Story Transcript:

Sl: Sonce je žarelo nad Blejskim jezerom, ko so se Eva, Jure in Zala posedli na travo ob obali.
En: The sun blazed over Lake Bled as Eva, Jure, and Zala settled on the grass by the shore.

Sl: Voda je bila mirna in bistra, popolna za vroč poletni dan.
En: The water was calm and clear, perfect for a hot summer day.

Sl: Eva je skrivaj opazovala Jureta, ki je ravno pokazal svoje mišice in pogumno skočil v jezero.
En: Eva secretly watched Jure, who had just shown off his muscles and bravely jumped into the lake.

Sl: "Jure, pazi se," je rekla Zala.
En: "Jure, be careful," Zala said.

Sl: "Vem, da uživaš, ampak ne pozabi na svojo astmo.
En: "I know you're enjoying yourself, but don't forget about your asthma."

Sl: "Jure ji je pomahal in se zasmejal.
En: Jure waved at her and laughed.

Sl: "Ne skrbi, Zala!
En: "Don't worry, Zala!

Sl: Najprej bom dosegel cerkev na otoku in nato se vrnil.
En: I'll reach the church on the island first and then come back."

Sl: "Eva je bila živčna.
En: Eva was nervous.

Sl: Rada je imela Jureta, a nikoli ni imela poguma, da bi mu to povedala.
En: She had feelings for Jure but never had the courage to tell him.

Sl: Danes je bil morda njen dan.
En: Today might be her day.

Sl: Zala je sproščeno sedela ob obali ter se zavedala svoje vloge skrbnice.
En: Zala sat relaxed by the shore, fully aware of her role as a caretaker.

Sl: Študirala je medicino in vedela je, da mora biti pripravljena na vse.
En: She was studying medicine and knew she had to be prepared for anything.

Sl: Jure je odplaval hitro in pogumno.
En: Jure swam quickly and confidently.

Sl: Vendar, ko je bil že daleč od obale, se je nenadoma ustavil.
En: However, when he was already far from the shore, he suddenly stopped.

Sl: Njegovi gibi so postali panični, začel je loviti sapo.
En: His movements became frantic, and he started gasping for air.

Sl: "Zala!
En: "Zala!

Sl: Eva!
En: Eva!

Sl: Ne morem dihati!
En: I can't breathe!"

Sl: " je zakričal Jure.
En: Jure shouted.

Sl: Eva je brez pomisleka skočila v vodo.
En: Without hesitation, Eva jumped into the water.

Sl: Njeno srce je bilo polno strahu, a tudi odločnosti.
En: Her heart was full of fear but also determination.

Sl: Ni bila močna plavalka, a ljubezen ji je dala moč.
En: She wasn't a strong swimmer, but love gave her strength.

Sl: Valovi so postajali vse večji, ko se je približevala Juretu.
En: The waves grew larger as she approached Jure.

Sl: Zala je takoj stekla do bližnjih ribičev ob obali.
En: Zala immediately ran to the nearby fishermen on the shore.

Sl: "Pomagajte!
En: "Help!

Sl: Potrebujemo vaš čoln.
En: We need your boat.

Sl: Moj prijatelj ima težave!
En: My friend is in trouble!"

Sl: "Ribiči so hitro razumeli resnost situacije in se podali v akcijo.
En: The fishermen quickly understood the urgency of the situation and sprang into action.

Sl: Medtem je Eva dosegla Jureta, vendar je bila že izčrpana.
En: Meanwhile, Eva reached Jure but was already exhausted.

Sl: "Dihaj, Jure!
En: "Breathe, Jure!

Sl: Drži se!
En: Hold on!"

Sl: " Eva je zakričala, a tudi sama je bila na robu moči.
En: Eva shouted, but she was also at the brink of her strength.

Sl: Valovi so ju premetavali, vendar je Eva uspela nekako držati Jureta nad vodo.
En: The waves tossed them around, but Eva managed to keep Jure's head above water somehow.

Sl: Čoln z Zalo in ribiči je končno prispel.
En: The boat with Zala and the fishermen finally arrived.

Sl: Zala je bila pripravljena s prvo pomočjo.
En: Zala was ready with first aid.

Sl: Ribiči so hitro potegnili oba v čoln, Zala pa je nemudoma začela pomagati Juretu z inhalatorjem.
En: The fishermen quickly pulled both of them into the boat, and Zala began helping Jure with his inhaler immediately.

Sl: Ko so se vrnili na obalo, je Jure lažje dihal.
En: When they returned to the shore, Jure was breathing easier.

Sl: "Hvala, Eva.
En: "Thank you, Eva.

Sl: Rešila si me," je rekel Jure s hvaležnostjo in solzami v očeh.
En: You saved me," Jure said with gratitude and tears in his eyes.

Sl: Eva se je nasmehnila in ga nežno objela.
En: Eva smiled and gently hugged him.

Sl: "Nisem mogla kar gledati," je rekla tiho.
En: "I couldn't just watch," she said softly.

Sl: Zala se jim je pridružila, zadovoljna, da je vsega konec.
En: Zala joined them, relieved that it was all over.

Sl: "Tako smo prijatelji.
En: "That's what friends are for.

Sl: Vedno bomo skrbeli drug za drugega.
En: We'll always look out for each other."

Sl: "Tisti dan se je končal s tihim občudovanjem prelepih barv sončnega zahoda nad jezerom Bled.
En: That day ended with a quiet admiration of the beautiful colors of the sunset over Lake Bled.

Sl: Jure je razumel, kako dragoceno je zdravje in prijatelji.
En: Jure understood how precious health and friends are.

Sl: Eva je končno dobila pogum, da pokaže svoja čustva.
En: Eva finally found the courage to show her feelings.

Sl: Zala pa je postala še bolj odločena, da postane zdravnica, ki bo lahko pomagala v vsakem trenutku.
En: And Zala became even more determined to become a doctor who could help at any moment.

Sl: Njihovo prijateljstvo je postalo še močnejše.
En: Their friendship grew stronger.

En: Lake Bled became a place where they not only found peace but also courage and love.
