Story Transcript:

Sl: Neža je veselo žvižgala, ko je korakala po sončni Ljubljani.
En: Neža happily whistled as she walked through sunny Ljubljana.

Sl: Širok nasmeh ji je krasil obraz, saj je preživljala dan s svojima najboljšima prijateljema, Majo in Lukom.
En: A wide smile adorned her face as she spent the day with her best friends, Maja and Luka.

Sl: Na poti so bili v nakupovalno središče, kjer so imeli veliko razprodajo, ki je Nežo še posebej razveseljevala.
En: They were on their way to a shopping center where a big sale was taking place, which particularly excited Neža.

Sl: "Neža, pazi, da ne boš preveč zapravila," je v šali rekla Maja, ko so vstopali skozi velika steklena vrata.
En: "Neža, be careful not to spend too much," Maja jokingly said as they entered through the large glass doors.

Sl: A prav ta vrata so Neži kmalu postala sovražnik.
En: But soon, those very doors became Neža's enemy.

Sl: Ko je Neža vstopila v vrtljiva vrata nakupovalnega središča, se je nenadoma vse ustavilo.
En: As she walked into the revolving doors of the shopping center, everything suddenly stopped.

Sl: Bila je ujeta!
En: She was trapped!

Sl: Neža je potiskala vrata naprej, a se niso premaknila.
En: Neža pushed the doors forward, but they wouldn't budge.

Sl: Maja in Luka sta se za hip zmedeno spogledala, nato pa je Maja poskusila zadrževati smeh, ko je rekla: "O, Neža, ti in tvoje dogodivščine.
En: Maja and Luka glanced at each other in confusion for a moment before Maja tried to contain her laughter and said, "Oh, Neža, you and your adventures."

Sl: ""Ne smej se, pomagaj mi raje!
En: "Don't laugh, help me instead!"

Sl: " je zahtevala Neža, v očeh pa se ji je pojavil pridih panike.
En: demanded Neža, a hint of panic in her eyes.

Sl: Luka, ki je bil vedno malce bolj tehnično podkovan, je skočil k vratom in začel preverjati mehanizem.
En: Luka, who was always a bit more technically savvy, rushed to the doors and began checking the mechanism.

Sl: "Mislim, da je zadeva zablokirala," je povedal, a ko je to rekel, se ni mogel izogniti smehu.
En: "I think it's jammed," he said, but even as he spoke, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Sl: "Zares sem vesela, da vam je zabavno," je Neža poskušala ostati resna, a tudi njej je bilo vse skupaj kmalu smešno.
En: "I'm glad you find this amusing," Neža tried to stay serious, but soon, she found it funny as well.

Sl: Nato je Maja dobila idejo.
En: Then Maja had an idea.

Sl: "Luka, ti potisni vrata od zunaj, jaz bom pa šla po pomoč.
En: "Luka, push the doors from the outside, I'll go get help."

Sl: " In Luka je potiskal, Neža pa se je potrudila pomagati od znotraj.
En: And while Luka pushed, Neža tried to help from the inside.

Sl: Med vsemi poskusi je mimo prišel varnostnik in opazil njihovo težavo.
En: Amidst all their efforts, a security guard passed by and noticed their predicament.

Sl: "O, ne skrbite, to se občasno zgodi," je rekel varnostnik in iz žepa potegnil ključ.
En: "Don't worry, this happens occasionally," said the security guard, pulling out a key from his pocket.

Sl: Z nekaj obrati ključa so se vrata spet premaknila in Neža je zdrsnila ven kot mazljiva ribica.
En: With a few turns of the key, the doors started moving again, and Neža slipped out like a slippery fish.

Sl: "Prosta sem!
En: "I'm free!"

Sl: " je zavpila in zaplesala po hodniku.
En: she exclaimed and danced down the hallway.

Sl: Vsi trije so planili v smeh in nadaljevali pot po nakupovalnem centru, a tokrat so izbrali običajna vrata.
En: All three burst into laughter and continued their journey through the shopping center, but this time, they chose the regular doors.

Sl: "Od zdaj naprej," je rekla Neža, "bom pazila na katera vrata vstopam.
En: "From now on," Neža said, "I'll pay attention to which doors I enter."

Sl: "Dan so preživeli v smehu in zabavi, Nežino pustolovščino so obujali še dolgo v noč.
En: They spent the day in laughter and fun, and Neža's adventure was recounted long into the night.

Sl: Bila je le še ena izmed zgodb, ki jih bodo lahko pripovedovali svojim prihodnjim prijateljem – o dnevu, ko so življenje v Ljubljani zajeli z veliko mero humorja.
En: It was just one of the stories they would be able to tell their future friends – about the day when they embraced life in Ljubljana with a lot of humor.
