Story Transcript:

Sl: Matej je sedel na hlodu ob poti in gledal v daljavo.
En: Matej sat on a log by the path, gazing into the distance.

Sl: Vsi so se ustavili na kosilo, učiteljica je razdelila sendviče, a Matej je imel drugo idejo.
En: Everyone had stopped for lunch, the teacher had handed out sandwiches, but Matej had a different idea.

Sl: Njegov obraz je izražal nemir.
En: His face expressed unease.

Sl: Vedel je, da nekje v gozdu leži skriti slap, o katerem je bral.
En: He knew there was a hidden waterfall somewhere in the forest, one he had read about.

Sl: "Če bi le lahko," je pomislil, "če bi le lahko šel pogledat."
En: "If only I could," he thought, "if only I could go and see it."

Sl: Ana, ki je sedela poleg njega, je opazila Matejev zamišljeni pogled.
En: Ana, who was sitting next to him, noticed Matej's thoughtful gaze.

Sl: "Kaj razmišljaš?" ga je vprašala.
En: "What are you thinking about?" she asked him.

Sl: Matej se je ozrl nazaj k njej in se nasmehnil.
En: Matej turned back to her and smiled.

Sl: "Nekje blizu je slap," je povedal, "želim ga videti!"
En: "There's a waterfall nearby," he said, "I want to see it!"

Sl: "Matej, mi pa moramo ostati na poti," je odgovorila Ana resno.
En: "Matej, we're supposed to stay on the path," Ana replied seriously.

Sl: Pravila parka so bila jasna, a Matejev nemiren duh že dolgo ni poslušal pravil.
En: The park's rules were clear, but Matej's restless spirit hadn't listened to rules for a long time.

Sl: Med kosilom je Matej sklenil.
En: During lunch, Matej made up his mind.

Sl: Pogledal je naokrog, nato pa začel potihoma lesti stran.
En: He looked around, then began to quietly slip away.

Sl: Ana je to opazila.
En: Ana noticed this.

Sl: "Se res odpravljaš?" je vprašala tiho.
En: "Are you really going?" she asked softly.

Sl: Matej prikimal in pomignil z glavo proti gozdu.
En: Matej nodded and gestured with his head towards the forest.

Sl: Ana ni mogla verjeti, a nekaj v njej je kliknilo.
En: Ana couldn't believe it, but something inside her clicked.

Sl: "Pridem s teboj," je rekla, "a samo zato, da te prepričam, da se vrneva."
En: "I'll come with you," she said, "but only to convince you to come back."

Sl: Zasnežena tla so škripala pod njunimi škornji.
En: The snowy ground crunched under their boots.

Sl: Pot je postajala vedno bolj ozka, gozd okoli njiju pa gostejši.
En: The path became increasingly narrow, and the forest around them denser.

Sl: Jasno nebo se je začelo spreminjati.
En: The clear sky began to change.

Sl: Nebo je postajalo oblačno in hitro se je začel naletavati sneg.
En: The sky was becoming cloudy, and snow began to fall quickly.

Sl: V počasnejšem koraku sta oba začutila, da sta zašla.
En: In their slower pace, both felt that they had strayed.

Sl: "Matej," je zaskrbljeno rekla Ana, "ne bi smela biti tukaj. Vrniva se, dokler je še svetlo."
En: "Matej," Ana said worriedly, "we shouldn't be here. Let's go back while it's still light."

Sl: Matejov uporni pogled je popustil.
En: Matej's rebellious look subsided.

Sl: Prestrašil se je ideje izgubljenosti in svojih odločitev.
En: He was frightened by the idea of being lost and his decisions.

Sl: Vihar je okrog njiju pihal snežinke.
En: The storm whirled snowflakes around them.

Sl: Zdaj ni bil več čas za eksperimentiranje.
En: Now was no longer the time for experimenting.

Sl: "Vredu," je priznal Matej, "vrniva se."
En: "Alright," Matej admitted, "let's go back."

Sl: Ana je umirjeno sledila istemu slednjemu koraku, poskušala se je spomniti vsakega zavojčka, ki sta ga naredila.
En: Ana calmly followed the same last steps, trying to remember every turn they had made.

Sl: Pot je bila težka in sneg je zakrival sledi, vendar sta zaupala eden drugemu.
En: The path was difficult and the snow covered the tracks, but they trusted each other.

Sl: Ko sta končno zagledala skupino učencev in učiteljico, ki je že bila pripravljena na odhod, sta oba globoko oddahnila.
En: When they finally saw the group of students and the teacher, who were already ready to leave, they both sighed deeply.

Sl: Matej in Ana sta se nerodno nasmehnila učiteljici, ki je bila vidno zaskrbljena, a hkrati olajšana, da sta varno nazaj.
En: Matej and Ana awkwardly smiled at the teacher, who was visibly worried but relieved that they were safely back.

Sl: "Tako sem vesela, da sta v redu," je rekla učiteljica.
En: "I'm so glad you're both okay," the teacher said.

Sl: Matej je sklonil glavo, zavedajoč se, da so pravila včasih tukaj z razlogom.
En: Matej bowed his head, realizing that sometimes rules are there for a reason.

Sl: Ana je obdržala svoj običajni nasmeh, a z utripom poguma v sebi, da lahko, kadar je nujno, prevzame vodstvo.
En: Ana maintained her usual smile, but with a hint of courage inside her, knowing that when necessary, she could take the lead.

Sl: Trikraljev narodni park je bil čudovit tudi v zimskem dnevu, a oba sta vedela, kako nevarno bi lahko bilo, če ne bi delovala kot ekipa.
En: Trikraljev National Park was beautiful even on a winter day, but they both knew how dangerous it could be if they didn't act as a team.

Sl: Matej se je naučil ceniti pravila, Ana pa zaupati svoji moči odločanja.
En: Matej learned to appreciate rules, and Ana learned to trust her decision-making power.

Sl: Vse se je dobro končalo; nekateri slapovi res obstajajo najbolje le v knjigah in zgodbah.
En: Everything ended well; some waterfalls are indeed best left in books and stories.
