Story Transcript:

Sl: Matej je sedel na leseni klopi v parku Tivoli.
En: Matej was sitting on a wooden bench in Tivoli park.

Sl: Senca kostanjev ga je hladila pred poletno vročino.
En: The shade from the chestnut trees cooled him from the summer heat.

Sl: Sonce je sijalo skozi liste, ptice pa so peli svoje pesmi.
En: The sun shone through the leaves, and birds sang their songs.

Sl: Okoli njega so bile družine, prijatelji in parčki.
En: Around him were families, friends, and couples.

Sl: Vsi so uživali v sproščenem popoldnevu.
En: Everyone was enjoying the relaxed afternoon.

Sl: Vendar pa je Matej čutil tesnobo.
En: However, Matej felt anxious.

Sl: Danes je bil njegov rojstni dan, dan, ki ga je želel preživeti z Ana in Gregorjem.
En: Today was his birthday, a day he wanted to spend with Ana and Gregor.

Sl: Vedel je, da njegova sramežljivost lahko uniči ta dan.
En: He knew that his shyness could ruin the day.

Sl: Mislil je tudi, da nista opazila njegovega posebnega dne.
En: He also thought that they probably hadn't noticed his special day.

Sl: Potihem si je želel, da bi bila ta dan nekaj posebnega, nekaj, kar bi prekinilo njegovo običajno rutino.
En: Secretly, he wished for this day to be something special, something that would break his usual routine.

Sl: Kmalu sta Ana in Gregor prišla.
En: Soon, Ana and Gregor arrived.

Sl: Prinesla sta piknik košaro.
En: They brought a picnic basket.

Sl: "Živjo, Matej!
En: "Hi, Matej!"

Sl: " je rekla Ana z nasmehom.
En: said Ana with a smile.

Sl: "Kako si?
En: "How are you?"

Sl: " Matej je nasmehnil nazaj, a v sebi je še vedno čutil cmok.
En: Matej smiled back, but inside he still felt a lump.

Sl: Po tleh so razporedili odejo in odprli košaro.
En: They spread a blanket on the ground and opened the basket.

Sl: V košari so bila različna živila: sendviči, sadje, sladoled.
En: Inside, there were various foods: sandwiches, fruit, ice cream.

Sl: A Matej ni videl ničesar, kar bi namignilo na praznovanje rojstnega dne.
En: But Matej didn't see anything that hinted at celebrating a birthday.

Sl: Ko so pojedli, je Matej zbral pogum.
En: After they ate, Matej gathered courage.

Sl: "Kaj če bi igrali kakšno igro?
En: "How about we play a game?"

Sl: " je predlagal.
En: he suggested.

Sl: "Lahko igramo enko ali nekaj drugega.
En: "We can play Enka or something else."

Sl: " Gregor je navdušeno prikimal.
En: Gregor nodded enthusiastically.

Sl: "Super ideja, Matej!
En: "Great idea, Matej!"

Sl: "Čas je hitro minil.
En: Time flew by quickly.

Sl: Gledali so pare, ki so se sprehajali po drevoredu, in se smejali zgodba iz preteklosti.
En: They watched couples strolling down the avenue and laughed at stories from the past.

Sl: Matej je začel pozabljati svojo zaskrbljenost.
En: Matej began to forget his worries.

Sl: Kljub temu je del njega še upal na kakšno presenečenje.
En: Despite this, a part of him still hoped for some kind of surprise.

Sl: Nato je Ana vstala.
En: Then Ana stood up.

Sl: "Hej, Matej, greva pogledat nekaj cvetlic tamle!
En: "Hey, Matej, let's go check out some flowers over there!"

Sl: " Prikimala je proti bližnjemu kotičku parka.
En: She nodded tow
