Story Transcript:

Hr: Marta je stajala na rubu maglovite močvare.
En: Marta stood at the edge of the foggy swamp.

Hr: Gusti oblak bijele magle uvijao se oko vijugavih stabala i zapetljanog grmlja.
En: A thick cloud of white fog swirled around the winding trees and tangled bushes.

Hr: Zrak je bio težak, mirisao je na trulež i čulo se tek tiho kreketanje žaba.
En: The air was heavy, smelled of decay, and only the quiet croaking of frogs could be heard.

Hr: Ovaj neobičan prizor izazivao je strahopoštovanje.
En: This unusual scene inspired awe.

Hr: No, Marta nije bila uplašena, već odlučna.
En: However, Marta was not afraid; she was determined.

Hr: „Idemo,” rekla je Marta svome prijatelju Ivanu koji je nesigurno grickao usnu, i Luki koji je znatiželjno gledao oko sebe.
En: "Let's go," said Marta to her friend Ivan, who was nervously biting his lip, and Luka, who was curiously looking around.

Hr: „Marta, jesi li sigurna u ovo?” upitao je Ivan skeptično.
En: "Marta, are you sure about this?" Ivan asked skeptically.

Hr: „Znam što radim,” odgovorila je Marta s osmijehom. „Unutra je, osjećam to.”
En: "I know what I'm doing," Marta answered with a smile. "It's inside, I can feel it."

Hr: Luka nije bio uvjeren. „Priče o čudovištima ovdje... nisu samo prazne priče.”
En: Luka wasn't convinced. "The stories about monsters here... they're not just empty tales."

Hr: Pratili su Martin put preko klizavog tla.
En: They followed Marta's path across the slippery ground.

Hr: Marta je znala da njezini prijatelji sumnjaju, ali ona je vjerovala u magične legende močvare.
En: Marta knew her friends doubted her, but she believed in the magical legends of the swamp.

Hr: Priče su govorile o velikoj bundevici koja krije tajne i moći za nezaboravan Halloween.
En: The stories spoke of a great pumpkin that holds secrets and powers for an unforgettable Halloween.

Hr: Kako su ulazili dublje, staza je postajala sve nejasnija.
En: As they ventured deeper, the path became increasingly unclear.

Hr: Drveće je izgledalo kao da ih svijetli, a zvukovi postajali glasniji.
En: The trees seemed to glow, and the sounds grew louder.

Hr: Dok su koračali, Ivan i Luka počeli su se osvrtati, tražeći sigurno mjesto gdje bi se mogli okrenuti natrag.
En: As they walked, Ivan and Luka began looking around, searching for a safe place where they could turn back.

Hr: „Marta, ovdje stvarno nije sigurno!” pokušao je još jednom Ivan.
En: "Marta, it's really not safe here!" Ivan tried once more.

Hr: No, Marta nije slušala.
En: But Marta wasn't listening.

Hr: Srce ju je vodilo.
En: Her heart was guiding her.

Hr: Osjećala je nešto posebno u zraku.
En: She felt something special in the air.

Hr: Vodilo ju je do mjesta koje je morala vidjeti.
En: It was leading her to a place she had to see.

Hr: Tada, magla se na trenutak razišla.
En: Then, the fog cleared for a moment.

Hr: Ispred njih se otvorilo drevno proplanak, okružen neobičnim, svjetlećim bundevama.
En: Ahead of them opened an ancient clearing, surrounded by strange, glowing pumpkins.

Hr: Marta je zadrhtala od uzbuđenja.
En: Marta trembled with excitement.

Hr: Osjetila je poziv, bundevu koja je sjala jače od svih ostalih.
En: She felt a call, a pumpkin that shone brighter than all the others.

Hr: Bila je veća, sjajnija.
En: It was larger, more radiant.

Hr: S oprezom je prišla bundevi, a Luka i Ivan su je u nevjerici pratili.
En: She approached the pumpkin cautiously, with Luka and Ivan following her in disbelief.

Hr: Dotakla je bundevu i osjetila toplinu koja joj je preplavila ruku.
En: She touched the pumpkin and felt warmth flow through her hand.

Hr: „Ovo je ta,” šapnula je Marta.
En: "This is it," Marta whispered.

Hr: Kad su se vratili kući, Marta je s ponosom ponijela svoju bundeva.
En: When they returned home, Marta proudly carried her pumpkin.

Hr: Na Halloween, svijetlila je nad cijelim selom.
En: On Halloween, it shone over the entire village.

Hr: Svi su bili zadivljeni njenim čarobnim sjajem.
En: Everyone was amazed by its magical glow.

Hr: Slavlje je bilo nezaboravno.
En: The celebration was unforgettable.

Hr: Ivan i Luka, gledajući bundeva, shvatili su koliko je Marta bila u pravu cijelo vrijeme.
En: Ivan and Luka, looking at the pumpkin, realized how right Marta had been all along.

Hr: Njezin instinkt i vjera u mistiku otvorili su im oči.
En: Her instinct and belief in mysticism opened their eyes.

Hr: Njihovo prijateljstvo postalo je čvršće.
En: Their friendship grew stronger.

Hr: Marta je stekla povjerenje u svoju intuiciju i poštovanje prema čudima svijeta.
En: Marta gained trust in her intuition and respect for the wonders of the world.

Hr: Ova avantura ostala je zapisana u srcima svih, kao svjetlost u magli.
En: This adventure remained etched in the hearts of all, like a light in the fog.
