Story Transcript:
Sl: Snežinke so nežno padale na strehe internata in ga zavijale v belo odejo.
En: The snowflakes gently fell on the roofs of the dormitory, wrapping it in a white blanket.
Sl: Solkanski internat ob reki Soči je bil videti kot pravljična dežela.
En: The Solkanski internat by the reka Soči looked like a fairyland.
Sl: Vsi smo bili navdušeni zaradi zimskega kulturnega festivala, ki se je bližal.
En: We were all excited about the upcoming winter cultural festival.
Sl: Bila sem Mateja, vodilna oseba v tem projektu, in imela sem posebno vlogo — prikazati svojo dramsko igro.
En: I was Mateja, the leading person in this project, and I had a special role — to present my play.
Sl: Stisnila sem scenarij v roke, ko sem opazila Rok in Nino na hodniku.
En: I clutched the script in my hands when I noticed Rok and Nina in the hallway.
Sl: Rok je bil vedno poln energije in idej, prava srca skupine.
En: Rok was always full of energy and ideas, truly the heart of the group.
Sl: "Hej, Mateja," je rekel, "si pripravljena na festival?"
En: "Hey, Mateja," he said, "are you ready for the festival?"
Sl: "Nekaj me skrbi," sem odgovorila.
En: "I'm worried about something," I replied.
Sl: "Slišala sem, da bi lahko snežni metež ustavil vse prevoze.
En: "I heard that a snowstorm might stop all the transport.
Sl: Morda bodo odpovedali dogodek."
En: They might cancel the event."
Sl: Nina je tiho pristopila.
En: Nina quietly approached.
Sl: "To bi bilo grozno," je zamrmrala.
En: "That would be terrible," she murmured.
Sl: Bila je izjemna violinistka, a še vedno ni pokazala svoje glasbe pred vsemi.
En: She was an exceptional violinist, but she still hadn't performed her music in front of everyone.
Sl: Zaupala je samo meni in Roku, ker smo že dolgo prijatelji.
En: She trusted only Rok and me because we had been friends for a long time.
Sl: Rok je takoj stopil v akcijo.
En: Rok immediately sprang into action.
Sl: "Ne smemo dopustiti, da nas nekaj snega ustavi.
En: "We can't let a little snow stop us.
Sl: Kaj če bi festival izpeljali kar tu, pod streho?"
En: What if we held the festival right here, under the roof?"
Sl: "V naši skupni sobi?" sem se vprašala.
En: "In our common room?" I wondered.
Sl: Pogledala sem okolico; velika dvorana bi lahko sprejela večino učencev in učiteljev.
En: I looked around; the large hall could accommodate most of the students and teachers.
Sl: "Zakaj pa ne?" Je odgovoril Rok z zagnanostjo.
En: "Why not?" Rok replied enthusiastically.
Sl: "Če nam uspe, lahko pokažemo, da smo odgovorni in sposobni."
En: "If we succeed, we can show that we are responsible and capable."
Sl: Strinjali smo se in odšli k ravnatelju s predlogom.
En: We agreed and went to the principal with the proposal.
Sl: Povedala sem mu o načrtu za dvorano in zdelo se je, da ga je navdušenje prevzelo.
En: I told him about the plan for the hall, and it seemed that the excitement caught him.
Sl: "Če uspete organizirati vse, bomo festival izvedli," je dejal.
En: "If you manage to organize everything, we will hold the festival," he said.
Sl: "Ampak pohitite!"
En: "But hurry!"
Sl: V tistih urah, ko je zunaj snežilo, smo Rok, Nina in jaz hitro pripravili dvorano.
En: During those hours when it was snowing
