Story Transcript:

Hr: Zimsko sunce probijalo je oblake, stvarajući sjaj na snježnoj podlozi oko poljske bolnice.
En: The winter sun broke through the clouds, creating a glow on the snowy ground around the field hospital.

Hr: Bio je to dan školske predstave, i obiteljima iz cijele zajednice lica su bila ispunjena uzbuđenjem.
En: It was the day of the school play, and families from the entire community had faces filled with excitement.

Hr: Bijeli šatori poljske bolnice stajali su kao tiha straža, spremni za svaki slučaj.
En: The white tents of the field hospital stood as a silent guard, ready for any eventuality.

Hr: Ivan je stajao ispred jednog šatora, promatrajući okupljene ljude.
En: Ivan stood in front of one of the tents, observing the gathered people.

Hr: Bio je student medicine, volonter, i iako je bio predan i marljiv, osjećao je nesigurnost.
En: He was a medical student, a volunteer, and although he was dedicated and diligent, he felt uncertain.

Hr: Svaka situacija mogla je postati hitna, i on je želio dokazati sebi da će se snaći.
En: Any situation could become urgent, and he wanted to prove to himself that he would manage.

Hr: U tom trenutku, kroz gomilu koja se kretala pored šatora, začuo je tihi plač.
En: At that moment, through the crowd moving past the tent, he heard a quiet sobbing.

Hr: Bio je to Marin, malen dječak sa smeđim kovrčama, odvojen od svojih roditelja.
En: It was Marin, a small boy with brown curls, separated from his parents.

Hr: Izgubljen je i preplašen, suze su mu klizile niz obraze.
En: He was lost and frightened, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Hr: Ivan se sagnuo prema njemu.
En: Ivan bent down towards him.

Hr: "Bok, ja sam Ivan.
En: "Hi, I'm Ivan.

Hr: Jesi li se izgubio?
En: Are you lost?"

Hr: " upitao je blagim glasom.
En: he asked in a gentle voice.

Hr: Marin je kimnuo glavom, oči mu pune straha.
En: Marin nodded, his eyes full of fear.

Hr: Ivan je osjetio kako mu se srce steže, odlučio je da mora pomoći.
En: Ivan felt his heart tighten and decided he must help.

Hr: Iako se očekivalo da Ivan ostane na svom zadatku, on se odlučio posvetiti Marinu.
En: Although it was expected for Ivan to remain at his post, he chose to dedicate himself to Marin.

Hr: "Hajdemo pronaći tvoje roditelje," rekao je, nježno uhvativši maleno ruku.
En: "Let's find your parents," he said, gently taking the little hand.

Hr: Zajedno su krenuli kroz užurbanu masu.
En: Together they moved through the bustling crowd.

Hr: Ivan se sjetio onoga što je naučio – ostati miran i držati stvari pod kontrolom.
En: Ivan remembered what he had learned—to stay calm and keep things under control.

Hr: Pričao je s Marinom, pokušavajući ga smiriti.
En: He talked to Marin, trying to calm him.

Hr: Pričao mu je o životu u bolnici, o snijegu, o zvijezdama koje će se kasnije pojaviti na nebu.
En: He told him about life in the hospital, about the snow, about the stars that would later appear in the sky.

Hr: Nakon nekog vremena, kroz vrevu su začuli poznate glasove.
En: After some time, through the hustle, they heard familiar voices.

Hr: Marinov otac i majka hitali su prema njima, zabrinuti ali sretni kad su ga ugledali.
En: Marin's father and mother were rushing towards them, worried but happy when they saw him.

Hr: Marin je potrčao prema njima, Ivan je osjetio kako mu nestaje težina s ramena.
En: Marin ran towards them, and Ivan felt the weight lift from his shoulders.

Hr: Zahvalili su mu, vidno dirnuti, i držeći Marinu za ruku, nestali u gužvi.
En: They thanked him, visibly moved, and holding Marin's hand, they disappeared into the crowd.

Hr: Ivan je ostao stajati, osjećajući toplinu i ponos.
En: Ivan remained standing, feeling warmth and pride.

Hr: Toga dana, Ivan je shvatio da ima snagu nositi se s izazovima.
En: That day, Ivan realized he had the strength to face challenges.

Hr: Dok se vraćao prema šatoru, pahulje su počele ponovno padati, prekrivajući tlo.
En: As he returned toward the tent, snowflakes began to fall again, covering the ground.

Hr: Uz osmijeh, Ivan je znao da je spreman za sve što dolazi.
En: With a smile, Ivan knew he was ready for whatever came next.

Hr: Bio je na putu prema tome da postane doktor, a danas je napravio važan korak bliže svom cilju.
En: He was on his way to becoming a doctor, and today he had taken an important step closer to his goal.

