Story Transcript:
Sl: Pokljuka je bila čudovita tisto pomladno jutro.
En: Pokljuka was beautiful on that spring morning.
Sl: Sonce je sramežljivo kukalo izza oblakov, ki so občasno oddali preostanek snega.
En: The sun shyly peeked out from behind clouds that occasionally shed some remaining snow.
Sl: Takoj ko sta Matej in Nina prispela z avtobusom iz mesta, ju je objela živahna atmosfera artisan trga.
En: As soon as Matej and Nina arrived by bus from the city, they were enveloped by the lively atmosphere of the artisan market.
Sl: Vonj po sveže pečenem kruhu in dimljenih klobasah je vabil vsakogar.
En: The scent of freshly baked bread and smoked sausages tempted everyone.
Sl: Nina je imela svoj načrt - poiskati najlepšo keramiko, Tina pa je bila navdušena nad vsemi unikati, ki jih je želela prinesti nazaj v mesto.
En: Nina had her plan—to find the most beautiful ceramics, while Tina was excited about all the unique items she wanted to take back to the city.
Sl: Matej pa je imel zelo specifičen cilj: poiskati nekaj, kar bi razveselilo babico na praznovanje dneva sv. Jurija.
En: Matej, however, had a very specific goal: to find something that would delight his grandmother for the celebration of St. George's Day.
Sl: Trg je brenčal od življenja.
En: The market buzzed with life.
Sl: Pod visokimi smrekami so stale pisane stojnice, polne čipk, rezbarenja in keramike.
En: Under tall spruces stood colorful stalls full of lace, carvings, and ceramics.
Sl: Matej je neodločeno prebiral vso to lepoto.
En: Matej indecisively browsed through all this beauty.
Sl: Vsaka stvar je bila čudovita, a nič se mu ni zdelo dovolj posebno.
En: Everything was wonderful, but nothing seemed special enough to him.
Sl: »Kaj če se razdelimo?« je predlagal Matej.
En: “What if we split up?” suggested Matej.
Sl: »Lahko se znova zberemo čez eno uro tukaj, pri klopci.«
En: “We can meet back here in an hour by the bench.”
Sl: Tina in Nina sta se strinjali.
En: Tina and Nina agreed.
Sl: Matej je začel pozorno raziskovati stojnice enega za drugim, a povsod so bile podobne stvari.
En: Matej started to carefully explore the stalls one by one, but everywhere he saw similar items.
Sl: Lepa keramika, prefinjene vezenine, a nič, kar bi ga navdušilo.
En: Beautiful ceramics, exquisite embroideries, but nothing that thrilled him.
Sl: Nato je naletel na stojnico, kjer so prodajali ročno izdelano čipko.
En: Then he came across a stall selling handmade lace.
Sl: Njegova babica je nekoč sama izdelovala čipke in Mateja je takoj prevzela nostalgija.
En: His grandmother used to make lace herself, and Matej was immediately filled with nostalgia.
Sl: Ravno ko je želel kupiti eno od prelepih belih čipk, je zaslišal, kako nekdo drug prav tako želi isto čipko.
En: Just as he wanted to buy one of the beautiful white laces, he heard someone else also wanted the same lace.
Sl: Matej se je za trenutek ustavil.
En: Matej paused for a moment.
Sl: Razmišljal je.
En: He thought.
Sl: Ali je res pomembno, da dobi to točno to čipko, ali pa bi bilo morda bolj smiselno in srčno izbrati nekaj drugega?
En: Was it really important to get this exact lace, or might it be more meaningful and heartfelt to choose something else?
Sl: Odločil se je, da je bolj pomemben pomen in zgodba kot pa ekskluzivnost.
En:
