Story Transcript:
Sl: Sredi vročega poletja, ko sončni žarki plešejo po stari zgradbi v središču Ljubljane, smo našli zgodbo, ki se plete na hodnikih in vrtu zavoda za otroke brez staršev.
En: In the middle of a hot summer, when the sunbeams dance on the old building in the center of Ljubljana, we found a story unfolding in the hallways and garden of the institution for children without parents.
Sl: Ta zavod je bil dom za Tadeja in Nino že mnogo let.
En: This institution had been home to Tadej and Nina for many years.
Sl: Tadej, starejši brat z občutkom odgovornosti, in Nina, njegova mlajša sestra, sta delila sobo v zgornjem nadstropju, kjer ponoči luna svetli skozi majhno okno.
En: Tadej, the older brother with a sense of responsibility, and Nina, his younger sister, shared a room in the upper floor, where at night the moonlight streamed through the small window.
Sl: Bil je avgust, bližal se je praznik Marijinega vnebovzetja, in zavod je bil živahen kot vedno.
En: It was August, approaching the festival of the Assumption of Mary, and the institution was as lively as ever.
Sl: Otroški smeh in kriki so odmevali po hodnikih in v majhnem vrtu.
En: Children's laughter and shouts echoed through the hallways and in the small garden.
Sl: Toda za Tadeja sta bila to težka obdobja.
En: But for Tadej, this was a difficult time.
Sl: Slišal je, da je dom prenapolnjen in da obstaja možnost, da se sestra in brat ločita.
En: He had heard that the home was overcrowded and that there was a possibility he and his sister might be separated.
Sl: Tako si je začel beliti glavo, kako bi lahko ostala skupaj.
En: Thus, he began to worry about how they could stay together.
Sl: Nekega dopoldneva, ko je sonce bilo najvišje, je na vrata zavoda prišel par, ki je pokazal zanimanje za Nino.
En: One morning, when the sun was at its highest, a couple came to the institution showing interest in Nina.
Sl: Tadejeva srčna bolečina je bila globoka.
En: Tadej's heartache was deep.
Sl: Kako bi lahko pustil svojo sestrico?
En: How could he leave his little sister?
Sl: "Ne še," si je mislil.
En: "Not yet," he thought.
Sl: Tadej si je ob prvem srečanju z možnim parom opogumil.
En: Tadej mustered his courage upon first meeting the prospective couple.
Sl: "Boste vzele tudi mene?
En: "Would you take me too?"
Sl: " je vprašal z negotovostjo v glasu, ko je sedel pred parom.
En: he asked with uncertainty in his voice, sitting in front of the couple.
Sl: Nina je sedela poleg njega, njen droben obraz skrit za njegovim.
En: Nina sat beside him, her tiny face hidden behind his.
Sl: Tadej je težko govoril, a vedel je, da mora biti pogumen za oba.
En: Tadej found it hard to speak, but he knew he had to be brave for both of them.
Sl: "Nina in jaz sva skupaj najmočnejša.
En: "Together, Nina and I are the strongest.
Sl: Ne moreva biti ločena," je dodal, njegov glas je bil hkrati trden in proseč.
En: We cannot be separated," he added, his voice both firm and pleading.
Sl: Par je poslušal z zanimanjem in sočutjem.
En: The couple listened with interest and compassion.
Sl: Njune besede so bile prijetne, a nedorečene.
En: Their words were pleasant but inconclusive.
Sl: "Razmislili bomo," sta odgovorila.
En: "We'll think about it," they replied.
Sl: To je pustilo Tadeja in Nino v negotovos