Story Transcript:

Hr: Hladni arktički krajolik protezao se koliko oko može vidjeti.
En: The cold Arctic landscape stretched as far as the eye could see.

Hr: Ivana i Krešo boravili su usred ove prostrane tundre, gdje su snijeg i led prekrivali svu zemlju.
En: Ivana and Krešo were staying in the middle of this vast tundra, where snow and ice covered all the land.

Hr: Ivana je godinama proučavala klimatske promjene.
En: Ivana had been studying climate change for years.

Hr: Sada je željela prikupiti dovoljno dokaza da svijet shvati ozbiljnost situacije.
En: Now, she wanted to gather enough evidence to make the world understand the seriousness of the situation.

Hr: Bila je zima, a vrijeme je bilo nemilosrdno.
En: It was winter, and the weather was relentless.

Hr: Vjetrovi su bili jaki, a temperatura je bila ispod nule.
En: The winds were strong, and the temperature was below zero.

Hr: Ivana je stajala uz uređaje za mjerenje, gledajući u sive oblake iznad sebe.
En: Ivana stood by the measuring devices, looking at the gray clouds above her.

Hr: Krešo, s druge strane, bio je oprezan.
En: Krešo, on the other hand, was cautious.

Hr: Iskusni vođa ekspedicije znao je kako su opasni uvjeti Arktika.
En: The experienced expedition leader knew how dangerous Arctic conditions could be.

Hr: "Ivana, moramo biti oprezni.
En: "Ivana, we have to be careful.

Hr: Vrijeme se brzo mijenja," rekao je Krešo, gledajući tmurno nebo.
En: The weather changes quickly," said Krešo, looking at the gloomy sky.

Hr: "Znam, ali ovo je naša šansa.
En: "I know, but this is our chance.

Hr: Moramo uspjeti," odgovorila je odlučno Ivana, no u srcu osjetila je sumnju.
En: We have to succeed," Ivana replied resolutely, yet she felt a doubt in her heart.

Hr: Dok su radili, uvjeti su se pogoršavali.
En: As they worked, the conditions worsened.

Hr: Snijeg je postajao gušći, a vjetar jači.
En: The snow became denser, and the wind stronger.

Hr: Ivanu su sve više obuzimao osjećaj sumnje.
En: Ivana was increasingly overwhelmed by doubt.

Hr: Je li njihovo istraživanje dovoljno snažno da utječe na promjenu?
En: Was their research strong enough to make a difference?

Hr: Dok se borila s instrumentima, oluja je zahvatila tundru.
En: As she struggled with the instruments, a storm swept over the tundra.

Hr: Snijeg je bio toliko gust da se ništa nije moglo vidjeti.
En: The snow was so thick that nothing could be seen.

Hr: Krešo se približio i povikao kroz vjetar: "Bezbednost je najvažnija!
En: Krešo came closer and shouted through the wind: "Safety is the most important!

Hr: Moramo se vratiti!
En: We need to go back!"

Hr: "Ivana je znala da je u pravu, ali srce joj je govorilo drugačije.
En: Ivana knew he was right, but her heart told her otherwise.

Hr: Podaci su bili tako blizu, a opet, Krešova sigurnost bila je ugrožena.
En: The data was so close, yet Krešo's safety was at risk.

Hr: Morala je donijeti tešku odluku.
En: She had to make a tough decision.

Hr: Naposljetku, odlučila je.
En: Finally, she decided.

Hr: Spustila je instrumente i krenula prema Kreši.
En: She put down the instruments and headed towards Krešo.

Hr: "Vratimo se.
En: "Let’s go back.

Hr: Ništa nije važnije od naših života.
En: Nothing is more important than our lives."

Hr: "Dok su se povlačili prema sigurnosti, Ivana je shvatila istinu.
En: As they retreated to safety, Ivana realized the truth.

Hr: Borba protiv klimatskih promjena zahtijeva mudrost, a ne samo hrabrost.
En: The fight against climate change requires wisdom, not just courage.

Hr: Naučila je da se mora brinuti i za druge, kao i za planetu.
En: She learned she must care for others as well as the planet.

Hr: Vratili su se u bazu sigurno.
En: They returned to the base safely.

Hr: Iako je gubitak podataka bio gorak, Ivana je rekla Kreši: "Ovo je tek početak.
En: Although the loss of data was bitter, Ivana told Krešo: "This is just the beginning.

Hr: Pronaći ćemo druge načine za borbu.
En: We will find other ways to fight."

Hr: "Kroz prozor gledali su vani, gdje je oluja i dalje bjesnila, ali unutar svojih srca, vladala je mirna odlučnost.
En: Through the window, they watched outside, where the storm still raged, but within their hearts, there was a calm determination.

