Story Transcript:
Hr: Luka je sjedio u kafiću na uskoj ulici u Dubrovniku, u Starom Gradu.
En: Luka was sitting in a café in a narrow street in Dubrovnik's Old Town.
Hr: Sunce je blistalo nad kamenim kućama, a more se nježno ljuljalo u pozadini.
En: The sun shone brightly over the stone houses, and the sea gently swayed in the background.
Hr: Bio je zadovoljan svojim mjestom – hladovina, pogled na ljude koji prolaze, i njegov omiljeni sendvič ispred njega.
En: He was satisfied with his spot—shade, a view of people passing by, and his favorite sandwich in front of him.
Hr: To je bila savršena pauza od šetnji po gradu.
En: It was a perfect break from strolling around the city.
Hr: Kafić je bio pun turista, ali Luka je uspio pronaći miran kutak.
En: The café was full of tourists, but Luka managed to find a quiet corner.
Hr: Ivana, vesela konobarica sa znatiželjnim sjajem u očima, stalno je promatrala goste.
En: Ivana, the cheerful waitress with a curious gleam in her eyes, constantly observed the guests.
Hr: Posebno voljela gledati zabavne situacije s turistima.
En: She particularly enjoyed watching amusing situations with tourists.
Hr: „Mmm, ovdje je lijepo“, pomisli Luka dok je uzimao prvi zalogaj svog sendviča.
En: "Mmm, it’s nice here," Luka thought as he took the first bite of his sandwich.
Hr: No, netko drugi je isto primijetio njegov sendvič – jedna drska galebica.
En: But someone else had also noticed his sandwich—a cheeky seagull.
Hr: Približila se polako, očiju uprtih u njegov obrok.
En: It approached slowly, eyes fixed on his meal.
Hr: „Hej!
En: "Hey!
Hr: Ovo je moj ručak!
En: This is my lunch!"
Hr: “ zaprepastio se Luka, mašući rukama da otjera pticu.
En: Luka exclaimed, waving his hands to shoo the bird away.
Hr: Galebica se povukla malo unatrag, ali nije odustajala.
En: The seagull retreated a little but didn't give up.
Hr: Naprotiv, činilo se da je tek započela svoju igru.
En: On the contrary, it seemed like it was just starting its game.
Hr: Ivana je sve to promatrala kroz smiješak.
En: Ivana watched everything with a smile.
Hr: Vidjela je kako se Luka trudio na sve moguće načine otjerati galebicu.
En: She saw Luka trying every possible way to scare off the seagull.
Hr: Prvo je pokušao pričati s njom, kao da je čovjek, zatim se prvačio rukama kao ptica-plašilo.
En: First, he tried talking to it as if it were a person, then he flapped his arms like a scarecrow.
Hr: „Možeš probati s ovim“, rekla je Ivana, donoseći mu malu zdjelu s vodom.
En: "You can try this," Ivana said, bringing him a small bowl of water.
Hr: „Galebovi vole svježinu, odmaknut će se.
En: "Seagulls like freshness, they'll move away."
Hr: “Luka je zahvalno prihvatio ideju.
En: Luka gratefully accepted the idea.
Hr: Izlio je malo vode na kraj stola, ali to nije baš pomoglo.
En: He poured some water at the edge of the table, but it didn't quite work.
Hr: Galebica je bila uporni borac.
En: The seagull was a persistent fighter.
Hr: Publika iz kafića sada je s osmijehom pratila njegovu malu avanturu.
En: The café audience now watched his little adventure with smiles.
Hr: I tada, u posljednjem pokušaju obrane svog ručka, Luka je nehotično bacio komad sendviča preblizu Ivani.
En: And then, in a final attempt to defend his lunch, Luka accidentally threw a piece of the sandwich too close to Ivana.
Hr: Galebica je iskoristila priliku i poletjela prema zalogaju.
En: The seagull seized the opportunity and flew towards the morsel.
Hr: Ivana se nasmijala, a Luka joj se pridružio.
En: Ivana laughed, and Luka joined her.
Hr: „Pa, nema veze, bar smo se nasmijali“, rekao je Luka, gledajući u Ivanu.
En: "Oh well, at least we had a laugh," Luka said, looking at Ivana.
Hr: Oboje su uživali u trenutku dobrog raspoloženja.
En: They both enjoyed the moment of good humor.
Hr: „Ovo nije kraj, gospodine Luka“, rekla je Ivana, odlazeći po malu nagradu za njegovu nevolju.
En: "This isn't the end, Mr. Luka," Ivana said, going to fetch a small reward for his trouble.
Hr: Vratila se s tanjurom toplog kolača, što je izmamilo osmijeh na Lukinom licu.
En: She returned with a plate of warm cake, which brought a smile to Luka’s face.
Hr: Unatoč krađi njegovog ručka, dan se pretvorio u lijepo iskustvo za oboje.
En: Despite the theft of his lunch, the day turned into a pleasant experience for both of them.
Hr: Luka je naučio vrednovati neočekivane situacije na odmoru, a Ivana je pronašla zadovoljstvo u svakodnevnim trenucima svog posla.
En: Luka learned to appreciate unexpected situations on vacation, and Ivana found joy in the everyday moments of her job.
Hr: U središtu Dubrovnika, pod ljetnim nebom, njihovo je prijateljstvo procvjetalo kroz smijeh i avanture s galebima.
En: In the heart of Dubrovnik, under the summer sky, their friendship blossomed through laughter and adventures with seagulls.
