Story Transcript:
Sl: Veterna burja je hladno pihala čez starodavno mesto Skradin.
En: The cold burja wind blew over the ancient town of Skradin.
Sl: Jesenske barve so se lesketale ob reki Krki, kjer so se v živahnem odprtem trgu vrstile številne stojnice.
En: Autumn colors glistened by the Krka River, where numerous stalls lined a lively open market.
Sl: Vonj po začimbah in suhem listju je napolnjeval zrak, medtem ko so trgovci in kupci izmenjevali prijazne besede.
En: The scent of spices and dried leaves filled the air as traders and buyers exchanged friendly words.
Sl: Maj in Eva sta počasi hodila med stojnicami.
En: Maj and Eva walked slowly among the stalls.
Sl: Maj je bil zamišljen, skušal je najti popoln predmet za družinski oltar, da bi počastil dediščino prednikov.
En: Maj was deep in thought, trying to find the perfect item for the family altar to honor his ancestors' heritage.
Sl: Eva pa je imela ostro oko za kakovost, tiho pa je uživala v zgodovini, ki jo je vsako malo naročilo iz preteklosti.
En: Eva, on the other hand, had a keen eye for quality and quietly enjoyed the history behind each order from the past.
Sl: "Maj, moramo biti hitri," je rekla Eva, ko je opazovala, kako trgovci počasi začenjajo pospravljati svoje dragocenosti.
En: "Maj, we need to be quick," Eva said as she noticed the traders slowly starting to pack away their treasures.
Sl: "Veliko je ponaredkov.
En: "There are many fakes.
Sl: Potrebujemo nekaj resničnega.
En: We need something real."
Sl: "Skupaj sta se ustavila pri stojnici, kjer je star trgovec ponujal različne kamnite relikvije in tekstil.
En: They stopped together at a stall where an old merchant was offering various stone relics and textiles.
Sl: Maj je zavohal priložnost.
En: Maj sensed an opportunity.
Sl: Medtem ko sta se pogovarjala, je Eva opazila lesketajočo se kamnito podobo v kotu stojnice.
En: While they chatted, Eva noticed a shimmering stone figure in the corner of the stall.
Sl: "To je to," je šepetala, z očmi uprtimi v idol.
En: "This is it," she whispered, her eyes fixed on the idol.
Sl: "Poglej, kako je rezbarija podrobna.
En: "Look at how detailed the carving is."
Sl: "Maj je napet pazil, dokler ni opazil drugega kupca, ki je prav tako opazil skulpturo.
En: Maj watched intently until he noticed another buyer who had also spotted the sculpture.
Sl: Čas je bil pomemben.
En: Time was of the essence.
Sl: Srce mu je hitreje bilo.
En: His heart beat faster.
Sl: Maj in Eva sta skupaj pristopila k starcu.
En: Maj and Eva approached the old man together.
Sl: "Koliko za to umetnino?
En: "How much for this artwork?"
Sl: " je vprašal Maj.
En: Maj asked.
Sl: Trgovec je dvignil glavo, dolgo mu je gledal v oči.
En: The merchant lifted his head and looked him in the eyes for a long time.
Sl: "Ta idol ima zgodovino.
En: "This idol has history.
Sl: Ni poceni," je stari mož odgovoril.
En: It's not cheap," the old man replied.
Sl: Sledil je kratek pogovor, ki se je končal z obojestranskim zadovoljstvom.
En: A short conversation followed, ending in mutual satisfaction.
Sl: Ko sta se Maj in Eva s pridobljenim idolom oddaljevala, je na Krko že padal zlati sijaj zahajajočega sonca.
En: As Maj and Eva walked away with the acquired idol, the golden glow
