Story Transcript:

Sl: Zunaj je močno pihalo.
En: Outside, the wind was blowing strongly.

Sl: Sneg je naletaval počasi, a vztrajno, prekrival kamnite zidove Ljubljanskega gradu.
En: Snow was falling slowly but steadily, covering the stone walls of the Ljubljanski grad.

Sl: Miha in Neža sta stala pri vhodu in se pripravljala na raziskovanje.
En: Miha and Neža stood at the entrance, preparing to explore.

Sl: Miha je imel v očeh poseben sijaj; njegov načrt je bil jasen.
En: Miha had a special gleam in his eyes; his plan was clear.

Sl: Želel je raziskati vsako skrivnost, ki jo je grad skrival.
En: He wanted to uncover every secret the castle hid.

Sl: Neža, kljub lepi kulisi, ni mogla odložiti skrbi za njuno varnost.
En: Despite the beautiful scenery, Neža couldn’t shake off her concerns about their safety.

Sl: "Miha, preden gremo naprej, poglej zemljevid," je predlagala Neža.
En: "Miha, before we go further, look at the map," suggested Neža.

Sl: "Tukaj piše, da so nekateri deli lahko spolzki in nevarni."
En: "It says here that some parts can be slippery and dangerous."

Sl: "Ampak Neža, kaj pa če najdemo kaj zanimivega?" je vztrajal Miha.
En: "But Neža, what if we find something interesting?" insisted Miha.

Sl: "Nikoli ne veš, kdaj naletiš na kakšno zanimivo zgodbo!"
En: "You never know when you might stumble upon an intriguing story!"

Sl: Grad je bil veličasten, vendar star, s hodniki, ki so bili raznolikih oblik in velikosti.
En: The castle was magnificent, yet old, with corridors of varied shapes and sizes.

Sl: Skupaj sta se podala po stopnicah navzgor, do ene izmed visokih stolpov.
En: Together, they ascended the stairs to one of the high towers.

Sl: Razgled je bil čudovit, ampak v hipu je začelo še močneje pihati.
En: The view was beautiful, but in an instant, the wind began to blow even stronger.

Sl: Ko sta hodila okoli roba grajske stene, je Miha opazil odprt prostor, ki je bil slabo označen in skoraj zaprašen.
En: As they walked around the edge of the castle wall, Miha noticed an open space that was poorly marked and almost dusty.

Sl: "Dajva si pogledati, pot je videti čisto prehodna," je dejal.
En: "Let's take a look, the path seems quite passable," he said.

Sl: Neža ni bila navdušena: "Miha, morda to ni dobra ideja.
En: Neža wasn't thrilled: "Miha, maybe this isn't a good idea.

Sl: Opozorilne table so tu z razlogom."
En: Warning signs are here for a reason."

Sl: Miha jo je samo za trenutek poslušal, nato pa je odločno korakal naprej.
En: Miha listened to her for just a moment but then continued on decisively.

Sl: Kar naenkrat pa je slišala Neža njegov krik.
En: Suddenly, Neža heard his scream.

Sl: Miha se je sesedel, zgrabil steno za ravnotežje.
En: Miha had collapsed, grabbing the wall for balance.

Sl: Njegov svet se je začel vrteti.
En: His world started to spin.

Sl: Neža mu je priskočila na pomoč.
En: Neža rushed to help him.

Sl: "Dihaj, Miha, umiri se," ga je pomirjala.
En: "Breathe, Miha, calm down," she reassured him.

Sl: Miha ni mogel sesti.
En: Miha couldn't sit down.

Sl: Njegova glava je bila težka, oči zamegljene.
En: His head was heavy, his eyes blurred.

Sl: "Neža, kaj bova storila?"
En: "Neža, what are we going to do?"

Sl: Neža je ostala mirna in hitro razmislila.
En: Neža stayed calm and quickly thought it through.

Sl: "Daj, sediva na tla in pokličiva pomoč."
En: "Let's sit on the ground and call for help."

Sl: Vseeno ji je uspelo servisirati prvo pomoč.
En: She managed to administer first aid.

Sl: Hkrati sta prek telefona hitro navezala stik s turistično službo gradu, ki je bilj v stalnem pripravljenosti zaradi morebitnih nesreč.
En: Meanwhile, through the phone, they quickly contacted the castle's tourist service, which was always on standby for potential accidents.

Sl: Večinoma pa je bilo mirno.
En: Most of the time, it was peaceful.

Sl: Z nekaj navodil iz telefona je Miha po nekaj minutah spet prišel k sebi.
En: With some guidance from the phone, Miha came around after a few minutes.

Sl: Kmalu so prišli zaposleni iz službe in jima pomagali nazaj na varno območje.
En: Soon, staff from the service arrived and helped them back to a safe area.

Sl: Ko sta sedla za okroglo mizo ob kaminu v grajski restavraciji, je Miha zatopljeno zrla v ogenj.
En: As they sat at a round table by the fireplace in the castle restaurant, Miha stared intently into the fire.

Sl: "Neža, zdaj razumem.
En: "Neža, now I understand.

Sl: Tvoja previdnost ni samo previdnost.
En: Your caution isn't just caution.

Sl: Je modrost."
En: It's wisdom."

Sl: Neža se je nasmehnila in položila roko na njegovo.
En: Neža smiled and placed her hand on his.

Sl: "In jaz bom sedaj bolj prisluhnila tvojemu avanturizmu.
En: "And now I will listen more to your adventurous spirit.

Sl: Dolgočasno bi bilo brez tvojih idej o raziskovanju."
En: It would be boring without your ideas for exploration."

Sl: Ljubljanski grad je ostal mogočen za njima, prekrit z novo plastjo snega.
En: The Ljubljanski grad remained majestic behind them, covered with a new layer of snow.

Sl: Zgodba, ki sta jo ta dan doživela, pa ni bila le zgodba o nevarnostih, temveč o medsebojnem zaupanju in uvidu v stvari, ki so v resnici pomembne.
En: The story they experienced that day was not just a story of dangers but of mutual trust and insight into what really matters.
