Story Transcript:

Sl: Nekega sončnega dne so prijatelji Luka, Maja in Ana odšli na piknik v Tivoli Park v Ljubljani.
En: One sunny day, friends Luka, Maja, and Ana went on a picnic to Tivoli Park in Ljubljana.

Sl: Luka je prinesel košaro s hrano in odejo, Maja je pritrdila svoj pisani klobuček, Ana pa je nosila koš poln sadja.
En: Luka brought a basket of food and a blanket, Maja secured her colorful hat, and Ana carried a basket full of fruit.

Sl: Medtem ko so iskali popolno mesto za piknik, je Luka opazil, da Maja vedno znova popravlja klobuček na glavi.
En: While searching for the perfect picnic spot, Luka noticed Maja constantly readjusting her hat.

Sl: "Zakaj ga imaš, če ti ne ustreza?
En: "Why do you wear it if it doesn't fit you?"

Sl: " je vprašal.
En: he asked.

Sl: Maja se je nasmehnila: "Ta klobuček mi je pokojna babica podarila, in ko ga nosim, se počutim, kot da je tukaj z mano.
En: Maja smiled and said, "My late grandmother gave me this hat, and when I wear it, I feel like she is here with me."

Sl: "Končno so našli lepo mesto na soncu.
En: Finally, they found a beautiful spot in the sun.

Sl: Razgrnili so odejo in razpakirali hrano.
En: They laid out the blanket and unpacked the food.

Sl: Ana je nemudoma zagrabila za svojo knjigo, brala je o ptičjih gnezdih in različnih vrstah ptic.
En: Ana immediately grabbed her book and started reading about bird nests and different types of birds.

Sl: Luka je opazil nekaj bleščečega v grmovju in se odpravil pogledat.
En: Luka noticed something shiny in the bushes and went to investigate.

Sl: Tam je našel izgubljeno jajce.
En: There, he found a lost egg.

Sl: "Glejte, našel sem jajce!
En: "Look, I found an egg!

Sl: Izgubljeno je, morda bi morali poiskati gnezdo," je rekel.
En: It's lost; maybe we should look for the nest," he said.

Sl: Maja je bila zaposlena s pripravo sendvičev in ni opazila, ko je Luka previdno vzel njeno klobuček za ptičje gnezdo.
En: Maja was busy making sandwiches and didn't notice when Luka carefully took her hat to use as a bird's nest.

Sl: Poskušal je jajce položiti v "gnezdo", a to je povzročilo, da se je klobuček zvrnil na tla, jajce pa se je razbilo.
En: He tried to place the egg in the "nest," but this caused the hat to fall to the ground and the egg to break.

Sl: Maja se je obrnila in zavpila od presenečenja: "Luka, kaj delaš s mojim klobukom?
En: Maja turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "Luka, what are you doing with my hat?"

Sl: " Luka se je zardel in hitro razložil svojo pomoto, Ana pa se ni mogla nehati smejati ob tej komični zmešnjavi.
En: Luka blushed and quickly explained his mistake, while Ana couldn't stop laughing at the comical mix-up.

Sl: Maja je bila sprva jezna, a ko je videla Lukovo iskreno opravičilo in rahlo zadrego, se je zmehčala.
En: Maja was initially upset, but when she saw Luka's sincere apology and slight embarrassment, she softened.

Sl: "Luka, ne sekiraj se.
En: "Luka, don't worry.

Sl: Babica bi se smejala tako kot Ana," je dejala Maja in pomirljivo potrepljala Luko po rami.
En: Grandma would laugh just like Ana," Maja said soothingly and patted Luka on the shoulder.

Sl: Da bi popravil svojo napako, je Luka skočil do najbližjega stojala s sladoledom in kupil največje kepice sladoleda za vse.
En: To make up for his mistake, Luka rushed to the nearest ice cream stand and bought the biggest scoops of ice cream for everyone.

Sl: Ko so uživali v sladkosti in se smejali dogodivščini, je postalo jasno, da bo ta piknik v Tivoliju ostal v njihovem spominu kot dan poln smeha in prijateljstva.
En: As they enjoyed the sweetness and laughed about the incident, it became clear that this picnic in Tivoli would be remembered as a day full of laughter and friendship.

Sl: Piknik se je končal s srečnim izidom, prijatelji pa so se strinjali, da bo njihova naslednja pustolovščina malo manj ptičja in malo več previdna.
En: The picnic ended on a happy note, and the friends agreed that their next adventure would be a little less bird-related and a bit more cautious.

Sl: Maja je odložila svoj okrašen klobuček v torbo, Ana si je dala jajce za ušesa in Luka je obljubil, da bo naslednjič bolj pozoren.
En: Maja put her decorated hat back in her bag, Ana put the egg behind her ears, and Luka promised to be more attentive next time.

Sl: Zadovoljni in polni novih zgodb za pripovedovanje so se prijatelji poslovili in že načrtovali svoj naslednji izlet po čudoviti Ljubljani.
En: Satisfied and full of new stories to tell, the friends bid farewell and already started planning their next trip around beautiful Ljubljana.

Sl: Luka je pomislil, da bo v prihodnje morda raje občudoval lepoto mestnih ptic, ne da bi poskušal postati del njihovega sveta.
En: Luka thought that in the future, he might just admire the beauty of the city's birds without trying to become a part of their world.
