Story Transcript:

Sl: V jutru, ko sonce poljubi jezero Bled, sta Ana in Matej odprla svojo pekarno "Kruh in ljubezen".
En: On the morning when the sun kissed Lake Bled, Ana and Matej opened their bakery "Bread and Love."

Sl: Pekarna je stala le streljaj od obale, z razgledom na jezero in otoček.
En: The bakery stood just a stone's throw from the shore, with a view of the lake and the little island.

Sl: Matej je bil mojster kruha.
En: Matej was a master of bread.

Sl: Vedno je imel moko na rokah in iskrice v očeh.
En: He always had flour on his hands and a sparkle in his eyes.

Sl: Ana je pekla pecivo in skrbela za stranke s toplim nasmehom.
En: Ana baked pastries and greeted customers with a warm smile.

Sl: "Dan se začne z dobrim kruhom," je vedno govorila.
En: "The day starts with good bread," she always said.

Sl: Na sončno soboto zjutraj je bila pekarna polna ljudi.
En: On a sunny Saturday morning, the bakery was full of people.

Sl: Turisti so prihajali z vseh strani, da bi poskusili njihove dobrote.
En: Tourists came from all directions to try their delights.

Sl: Toda tistega dne je bila Ana zaskrbljena.
En: But that day, Ana was worried.

Sl: "Matej, zaloge moke so skoraj pošle," je rekla.
En: "Matej, our flour supplies are almost gone," she said.

Sl: "Kaj bomo storili?
En: "What are we going to do?"

Sl: "Matej je nasmejano odgovoril: "Ne skrbi, Ana.
En: Matej responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Ana.

Sl: Vse bo v redu.
En: Everything will be alright."

Sl: "Ana in Matej sta šla skupaj po moko k lokalnemu mlinarju.
En: Ana and Matej went together to get flour from the local miller.

Sl: Med potjo sta se ustavila ob jezeru.
En: On the way, they stopped by the lake.

Sl: Gledala sta proti otoku, kjer je zvonček na cerkvi zvonil vsako uro.
En: They looked toward the island where the church bell rang every hour.

Sl: Ana je globoko vdihnila.
En: Ana took a deep breath.

Sl: "Tukaj je tako mirno," je rekla.
En: "It's so peaceful here," she said.

Sl: Ko sta se vrnila v pekarno, je bil pred vrati dolg seznam ljudi, ki so čakali.
En: When they returned to the bakery, there was a long line of people waiting at the door.

Sl: Matej je hitro spekel kruh, medtem ko je Ana poskrbela za stranke.
En: Matej quickly baked bread while Ana took care of the customers.

Sl: Kava je dišala, smeh otrok je odmeval.
En: The smell of coffee filled the air, and children's laughter echoed.

Sl: Pekarna "Kruh in ljubezen" je zaživela.
En: The bakery "Bread and Love" came to life.

Sl: Popoldne je prišla gospa Marija.
En: In the afternoon, Mrs. Marija came.

Sl: Vedno je prihajala ob istem času.
En: She always came at the same time.

Sl: "Ana, Matej, spet ste rešili moj dan s svojim kruhom!
En: "Ana, Matej, you’ve saved my day again with your bread!"

Sl: " je rekla.
En: she said.

Sl: "Tako sem hvaležna za vas.
En: "I'm so grateful for you."

Sl: ""Sreča je v majhnih stvareh," je odgovoril Matej.
En: "Happiness is in the little things," Matej replied.

Sl: Ana je prikimala.
En: Ana nodded.

Sl: Tistega večera, ko sta zapirala pekarno, sta gledala jezero, zdaj obsijano z mesečino.
En: That evening, as they were closing the bakery, they looked at the lake, now bathed in moonlight.

Sl: Ana se je naslonila na Mateja.
En: Ana leaned on Matej.

Sl: Vedela je, da bodo z vsakim novim dnem prinesli sveže kruh in ljubezen svoji skupnosti.
En: She knew that with each new day, they would bring fresh bread and love to their community.

Sl: Njuna zgodba ni bila le o kruhu.
En: Their story wasn't just about bread.

Sl: Bila je o prijateljstvu, delu in malih radostih življenja.
En: It was about friendship, work, and the small joys of life.

Sl: Lake Bled in njuna pekarna sta bila njun dom, kraj, kjer se začne dan z dobrim kruhom in ljubeznijo.
En: Lake Bled and their bakery were their home, a place where the day begins with good bread and love.

Sl: In tako je bilo.
En: And so it was.

Sl: Konec.
En: The end.
