Story Transcript:

Sl: Nekega lepega sobotnega jutra se je Luka odločil, da bo obiskal osrednjo ljubljansko tržnico.
En: One beautiful Saturday morning, Luka decided to visit the central market in Ljubljana.

Sl: Sonce je sijalo, ptički so peli in vonj svežega sadja ter zelenjave je napolnjeval zrak.
En: The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the scent of fresh fruit and vegetables filled the air.

Sl: Luka je imel poseben načrt.
En: Luka had a special plan in mind.

Sl: Odločil se je, da bo kupil domači med, ki ga je tako hvalila njegova babica.
En: He decided to buy some homemade honey, which his grandmother had praised so much.

Sl: Na tržnici je bilo že živahno.
En: The market was already bustling.

Sl: Trgovci so razkazovali svoje blago, kupci pa so se prebijali skozi gužvo.
En: Traders were displaying their goods, and buyers were pushing through the crowd.

Sl: Luka je v daljavi zagledal stojnico, ki je ponujala različne vrste medu. Med njimi je bil tudi tisti, ki ga je iskal – cvetlični med iz okolice Ljubljane.
En: In the distance, Luka spotted a stall offering various types of honey, including the one he was looking for - floral honey from the surroundings of Ljubljana.

Sl: Ko je prispel do stojnice, je opazil, da sta tam že Mojca in Jure, njegova dobra prijatelja.
En: As he arrived at the stall, he noticed that his good friends Mojca and Jure were already there.

Sl: Pogovarjali so se o različnih vrstah medu, ko je Luka nenadoma, prepričan v svoje znanje o medu, predlagal, da bi poskusil med pred nakupom.
En: They were discussing different types of honey when Luka, confident in his honey knowledge, suddenly suggested trying some honey before making a purchase.

Sl: Trgovec je prijazno prikimal in mu ponudil kozarec medu.
En: The trader kindly agreed and offered him a glass of honey.

Sl: Ker je bil Luka preveč navdušen, je nerodno prijel kozarec in ga po nesreči izlil po sebi.
En: Overly excited, Luka awkwardly grabbed the glass and accidentally spilled it on himself.

Sl: Trenutek tišine je bil prekinjen z Lukovim zaskrbljenim vzklikom, ko se je med počasi začel cediti po njegovi srajci.
En: A moment of silence was interrupted by Luka's worried exclamation as the honey slowly began to drip down his shirt.

Sl: Skoraj takoj so se iz bližnjih košev začele zbirati čebele, privlačene od sladkega vonja medu.
En: Almost immediately, bees began to gather from nearby beehives, attracted by the sweet smell of honey.

Sl: Luka je panično začel mahati z rokami, da bi jih odgnal, kar pa je samo še bolj razburkalo čebeljo družino.
En: Panicking, Luka began to wave his hands to shoo them away, which only further agitated the bee family.

Sl: Ljudje okrog stojnice so se začeli smejati in kazati, vendar je bila situacija za Luko vse prej kot zabavna.
En: People around the stall started laughing and pointing, but the situation was anything but amusing for Luka.

Sl: Mojca in Jure sta hitro ukrepala.
En: Mojca and Jure quickly took action.

Sl: Mojca je pritekla z brisačo, namočeno v vodi s tržnice, in začela nežno čistiti med s Lukove srajce, medtem ko je Jure pomagal odganjati čebele s pomočjo listov s tržnice, ki jih je zamahoval okrog njega.
En: Mojca ran over with a towel soaked in water from the market and gently began to clean the honey off Luka's shirt, while Jure helped to fend off the bees using leaves from the market, waving them around him.

Sl: Medtem je trgovec hitro pokril ostale kozarce z medom, da bi preprečil nadaljnje nezgode.
En: Meanwhile, the trader quickly covered the remaining jars of honey to prevent any further mishaps.

Sl: Po nekaj minutah je Luki uspelo umiriti sebe in čebele so se vrnile k svojemu opravilu.
En: After a few minutes, Luka managed to calm himself, and the bees returned to their business.

Sl: Luka, zdaj lepljiv, a brez čebel, se je zasmejal svoji nerodnosti.
En: Sticky but bee-free, Luka laughed at his clumsiness.

Sl: Trgovec je bil prijazen in mu ni zaračunal prevrnjenega medu.
En: The trader was kind and didn't charge him for the spilled honey.

Sl: Namesto tega mu je dal nov, celega, tokrat že zapakiranega za varno odnes domov.
En: Instead, he gave Luka a new, intact jar already packed for safe transport home.

Sl: Luka, obdan s prijatelji in z novo zgodbo za pripovedovanje, se je zahvalil Mojci in Juretu za pomoč ter odšel z novim kozarcem medu v rokah.
En: Surrounded by friends and with a new story to tell, Luka thanked Mojca and Jure for their help and left with a new jar of honey in hand.

Sl: Vse se je končalo dobro, saj so se prijatelji skupaj smejali in uživali v preostanku sobotnega jutra na ljubljanski tržnici.
En: In the end, everything turned out well as the friends laughed together and enjoyed the rest of the Saturday morning at the Ljubljana market.

Sl: In Luka je obljubil, da bo naslednjič ravnal z medom previdneje.
En: And Luka promised to handle honey more carefully next time.
