Story Transcript:

Sl: Tanja je stala na robu poljskega bolnišničnega tabora, kjer so se jesenski listi nežno vrtinčili po zraku.
En: Tanja stood at the edge of the field hospital camp, where autumn leaves gently swirled through the air.

Sl: Počutila se je vznemirjeno in pripravljena na šolski izlet, ki ga je nestrpno pričakovala.
En: She felt excited and ready for the school trip she had eagerly anticipated.

Sl: Vse je kazalo na običajen dan, dokler se ni zgodilo neizogibno.
En: Everything pointed to an ordinary day until the inevitable happened.

Sl: Nejc, z njegovim odločnim korakom, je štel vse svoje sošolce.
En: Nejc, with his determined step, was counting all his classmates.

Sl: Matej je bil, kot vedno, nekoliko stran, raziskoval manj opazne dele tabora.
En: Matej was, as always, somewhat apart, exploring the less noticeable parts of the camp.

Sl: "Vsi vaši?
En: "All yours?"

Sl: " je veselo vprašal Matej Najca.
En: Matej cheerfully asked Nejc.

Sl: "Seveda.
En: "Of course.

Sl: Moramo biti previdni," je odgovoril Nejc in pokimal Tanji, ki je skrila občutek dvoma v sebi.
En: We have to be careful," replied Nejc, nodding to Tanja, who hid a feeling of doubt within herself.

Sl: Nato se je zgodilo.
En: Then it happened.

Sl: Glasen krik je prerezal zrak.
En: A loud cry cut through the air.

Sl: Na enem od pohodniških poti se je eden od učencev, Petra, spotaknil in padel.
En: On one of the hiking paths, one of the students, Petra, tripped and fell.

Sl: Vse se je hitro pomešalo v kaos.
En: Everything quickly descended into chaos.

Sl: Tanja je videla Paniko na obrazu svojih sošolcev.
En: Tanja saw panic on her classmates' faces.

Sl: "Moram pomagati," je pomislila.
En: "I must help," she thought.

Sl: Njeno srce je bilo težko, vendar je vedela, da je to njena priložnost.
En: Her heart was heavy, but she knew this was her chance.

Sl: "Pojdimo!
En: "Let's go!

Sl: Pomagajmo Petri!
En: Let's help Petra!"

Sl: " je klicala glasneje kot je kdaj prej govorila v življenju.
En: she called out louder than she had ever spoken in her life.

Sl: Njeni prijatelji so jo gledali z dvigom obrvi, a sledili njenim ukazom.
En: Her friends looked at her with raised eyebrows but followed her commands.

Sl: Vodila je Nejca in Mateja k Petri.
En: She led Nejc and Matej to Petra.

Sl: "Dobro, Nejc, preveri preostale.
En: "Okay, Nejc, check on the others.

Sl: Matej, prinesi vodo," je hitro razdelila zadolžitve.
En: Matej, bring water," she quickly assigned tasks.

Sl: V srcu je čutila strah, a tudi nenavadno samozavest.
En: In her heart, she felt fear, but also an unusual confidence.

Sl: Petra je bila prestrašena in sovražna, a Tanja jo je pomirila in ugotovila, da gre le za zvin.
En: Petra was frightened and upset, but Tanja calmed her and found it was just a sprain.

Sl: Svetlo oranžno neumno odejo jesenskih listov je segla do njihovih nog, ko so se vračali v tabor, z Nejcovo ekipo na čelu.
En: The bright orange silly blanket of autumn leaves reached their feet as they returned to the camp, with Nejc's team in the lead.

Sl: Matej je še vedno pripovedoval zgodbe o svojih avanturah, medtem ko se je Petra z nasmehom naslonila na Tanjino ramo.
En: Matej was still recounting stories of his adventures while Petra, with a smile, leaned on Tanja's shoulder.

Sl: Dan se je bližal koncu, in ko je sonce zašlo za horizont, so vsi vedeli, da se je Tanja dokazala.
En: The day was nearing its end, and as the sun set behind the horizon, everyone knew that Tanja had proven herself.

Sl: Končno se je počutila sprejeto in spoštovano s strani svojih sošolcev.
En: She finally felt accepted and respected by her classmates.

Sl: Njeni dvomi so se počasi razblinili kakor listi, ki so odplavali po vetru.
En: Her doubts slowly dissipated like leaves floating away in the wind.

Sl: Tiho je stala ob robu tabora, tokrat z dvignjeno glavo.
En: She quietly stood at the edge of the camp, this time with her head held high.

Sl: Spoznala je, da ima moč pomagati drugim, in da je sposobna voditi.
En: She realized that she had the power to help others and that she was capable of leading.

Sl: Vsi so se vrnili varno, in Tanji je bilo jasno, da ni le učenka, temveč tudi vodja.
En: Everyone returned safely, and it was clear to Tanja that she was not just a student but also a leader.

Sl: Jesensko polje se je prelilo v večerni mir, v Tanji pa je rastla novo najdena samozavest.
En: The autumn field shifted into the evening calm, while a newfound confidence grew within Tanja.
