Story Transcript:

Sl: Jezero Bled je bilo mirno in sončno.
En: Lake Bled was calm and sunny.

Sl: Ana in Matic sta stala na obali. Pogledovala sta znameniti Bledski otok.
En: Ana and Matic stood on the shore, gazing at the famous Bled Island.

Sl: "Greva tja," je rekla Ana s širokim nasmehom.
En: "Let's go there," Ana said with a wide smile.

Sl: Matic se je strinjal in najela sta majhen čoln.
En: Matic agreed, and they rented a small boat.

Sl: Po nekaj minutah veslanja je Matic začel opazovati, da gre nekaj narobe.
En: After a few minutes of rowing, Matic noticed something was wrong.

Sl: Veslal je v krogih.
En: He was rowing in circles.

Sl: Ana se je smejala.
En: Ana laughed.

Sl: "Kaj delaš, Matic?" je vprašala.
En: "What are you doing, Matic?" she asked.

Sl: "Poskušam priti do otoka," je odgovoril zmedeno.
En: "I'm trying to get to the island," he replied, confused.

Sl: Matic je veslal naprej, vendar je čoln še vedno krožil.
En: Matic kept rowing, but the boat still went in circles.

Sl: Ana je uživala v smehu.
En: Ana enjoyed the laughter.

Sl: "Matic, morda veslaš preveč na eni strani," je rekla.
En: "Matic, maybe you're rowing too much on one side," she said.

Sl: Matic je poskušal spremeniti svojo tehniko.
En: Matic tried to change his technique.

Sl: Ni pomagalo.
En: It didn't help.

Sl: Ura je minila.
En: An hour passed.

Sl: Ana je sedela v čolnu, sproščena in vesela.
En: Ana sat in the boat, relaxed and happy.

Sl: Opazovala je pestro življenje okoli jezera in se smejala.
En: She watched the vibrant life around the lake and laughed.

Sl: "Boš še poskusil, Matic?" je vprašala, ko je opazila, da je postal nekoliko obupan.
En: "Will you try again, Matic?" she asked when she noticed he was becoming a bit desperate.

Sl: Na koncu je v obupu predal vesla Ani.
En: In the end, he handed the oars to Ana in despair.

Sl: Ana je vzela vesla in začela veslati.
En: Ana took the oars and started rowing.

Sl: Po nekaj minutah čoln ni več krožil.
En: After a few minutes, the boat was no longer circling.

Sl: Končno sta bila na pravi poti proti Bledskemu otoku.
En: Finally, they were on the right path to Bled Island.

Sl: Ko sta prispela do otoka, je Matic hvaležno vzdihnil.
En: When they reached the island, Matic sighed in relief.

Sl: "Ana, hvala," je rekel.
En: "Thank you, Ana," he said.

Sl: Ana se je nasmehnila in mu pomežiknila.
En: Ana smiled and winked at him.

Sl: "Vesela sem, da sem lahko pomagala."
En: "I'm glad I could help."

Sl: Skupaj sta si ogledala otok in uživala v prelepi naravi.
En: Together, they explored the island and enjoyed the beautiful nature.

Sl: Spet na obali sta se oba smejala dogodivščini.
En: Back on the shore, they both laughed at the adventure.

Sl: Matic je obljubil, da bo naslednjič boljši.
En: Matic promised that he would be better next time.

Sl: "Ali pa bom kar tebi prepustil vesla," je dodal s smehom.
En: "Or maybe I'll just leave the rowing to you," he added with a laugh.

Sl: Tako se je njun dan končal s sončnim zahodom nad prelepim Blejskim jezerom.
En: Their day ended with a sunset over the beautiful Lake Bled.
