Story Transcript:

Sl: Nekega lepega sončnega dne so se Urban, Ana in Marko odločili za obisk Ljubljanskega gradu.
En: On a beautiful sunny day, Urban, Ana, and Marko decided to visit Ljubljana Castle.

Sl: Grad, ki kraljuje na griču sredi Ljubljane, je bil poln zanimivih zgodb in skrivnosti.
En: The castle, which reigns over the hill in the middle of Ljubljana, was full of interesting stories and secrets.

Sl: Urban, ki je bil vedno poln avanturističnega duha, je predlagal, da se povzpnejo na najvišji stolp gradu.
En: Urban, always full of adventurous spirit, suggested climbing to the top tower of the castle.

Sl: Ana, previdna in modra, je oklevala, ampak Marko, vedno pripravljen na izziv, je bil navdušen nad idejo.
En: Ana, cautious and wise, hesitated, but Marko, always ready for a challenge, was excited about the idea.

Sl: Tako so se trije prijatelji podali po ozkih kamnitih stopnicah proti vrhu stolpa.
En: So the three friends set off on narrow stone stairs towards the top of the tower.

Sl: Ko so dosegli vrh in občudovali razgled nad mestom, se je nenadoma zgodilo nekaj nepričakovanega.
En: When they reached the top and admired the view over the city, something unexpected happened.

Sl: Stara lesena vrata stolpa, skozi katera so vstopili, so se z močnim sunkom vetra zaloputnila in Urban je ostal ujet na stolpu.
En: The old wooden door of the tower, through which they had entered, slammed shut with a strong gust of wind, and Urban was left trapped in the tower.

Sl: Ana in Marko, ki sta bila še na stopnicah, sta hitro začutila tesnobo v zraku.
En: Ana and Marko, who were still on the stairs, quickly felt the tension in the air.

Sl: "Urban, si v redu?
En: "Urban, are you okay?"

Sl: " je zaklicala Ana, njena glas je odmeval off kamnitih sten.
En: shouted Ana, her voice echoing off the stone walls.

Sl: Urban jim je skozi majhno okno odgovoril: "V redu sem, ampak ne morem odpreti vrat.
En: Through a small window, Urban responded, "I'm okay, but I can't open the door.

Sl: Zagozdila so se!
En: It's stuck!"

Sl: "Ana in Marko sta se spustila nazaj dol po stopnicah in iskala pomoč.
En: Ana and Marko hurried back down the stairs and sought help.

Sl: Našla sta varnostnika, ki je hitro prišel s ključem in jim pomagal odpreti vrata.
En: They found a security guard, who quickly arrived with a key and helped them open the door.

Sl: Urban je bil rešen in ko so stali skupaj na varnem, so se smejali in bili hvaležni za prijateljstvo, ki jih je združilo v tej majhni pustolovščini.
En: Urban was saved, and as they stood together safely, they laughed and were grateful for the friendship that united them in this small adventure.

Sl: Skupaj so se odpravili v grajsko kavarno, kjer so povedali svojo zgodbo in odslej je vsak obisk gradu za njih pomenil spomin na dan, ko so skupaj premagali majhno krizo na vrhu Ljubljanskega gradu.
En: Together, they went to the castle café, where they shared their story, and from then on, every visit to the castle was a memory of the day when they overcame a small crisis together at the top of Ljubljana Castle.
