Story Transcript:
Hr: Ana je sjedila u čekaonici bolnice, gledajući kako snijeg nježno prekriva pločnik.
En: Ana was sitting in the hospital waiting room, watching how the snow gently covered the sidewalk.
Hr: Bolnica je bila ukrašena svijetlim božićnim lampicama i malim borovima.
En: The hospital was decorated with bright Christmas lights and small pine trees.
Hr: Sve je mirisalo na svježe pečene kolače.
En: Everything smelled like freshly baked cookies.
Hr: Usred takvog veselog, ali užurbanog okruženja, Ana se osjećala kao da nosi teret cijelog svijeta.
En: In the midst of such a cheerful yet bustling environment, Ana felt as if she was carrying the weight of the whole world.
Hr: Njezina obitelj prolazila je kroz teške trenutke.
En: Her family was going through tough times.
Hr: Nikola, njezin mlađi brat, bio je često bolestan.
En: Nikola, her younger brother, was often sick.
Hr: Njihova prijateljica Luka, koja je radila kao medicinska sestra u bolnici, uvijek im je bila podrška.
En: Their friend Luka, who worked as a nurse in the hospital, was always supportive.
Hr: Luka je Anin hrabri oslonac, uvijek spremna s osmijehom i toplim riječima.
En: Luka was Ana's brave support, always ready with a smile and warm words.
Hr: Božić je bio blizu, a Ana je željela donijeti radost svojoj obitelji.
En: Christmas was near, and Ana wanted to bring joy to her family.
Hr: No, s ograničenim financijama, nije znala kako će priuštiti poklone.
En: However, with limited finances, she didn't know how she would afford gifts.
Hr: Željela je nešto posebno, nešto što će im donijeti osmijeh.
En: She wanted something special, something that would make them smile.
Hr: "Nemoj toliko brinuti," rekao je Nikola, sjedeći pored nje.
En: "Don't worry so much," said Nikola, sitting next to her.
Hr: "Važna je ljubav, a ne stvari.
En: "It's love that matters, not things."
Hr: "Ana je razmišljala o njegovim riječima cijeli dan.
En: Ana thought about his words all day.
Hr: Dok je tako razmišljala, prošla je pored natpisa koji je najavljivao božićni sajam u bolnici.
En: As she pondered, she passed by a sign announcing a Christmas fair in the hospital.
Hr: "Naše ruke, vaši osmijesi" pisalo je velikim slovima.
En: "Our hands, your smiles," it read in large letters.
Hr: To joj je dalo ideju.
En: This gave her an idea.
Hr: Ana se odlučila prošetati do sajma.
En: Ana decided to walk to the fair.
Hr: Prolazila je pored štandova s ručno rađenim ukrasima, sapunima, te raznim sitnicama.
En: She passed by stands with handmade decorations, soaps, and various trinkets.
Hr: Sve je bilo posebno, unikatno, a ipak ne skupo.
En: Everything was special, unique, yet not expensive.
Hr: Kupila je nekoliko sitnica koje su joj privukle pažnju – mirisni svijećnjak za mamu, slatke sapune za Nikolu, te topli šal za Luku.
En: She bought a few things that caught her attention – a scented candle holder for her mom, sweet soaps for Nikola, and a warm scarf for Luka.
Hr: Dok se snijeg pojačavao vani, Ana je osjetila olakšanje.
En: As the snow intensified outside, Ana felt a sense of relief.
Hr: Znala je da će ovi mali pokloni donijeti radost i toplinu srcima njezine obitelji.
