Story Transcript:

Sl: Vroče poletno sonce je grelo pokrajino, ko sta Neža in Luka sedla v avto.
En: The hot summer sun warmed the landscape as Neža and Luka sat in the car.

Sl: "Pripravljena na avanturo?" je vprašal Luka s širokim nasmehom na obrazu.
En: "Ready for an adventure?" Luka asked with a wide smile on his face.

Sl: Neža je prikimala, čeprav je čutila nervozo.
En: Neža nodded, although she felt nervous.

Sl: Bled, je pomislila.
En: Bled, she thought.

Sl: Čudovita jezera, čarobni otok in zelena narava so jo vabili že dolgo časa.
En: The beautiful lakes, the magical island, and the green nature had been calling to her for a long time.

Sl: Avto je vozil po vijugasti poti, okoli njiju so bile lepe hribovite pokrajine.
En: The car drove along the winding road, surrounded by beautiful hilly landscapes.

Sl: Neža je stegnila roko skozi okno in uživala v lahkemu vetru.
En: Neža stretched out her hand through the window, enjoying the gentle breeze.

Sl: "Kako lep kraj," je rekla.
En: "What a beautiful place," she said.

Sl: Luka se je nasmehnil: "Veš, vedno lahko računaš na mene, če kaj potrebuješ."
En: Luka smiled: "You know, you can always count on me if you need anything."

Sl: Po nekaj urah vožnje sta prispela do Lake Bled.
En: After a few hours of driving, they arrived at Lake Bled.

Sl: Luka je ustavil avto na parkirišču in izstopila sta.
En: Luka parked the car and they got out.

Sl: "Najprej greva na čolnarjenje," je predlagal Luka.
En: "First, let's go boating," Luka suggested.

Sl: "Potem pa mogoče še na kratek pohod okoli jezera."
En: "Then maybe a short hike around the lake."

Sl: Obojnema se je zdela ideja super.
En: They both thought the idea was wonderful.

Sl: Usedla sta se v majhen čoln in začela veslati proti sredini jezera, proti prelepi cerkvici na otoku.
En: They sat in a small boat and started rowing towards the middle of the lake, towards the beautiful church on the island.

Sl: Vse je bilo popolno, dokler ni Neža nenadoma začutila pekoč občutek na roki.
En: Everything was perfect until Neža suddenly felt a burning sensation on her arm.

Sl: "Au," je zaječala.
En: "Ouch," she groaned.

Sl: Luka je takoj prenehal veslati.
En: Luka immediately stopped rowing.

Sl: "Kaj je narobe?"
En: "What's wrong?"

Sl: Neža je opazila rdečico in oteklino na roki.
En: Neža noticed redness and swelling on her arm.

Sl: "Menda me je nekaj pičilo," je rekla.
En: "I think something stung me," she said.

Sl: Upala je, da bo malenkost in bo hitro minilo.
En: She hoped it was nothing and would pass quickly.

Sl: Toda oteklina je hitro naraščala in postajala boleča.
En: But the swelling quickly worsened and became painful.

Sl: "Neža, morava po pomoč," je rekel Luka, skrbi v očeh.
En: "Neža, we need to get help," Luka said, worry in his eyes.

Sl: Neža je vedela, da je Luka imel prav, a strah jo je hromil.
En: Neža knew Luka was right, but fear paralyzed her.

Sl: "V redu je," je poskusila reči, a glas ji je zadrhtel.
En: "It's okay," she tried to say, but her voice trembled.

Sl: Luka pa ni bil prepričan.
En: Luka was not convinced.

Sl: "Vidim, da ni vse v redu. Odpeljal te bom k zdravniku."
En: "I see that it's not okay. I'll take you to a doctor."

Sl: Neža je želela protestirati, a Luka je že veslal nazaj proti obali s polno močjo.
En: Neža wanted to protest, but Luka was already rowing back to the shore with full force.

Sl: Ko sta prispela, je Luka hitro poklical reševalce.
En: When they arrived, Luka quickly called the paramedics.

Sl: Kljub Nežini protesti, jo je Luka trdno prijel za roko.
En: Despite Neža’s protests, Luka firmly held her hand.

Sl: "Ne skrbi," je rekel mirno, "tu sem zate."
En: "Don't worry," he said calmly, "I'm here for you."

Sl: Reševalci so hitro prispeli in Nežo peljali v najbližji zdravstveni dom.
En: The paramedics arrived quickly and took Neža to the nearest health center.

Sl: Tam so jo hitro pregledali in ji še pravočasno dali zdravilo.
En: There they examined her quickly and gave her medication just in time.

Sl: Po nekaj urah sta bila spet zunaj, a tokrat se je Neža počutila šibko in malo osramočeno.
En: After a few hours, they were outside again, but this time Neža felt weak and a little embarrassed.

Sl: "Res mi je žal," je rekla Luka, ko sta se usedla na klop ob obali jezera.
En: "I'm really sorry," Lula said as they sat on a bench by the lake shore.

Sl: "Samo tako strah me je bilo."
En: "I was just so scared."

Sl: Neža je imela solze v očeh.
En: Neža had tears in her eyes.

Sl: "Hvala, Luka. Vedno se bojim takih situacij, ampak zdaj vem, da se lahko zanesem nate."
En: "Thank you, Luka. I'm always scared of these situations, but now I know I can rely on you."

Sl: Luka jo je nežno objel.
En: Luka gently hugged her.

Sl: "Vedno bom tukaj zate, Neža."
En: "I'll always be here for you, Neža."

Sl: Medtem ko so poletne zvezde sijale nad njunimi glavami, je Neža končno občutila mir.
En: As the summer stars shone above their heads, Neža finally felt at peace.

Sl: Spet sta šla nazaj skozi parkirišče proti avtu, roko v roki, pripravljena na nadaljevanje njune avanture.
En: They walked back through the parking lot to the car, hand in hand, ready to continue their adventure.

Sl: Ta trenutek je vedela, da ni strašno prositi za pomoč, še posebej, ko je imel ob sebi prijatelja kot je Luka.
En: At that moment, she knew that it's not terrifying to ask for help, especially when she had a friend like Luka beside her.