Hr: Nasmiješila se, ne samo zbog sadržaja poruke, već zbog toga što ju je osim najbolje profesionalke, čekao i netko tko je znao razumjeti njezinu dušu.
En: She smiled, not just because of the message's content, but because, apart from being the best professional, someone waited for her who understood her soul.

Hr: Luka i Ivana sjedili su zajedno, gledajući dolazeći suton.
En: Luka and Ivana sat together, watching the approaching sunset.

Hr: U napuštenom skladištu, gdje vjetar zavija kroz slomljene prozore, tri prijatelja su neplanirano provela hladan zimski dan.

En: Luka was often anxious, but his heart was big.

Hr: Maja je donosila svjetlost i optimizam, čak i u najmračnijim kutovima.
En: Maja brought light and optimism, even in the darkest corners.

Hr: Dok su šetali skladištem, hladnoća je počela gristi.
En: As they walked through the warehouse, the cold began to bite.

Hr: Staro željezo pokriveno prašinom činilo je prostor još jezivijim.
En: Old iron covered in dust made the place even eerier.

Hr: Antine oči prepravile su svaki detalj u potrazi za korisnim stvarima.
En: Ante's eyes scanned every detail in search of useful things.

Hr: Ali kad je shvatio da su se igrali predugo, Luka je počeo teško disati.
En: But when he realized they had been playing for too long, Luka began to breathe heavily.

Hr: Luka je imao astmu.
En: Luka had asthma.

Hr: Njegovo disanje bilo je lagano pjevušenje, ali ubrzo se transformiralo u borbu za zrak.
En: His breathing was a soft hum, but soon it turned into a struggle for air.

Hr: Ante je odmah bio na nogama, razmišljao je sto na sat.
En: Ante was immediately on his feet, thinking a mile a minute.

Hr: "Ne brini, Luka", rekao je smireno, "mi ćemo ti pomoći.
En: "Don't worry, Luka," he said calmly, "we'll help you."

Hr: "Maja je brzo prišla Luki.
En: Maja quickly approached Luka.

Hr: Uz nježan glas, umirivala ga je.
En: With a gentle voice, she soothed him.

Hr: "Samo diši, Luka.
En: "Just breathe, Luka.

Hr: Sve će biti u redu.
En: Everything will be fine."

Hr: " Rukama ga je grijala i nastojala odvratiti mu misli.
En: She warmed him with her hands and tried to distract his thoughts.

Hr: Ante je shvatio da moraju pronaći nešto što će im pomoći.
En: Ante realized they needed to find something to help.

Hr: U ovakvim trenucima, svaki je trenutak bio kao zlato.
En: In such moments, every moment was like gold.

Hr: Ante je uputio Maju da ostane s Lukom dok on započinje potragu.
En: Ante instructed Maja to stay with Luka while he began his search.

Hr: Kroz mračnu unutrašnjost skladišta, Ante je tražio bilo što korisno.
En: Through the dark interior of the warehouse, Ante looked for anything useful.

Hr: Njegovo srce je kucalo u ritmu Lukiina daha.
En: His heart beat in rhythm with Luka's breath.

Hr: U kutu, pronašao je staru peć i neke pokrivače.
En: In a corner, he found an old stove and some blankets.

Hr: Bio je to poput svjetla na kraju tunela.
En: It was like a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hr: Vratio se brzo, upalio peć i omotao Luku u pokrivače.
En: He quickly returned, lit the stove, and wrapped Luka in the blankets.

Hr: Toplina je polako ispunjavala prostor.
En: The warmth slowly filled the space.

Hr: Luka je počeo osjećati kako se u plućima vraća mir.
En: Luka began to feel calm returning to his lungs.

Hr: "Uspjeli smo!
En: "We did it!"

Hr: ", rekla je Maja veselo.
En: Maja said cheerfully.

Hr: Njihovi osmijesi svijetlili su u tami poput krijesnica.
En: Their smiles shone in the darkness like fireflies.

Hr: Kako se skladište punilo toplinom, Ante je shvatio važnost brzine i timskog rada.
En: As the warehouse filled with warmth, Ante realized the importance of speed and teamwork.

Hr: Naučio je lekciju koju će uvijek pamtiti.
En: He learned a lesson he would always remember.

Hr: Maja je držala Luku za ruku, i svi su zajedno čekali pomoć.
En: Maja held Luka's hand, and they all waited together for help.

Hr: Taj dan bio je drugačiji.
En: That day was different.

Hr: Naučili su koliko je važno imati prave ljude uz sebe u teškim trenucima.
En: They learned how important it is to have the right people with you in difficult times.

