En: The audience smiled, and children excitedly pointed at the turns and jumps in the water.

Hr: Iznenada, među mirisima mora i povicima djece, dolazi vrisak.
En: Suddenly, amidst the scent of the sea and the shouts of children, a scream rang out.

Hr: Neki posjetitelj, stariji gospodin, srušio se u gomili.
En: Some visitor, an elderly gentleman, collapsed in the crowd.

Hr: Panika je zavladala.
En: Panic ensued.

Hr: Ljudi su se počeli gurati i nervozno šaptati, neki su izvlačili mobitele, tražeći pomoć.

En: Ivana knew she had to act fast.

Hr: Skupila je hrabrost i duboko udahnula, premda je govor pred publikom bio njezin strah.
En: She gathered her courage and took a deep breath, even though speaking to a crowd was her fear.

Hr: “Molim vas, smirite se i povucite se!
En: "Please, calm down and step back!"

Hr: ”, viknula je, glasne riječi odjekivale su zrakom.
En: she shouted, her loud words echoing in the air.

Hr: Međutim, jedna ruka već se spuštala prema čovjeku na tlu.
En: However, a hand was already reaching toward the man on the ground.

Hr: Bila je to Tanja, prijateljica Mira, koja je također došla u akvarij tog dana.
En: It was Tanja, a friend of Miro, who had also come to the aquarium that day.

Hr: Njeno iskustvo medicinske sestre odmah je došlo do izražaja.
En: Her experience as a nurse immediately became evident.

Hr: Počela je pružati prvu pomoć.
En: She began administering first aid.

Hr: “Pomažem Tanja!
En: "I'm helping, Tanja!"

Hr: ”, Miro je uzviknuo, unatoč tjeskobi koja se valjala u njemu.
En: Miro shouted, despite the anxiety churning within him.

Hr: "Svi korak nazad, dajući prostor Tanjinim stručnim rukama.
En: "Everyone, step back, giving space for Tanja's skilled hands."

Hr: " Pokušavao je održati mir među posjetiteljima, iako je stezanje u njegovom grudima bilo teško zanemariti.
En: He tried to maintain calm among the visitors, even though the tightness in his chest was hard to ignore.

Hr: Tanjin vježbani pokreti donijeli su kratki trenutak tišine.
En: Tanja's practiced movements brought a brief moment of silence.

Hr: Ivana je kleknula pored nje, nudeći dodatnu podršku i upute.
En: Ivana knelt beside her, offering additional support and guidance.

Hr: “Dobro si, drži ovako,” šaptala je, koristeći svoje znanje da olakša Tanjin zadatak.
En: "You're doing well, hold it like that," she whispered, using her knowledge to ease Tanja's task.

Hr: Nakon napete minute, uznemirenost je popuštala.
En: After a tense minute, the agitation eased.

Hr: Tanja je uspješno stabilizirala čovjeka, a nekoliko trenutaka kasnije stigla je hitna pomoć.
En: Tanja successfully stabilized the man, and a few moments later, the ambulance arrived.

Hr: U tom trenu mir se počeo vraćati u akvarij.
En: In that moment, peace began to return to the aquarium.

Hr: Publika je s olakšanjem promatrala kako se čovjek prenosi na nosilima, dok je pljesak ispunio zrak.
En: The audience watched with relief as the man was carried out on a stretcher, while applause filled the air.

Hr: Ivana je osjećala olakšanje i ponos.
En: Ivana felt relief and pride.

Hr: Prebrodila je svoj strah i odradila važan posao.
En: She had overcome her fear and done an important job.

Hr: Dok su posjetitelji ponovno sjedali, dupini su krenuli u nastavak predstave.
En: As the visitors sat back down, the dolphins resumed their performance.

Hr: Njihovo veselo skakutanje smirilo je napete živce.
En: Their cheerful leaping calmed the frayed nerves.

Hr: Ivana je osjetila novi val samopouzdanja, a Tanja je odlučno pomislila da bi mogla iskoristiti svoju medicinsku vještinu u marinskoj biologiji.
En: Ivana felt a new wave of confidence, and Tanja resolutely thought she could apply her medical skills in marine biology.

Hr: Miro je osjetio kako su mu snažne odluke pomogle nositi se sa strahom.
En: Miro felt how his strong decisions helped him cope with fear.

Hr: Svjetla akvarija još su sjala, a Rijeka Aquarium ostao je živ i sigurno mjesto za sve koji ga posjećuju.
En: The aquarium lights still shone, and the Rijeka Aquarium remained a lively and safe place for all who visited.

Hr: Njezina omiljena bila je škarpina.
En: Her favorite was škarpina.

Hr: Zamišljao je kako bi krasila njenu malu dnevnu sobu, donoseći djelić mora unutra.
En: He imagined how it would adorn her small living room, bringing a piece of the sea inside.

Hr: Jednog dana, Luka odluči posjetiti Akvarij u Splitu.
En: One day, Luka decided to visit the Aquarium in Split.

En: This coffee will impress them," she said, and the passion in her voice was undeniable.

Hr: Petar je vidio odlučnost u očima mlade entuzijastkinje.
En: Petar saw the determination in the young enthusiast's eyes.

Hr: U namjeri da je testira, ponudio je: "Ako mi opišeš cijeli profil okusa do kraja, dobit ćeš mali uzorak.

Hr: "Ivana je uzela izazov.

Hr: "Vidim da si prava znalica.
En: "I see you're a true connoisseur.

Hr: Ovo je malo za tebe", rekao je, pružajući joj vrećicu uzorka.

Hr: "Ali izvoli i pomiješaj je s našom robusta mješavinom.
En: "But here you go, and mix it with our robusta blend.

Hr: Biće još bolje.
En: It will be even better."

Hr: "Ivana i Klara napustile su pržionicu s osmijehom i vrećicama u ruci.

Hr: Izvukla je starinski ključ.

Hr: "Smugglers!
En: "Smugglers!"

Hr: " uzviknula je Ivana.

En: "Could the key be part of that?"

Hr: " Dvojac je svoj pronalazak podijelio s vlasnikom pržionice.
