: On this spring day, as Easter was at the doorstep, Luka discovered something unusual.
Hr: Luka je bio znatiželjan.
En: Luka was curious.
Hr: Uvijek je vjerovao da njegova obitelj skriva tajnu.
En: He always believed that his family was hiding a secret.
Hr: Danas je njegovo srce bilo puno nade.
En: Today, his heart was full of hope.
Hr: Dok je kopao u vrtu, prsti su mu dodirnuli hladan metal.
En: While digging in the garden, his fingers touched cold metal.
Hr: Bila je to stara kovanica.
En: It was an old coin.
Hr: Na njoj su bili ugravirani simboli koji su mu bili poznati.
En: On it were engraved symbols that were familiar to him.
Hr: "Mateja!" povika Luka dok je prilazio prijateljici.
En: "Mateja!" Luka shouted as he approached his friend.
Hr: Mateja je odmah požurila do njega.
En: Mateja quickly rushed to him.
Hr: "Što si našao, Luka?" upitala je skeptično.
En: "What did you find, Luka?" she asked skeptically.
Hr: "Mislim da je ovo ključ tajne!" rekao je uzbuđeno.
En: "I think this is the key to the secret!" he said excitedly.
Hr: Mateja je sumnjala.
En: Mateja was doubtful.
Hr: Znala je da Luka ima tendenciju uletjeti u stvari bez previše razmišljanja.
En: She knew that Luka tended to rush into things without much thought.
Hr: "Možda ne bi trebali dirati to," rekla je oprezno.
En: "Maybe we shouldn't touch that," she said cautiously.
Hr: "Ne znamo što to znači."
En: "We don't know what it means."
Hr: Ali Luka je čvrsto vjerovao.
En: But Luka firmly believed.
Hr: "Ovo mora biti povezano s pričom mojih predaka.
En: "This must be connected to the story of my ancestors.
Hr: Obećavam ti, Mateja, netko će nam zavidjeti, ali...
En: I promise you, Mateja, someone may envy us, but...
Hr: možda riješimo dugo čuvanu tajnu."
En: maybe we'll solve a long-held secret."
Hr: Mateja je uzdahnula.
En: Mateja sighed.
Hr: Voljela ga je, a njegova odlučnost ju je podsjetila zašto su prijatelji.
En: She loved him, and his determination reminded her why they were friends.
Hr: "Dobro, pomoći ću ti, ali moramo biti oprezni."
En: "Alright, I'll help you, but we must be careful."
Hr: Zajedno su istraživali, tražili stare zapise u knjižnici.
En: Together they researched, searching for old records in the library.
Hr: Pratili su tragove kojih nisu bili ni svjesni.
En: They followed clues they weren't even aware of.
Hr: Ali nisu bili sami.
En: But they were not alone.
Hr: Netko drugi, s manje plemenitim namjerama, također je želio tu tajnu.
En: Someone else, with less noble intentions, also wanted that secret.
Hr: Jedne večeri, kada su istraživali ruinirani kloster, naišli su na čovjeka, tamne sjene prikovale su ih uz zidove.
En: One evening, while they were exploring a ruined monastery, they encountered a man, dark shadows pinned them against the walls.
Hr: "Dajte mi kovanicu," šapnuo je hladno.
En: "Give me the coin," he whispered coldly.
Hr: Luka i Mateja osjetili su strah, ali Luka je čvrsto stisnuo džep.
En: Luka and Mateja felt fear, but Luka clutched his pocket tightly.
Hr: Mateja je stala ispred njega, hrabro.
En: Mateja stood in front of him, bravely.
Hr: "Nećeš nas zaustaviti," rekla je.
En: "You won't stop us," she said.
Hr: U trenutku napetosti, Luka je razumio što je stvarno važno. Ne kovanica, već sigurnost i prijateljstvo.
En: In a moment of tension, Luka understood what was truly important. Not the coin, but safety and friendship.
Hr: Kad su im svjetla prolaznika obasjala put, uspjeli su pobjeći.
En: When the lights of passersby illuminated their path, they managed to escape.
Hr: Na sigurnom, Mateja je upitala: "Jesi li još siguran da je vrijedilo?"
En: In safety, Mateja asked, "Are you still sure it was worth it?"
Hr: Luka je pogledao kovanicu. "Nije vrijedna naših života," rekao je s olakšanjem.
En: Luka looked at the coin. "It's not worth our lives," he said with relief.
Hr: "Prijateljstvo i povjerenje su važniji. Uvijek."
En: "Friendship and trust are more important. Always."
Hr: Tog dana, Luka je naučio lekciju.
En: That day, Luka learned a lesson.
Hr: Neki misteriji bolje ostaju nerazriješeni.
En: Some mysteries are better left unsolved.
Hr: Kovanica možda nije vratila obiteljsku slavu, ali otkrila je važnost istinskog prijateljstva i mudrosti.
En: The coin may not have returned family glory, but it revealed the importance of true friendship and wisdom.
Hr: Zadar je bio tih, a more sada pjevalo okolo tajnog vrta, gdje su novi listovi krenuli rasti.
En: Zadar was quiet, and the sea now sang around the secret garden, where new leaves began to grow.
