Sr: U srcu Beograda, gde se sreću prošlost i sadašnjost, nalazi se Kalemegdanska tvrđava.

Sr: Ali, iznenada, kustos je otkrio nešto strašno.
En: But suddenly, the curator discovered something terrible.

Sr: Artefakti su nestali!
En: The artifacts were missing!

Sr: Umesto njih, na stolu je bila poruka na staroslovenskom pismu.
En: Instead, there was a message written in Old Slavic script on the table.

Sr: Marko je pažljivo pročitao poruku.
En: Marko carefully read the message.

Sr: "Ko može da razume stare rune?
En: "Who can understand the old runes?"

Sr: " upitao je.
En: he asked.

Sr: Jelena je znala malo o tome.
En: Jelena knew a little about it.

Sr: Proučavala je stare jezike.
En: She had studied ancient languages.

Sr: "Ovo je enigma," rekla je Jelena.
En: "This is an enigma," Jelena said.

Sr: "Piše: 'Gde svetlost ljubi tvrđavu, tu blago ponire.
En: "It says: 'Where the light kisses the fortress, there the treasure sinks.'"

Sr: '""Šta to znači?
En: "What does that mean?"

Sr: " upitao je Vladimir.
En: Vladimir asked.

Sr: Marko je pogledao kroz prozor.
En: Marko looked out the window.

Sr: Sunce je sjalo na deo tvrđave.
En: The sun was shining on a part of the fortress.

Sr: "Možda treba da pratimo svetlost," rekao je on.
En: "Maybe we need to follow the light," he said.

Sr: Oni su izašli napolje.
En: They went outside.

Sr: Sunce je obasjavalo stari bedem.
En: The sun illuminated the old rampart.

Sr: Pratili su senku tvrđave sve dok nisu stigli do tajnog prolaza.
En: They followed the shadow of the fortress until they reached a secret passage.

Sr: "Ovo je kao u filmovima," šapnula je Jelena.
En: "This is like in the movies," Jelena whispered.

Sr: Vladimir je otvorio drvena vrata.
En: Vladimir opened the wooden door.

Sr: Pred njima se nalazila mala soba.
En: In front of them was a small room.

Sr: Unutra su bili artefakti!
En: Inside were the artifacts!

Sr: A tu je bila i još jedna poruka.
En: And there was another message.

Sr: "Čestitamo," rekao je Marko.
En: "Congratulations," Marko said.

Sr: "Našli smo ih.
En: "We found them."

Sr: "Kustos je bio oduševljen.
En: The curator was delighted.

Sr: "Spasili ste našu istoriju!
En: "You have saved our history!"

Sr: "Dok je sunce zalazilo nad Beogradom, Marko, Jelena i Vladimir su se smeškali.
