Story Transcript:
Sl: Mateja je bila radovedna deklica z vedno žarečimi očmi.
En: Mateja was a curious girl with always shining eyes.
Sl: Tisti sončni poletni dan je bila s šolsko skupino v Botaničnem vrtu v Ljubljani.
En: That sunny summer day, she was with her school group at the Botanični vrt in Ljubljana.
Sl: Čipkaste sence palm so plesale po tleh, medtem ko so eksotične rastline izžarevale svojo barvitost.
En: The lacy shadows of the palms danced on the ground while the exotic plants radiated their colorfulness.
Sl: "Kako lepo je vse to," je rekla Mateja, ko sta se s prijateljem Juretom sprehajala po vijugastih poteh.
En: "How beautiful all this is," said Mateja, as she and her friend Jure walked through the winding paths.
Sl: Jure, njen najboljši prijatelj, je bil pozoren na vse podrobnosti.
En: Jure, her best friend, paid attention to all the details.
Sl: "Poglej te rože, Mateja!
En: "Look at these flowers, Mateja!
Sl: Nikoli jih še nisem videl," je rekel.
En: I've never seen them before," he said.
Sl: Iznenada se je priključil Tadej, novi vodič po vrtu.
En: Suddenly, Tadej, a new guide at the garden, joined them.
Sl: Bil je navdušen in poln energije.
En: He was enthusiastic and full of energy.
Sl: "Pozdravljena, otroci!
En: "Hello, children!
Sl: Danes imamo nekaj posebnega," je dejal, ko je pokazal majhno kletko, kjer je kraljeval redek metulj.
En: Today we have something special," he said, showing a small cage where a rare butterfly reigned.
Sl: "To je eden zadnjih svoje vrste.
En: "This is one of the last of its kind."
Sl: "Mateja se je, očarana, sklonila bližje.
En: Mateja, enchanted, leaned closer.
Sl: Nežno je odprla vrata majhne kletke, hotel si je bolje ogledati metulja.
En: She gently opened the door of the small cage, wanting to get a better look at the butterfly.
Sl: Ampak, hop!
En: But, hop!
Sl: Metulj je izkoristil priložnost in odletel proti nebu.
En: The butterfly seized the opportunity and flew towards the sky.
Sl: "Oh!
En: "Oh!"
Sl: " je Mateja vzkliknila, srce ji je poskočilo.
En: Mateja exclaimed, her heart skipped a beat.
Sl: Bila je prestrašena.
En: She was frightened.
Sl: "Ne skrbi, Mateja!
En: "Don't worry, Mateja!"
Sl: " je šepnil Jure, a Mateja ga je že prosila za pomoč.
En: Jure whispered, but Mateja had already asked him for help.
Sl: Pogovorila sta se o načrtu.
En: They talked about a plan.
Sl: Morala je preden je kdo drug opazil.
En: She had to act before anyone else noticed.
Sl: Metulj se je premeteno spuščal čez cvetlice in se smejal njihovim poskusom.
En: The butterfly cleverly fluttered over the flowers and laughed at their attempts.
Sl: Mateja in Jure sta ga sledila skozi vrtno pot.
En: Mateja and Jure followed it through the garden path.
Sl: A potem, tik preden ju je uspelo, je Tadej pritekel, njegov glas je bil poln navdušenja.
En: But then, just before they succeeded, Tadej ran over, his voice full of excitement.
Sl: "Kje je!
En: "Where is it!"
Sl: " je zavpil premočno, da je metulja še bolj prestrašil.
En: he shouted too loudly, which scared the butterfly even more.
Sl: Mateja se je obotavljala, a je vedela, da mora povedati resnico.