Hr: Skladište je možda bilo mračno i hladno, ali njihovo prijateljstvo nije.
En: The warehouse might have been dark and cold, but their friendship was not.

Hr: Njihova priča ondje završava, s nadom i zajedništvom.

Story Transcript:

Hr: Bila je hladna zimska večer.
En: It was a cold winter evening.

Hr: Zrake mjesečine ulazile su kroz napuknute prozore napuštenog skladišta.
En: Moonlight rays filtered through the cracked windows of the abandoned warehouse.

Hr: U kutu, Luka, Ivana i Karlo sjedili su na starim drvenim kutijama.
En: In the corner, Luka, Ivana, and Karlo sat on old wooden boxes.

Hr: Njihova misija?
En: Their mission?

Hr: Dovršiti školski projekt na vrijeme.
En: To finish the school project on time.

Hr: Luka je osjećao težinu odgovornosti.
En: Luka felt the weight of responsibility.

Hr: Želio je da projekt bude savršen i da impresionira učitelja.
En: He wanted the project to be perfect and to impress the teacher.

Hr: Ivana je imala crveni šal oko vrata i rukavice na rukama.
En: Ivana had a red scarf around her neck and gloves on her hands.

Hr: Dugo je gledala u Luku, pokušavajući skupiti hrabrost da mu kaže što osjeća.
En: She looked at Luka for a long time, trying to gather the courage to tell him how she felt.

Hr: No, hladnoća i sjene stvarale su joj nelagodu.
En: But the cold and the shadows made her uneasy.

Hr: Karlo je ležerno razgledavao okolo, često pronalazeći način da nasmije prijatelje.
En: Karlo casually looked around, always finding a way to make his friends laugh.

Hr: "Moramo završiti ovo večeras," Luka je rekao odlučno.
En: "We have to finish this tonight," Luka said decisively.

Hr: "Vrijeme curi."
En: "Time is ticking."

Hr: Ali svjetlost u skladištu bila je slaba, a hladan zrak sve je više ulazio kroz pukotine u zidovima.
En: But the light in the warehouse was dim, and the cold air increasingly crept through the cracks in the walls.

Hr: Vidjela se para iz njihovih usta dok su razgovarali.
En: You could see the mist from their breath as they talked.

Hr: Ivana je rukama protrljala obraze kako bi se ugrijala.
En: Ivana rubbed her cheeks with her hands to warm herself up.

Hr: "Možda bismo trebali negdje drugdje," rekla je tiho Ivana, no Luka ju nije htio čuti.
En: "Maybe we should go somewhere else," Ivana said quietly, but Luka didn't want to listen.

Hr: Bio je fokusiran na zadatak.
En: He was focused on the task.

Hr: Karlo je primijetio napetost.
En: Karlo noticed the tension.

Hr: "Ivana ima pravo," rekao je Karlo, pokušavajući smiriti situaciju.
En: "Ivana is right," said Karlo, trying to calm the situation.

Hr: "Ovdje ne možemo ni pročitati vlastiti rukopis."
En: "We can't even read our own handwriting here."

Hr: U tom trenutku, svjetla su iznenada zatreperila i nestala.
En: At that moment, the lights suddenly flickered and went out.

Hr: Cijelo skladište utopilo se u mraku.
En: The entire warehouse was engulfed in darkness.

Hr: Luka je uzdahnuo.
En: Luka sighed.

Hr: Srce mu je brže kucalo; morao je brzo odlučiti.
En: His heart beat faster; he had to decide quickly.

Hr: "Ivana, gdje predlažeš da idemo?" upitao je Luka, napokon svjestan koliko je situacija neodrživa.
En: "Ivana, where do you suggest we go?" Luka asked, finally aware of how untenable the situation was.

Hr: Ivana je skupila hrabrost.
En: Ivana gathered her courage.

Hr: "U onaj mali kafić iza ugla.
En: "To that small café around the corner.

Hr: Topao je i svijetao."
En: It's warm and bright."

Hr: Luka je klimnuo glavom.
En: Luka nodded.

Hr: "Idemo."
En: "Let's go."

Hr: Dok su hodali prema kafiću, Ivana i Luka su šetali blizu jedno uz drugo.
En: As they walked towards the café, Ivana and Luka walked close to each other.

Hr: Kroz paravan od bijelog daha, Ivana mu je šaptala svoje osjećaje, ovoga puta hrabrije.
En: Through a veil of white breath, Ivana whispered her feelings more bravely this time.

Hr: "Sviđaš mi se, Luka."
En: "I like you, Luka."

Hr: Luka je zastao, pogledao je zagrlio.
En: Luka stopped, looked at her, and hugged her.
