Story Transcript:

Sl: Stari del Ljubljane je bil zavit v zimski plašč snežink, ki so rahlo padale z oblačnega neba.
En: The old part of Ljubljana was wrapped in a winter coat of snowflakes, gently falling from the cloudy sky.

Sl: Mateja je odprla vrata majhne čajnice z imenom "Zeleni list".
En: Mateja opened the door to a small tea shop named "Zeleni list."

Sl: Toplota in vonj po zeliščnih čajih sta jo ovila kot topel šal.
En: The warmth and scent of herbal teas enveloped her like a warm scarf.

Sl: Lesene mize so bile polne ljudi, ki so uživali v toplem napitku in klepetu.
En: Wooden tables were filled with people enjoying warm drinks and conversation.

Sl: Ambientna svetloba je dodajala prostoru prijeten sijaj.
En: The ambient lighting added a pleasant glow to the space.

Sl: Mateja in Jure, prijatelja iz otroštva, sta sedla za majhno mizo v kotu.
En: Mateja and Jure, childhood friends, sat at a small table in the corner.

Sl: "Mateja, si prepričana, da lahko odložiš učenje?
En: "Mateja, are you sure you can take a break from studying?

Sl: Izpiti so blizu," je vprašal Jure, medtem ko je srkal svoj zeleni čaj.
En: Exams are near," asked Jure, while sipping his green tea.

Sl: "Moram si vzeti odmor.
En: "I need to take a break.

Sl: Preveč me skrbi vse skupaj," je odgovorila Mateja.
En: I’m too worried about everything," answered Mateja.

Sl: Imela je občutek tesnobe zaradi prihajajočih izpitov na univerzi, ki so jo tako težili, da si ni znala odgovoriti, kje najde pogum za naprej.
En: She felt anxious about the upcoming university exams, which weighed on her so heavily that she couldn't fathom where she would find the courage to move forward.

Sl: Okoli njiju je zvenel prijeten žvenket skodelic in smeh drugih obiskovalcev.
En: Around them, the pleasant clinking of cups and the laughter of other visitors could be heard.

Sl: Na sosednji mizi je sedela ženska, Ana, ki je bila zavita v dolg temen plašč in zbrana v svojih mislih.
En: At the adjacent table sat a woman, Ana, wrapped in a long dark coat, absorbed in her thoughts.

Sl: Okoli nje je bilo nekaj skrivnostnega, a Mateja ji ni posvečala preveč pozornosti.
En: There was something mysterious about her, but Mateja didn't pay much attention.

Sl: Želela je čim hitreje popiti čaj in se vrniti k učenju.
En: She wanted to finish her tea quickly and return to studying.

Sl: Nenadoma je bilo slišati krik.
En: Suddenly, a scream was heard.

Sl: Ana se je sesedla na tla.
En: Ana collapsed to the floor.

Sl: Zmedenost je zavladala čajnici.
En: Confusion ruled the tea shop.

Sl: Ljudje so vstajali, a nihče se ni prišel bliže.
En: People stood up, but no one came closer.

Sl: "Mogoče potrebuje pomoč!
En: "Maybe she needs help!"

Sl: " je vzkliknil Jure, pripravljajoč telefon za klic reševalne službe.
En: exclaimed Jure, preparing his phone to call the rescue service.

Sl: Mateja ni vedela, kaj naj stori.
En: Mateja didn't know what to do.

Sl: Srce ji je divjalo.
En: Her heart raced.

Sl: Čeprav jo je skrbelo zanjo, se je njena misel vračala k zvezkom, ki so čakali doma.
En: Even though she was concerned about her, her mind kept returning to the notes waiting at home.

Sl: A pogled na Ano, ki je nemočno ležala na tleh, jo je prebudil iz omahovanja.
En: But the sight of Ana, lying helpless on the floor, awakened her from hesitation.

Sl: Mateja se je sklonila k njej.
En: Mateja bent down to her.

Sl: "Ali me slišiš?
En: "Can you hear me?"

Sl: " je vprašala in začela izvajati tisto, kar se je naučila v osnovah prve pomoči.
En: she asked, beginning to perform what she had learned in basic first aid.

Sl: Medtem ko so drugi gledali in čakali, je Jure klical reševalce.
En: While others watched and waited, Jure called the paramedics.

Sl: Celoten prostor je bil napolnjen z napetostjo.
En: The entire room was filled with tension.

Sl: Mateja je s tresočimi rokami vztrajala, našla je neznano moč in mirnost, ki ju prej ni poznala.
En: With trembling hands, Mateja persevered, discovering an unknown strength and calmness she hadn't known before.

Sl: Paramediki so kmalu prispeli in prevzeli situacijo.
En: The paramedics soon arrived and took over the situation.

Sl: Ana je bila pri zavesti, ovita v toplo reševalno odejo.
En: Ana was conscious, wrapped in a warm rescue blanket.

Sl: Preden so jo odpeljali, se je obrnila k Mateji.
En: Before they took her away, she turned to Mateja.

Sl: Njene oči so bile zahvalne in tople.
En: Her eyes were grateful and warm.

Sl: S tihim nasmehom je Mateji namenila pogled, ki je govoril več, kot bi lahko izrekle besede.
En: With a silent smile, she gave Mateja a look that spoke more than words could express.

Sl: Mateja je obsedela na svojem mestu.
En: Mateja sat back in her seat.

Sl: Njeno srce je počasi našlo mir.
En: Her heart slowly found peace.

Sl: Ugotovila je, da jo trenutki, ko je uspela nekomu pomagati, opolnomočijo bolj, kot si je lahko predstavljala.
En: She realized that moments when she managed to help someone empowered her more than she could have imagined.

Sl: Čaj je bil že hladen, a mateja je sedela v toplini novega zaupanja vase.
En: The tea was already cold, but Mateja sat in the warmth of newfound self-confidence.

Sl: Njeno znanje je bilo pomembno, a vedela je, da ne sme pozabiti biti človek, ki opazi, ko kdo pade.
En: Her knowledge was important, but she knew she must not forget to be the person who notices when someone falls.

Sl: Zunaj je sneg nežno padal, a v njenem svetu je začela svetiti svetla točka upanja.
En: Outside, the snow gently fell, but in her world, a bright point of hope began to shine.
