Sr: Visoka stabla Tara Nacionalnog Parka su šuštala na letnjem povetarcu.
En: The tall trees of Tara National Park rustled in the summer breeze.

Sr: Miloš i Vesna su hodali pažljivo, prateći zvukove prirode.
En: Miloš and Vesna walked carefully, following the sounds of nature.

Sr: Miloš je bio uzbuđen.
En: Miloš was excited.

Sr: "Vesna, čuo sam za tajni deo parka.
En: "Vesna, I've heard about a hidden part of the park.

Sr: Reka je kristalno čista.
En: The river is crystal clear.

Sr: Drugi deo šume je netaknut.
En: The other part of the forest is untouched."

Sr: " Vesna je pogledala narukvicu sa satom.
En: Vesna glanced at her wristwatch.

Sr: "Miloše, imamo samo nekoliko sati pre mraka.
En: "Miloš, we only have a few hours before dark.

Sr: Jesi siguran?
En: Are you sure?"

Sr: "Posmatrajući njegov osmehu, Vesna je uzdahnula.
En: Observing his smile, Vesna sighed.

Sr: "Uredu, ali moramo biti pažljivi.
En: "Alright, but we must be careful."

Sr: " Krenuli su sa staze.
En: They ventured off the trail.

Sr: Žbunje i kamenje su činili put teškim.
En: The bushes and rocks made the path difficult.

Sr: "Jesmo li na pravom putu?
En: "Are we on the right path?"

Sr: ", pitala je Vesna, osećajući nelagodnost.
En: Vesna asked, feeling uneasy.

Sr: "Naravno, samo malo dalje", odgovorio je Miloš.
En: "Of course, just a little further," Miloš replied.

Sr: Korak po korak, probijali su se kroz gustu šumu.
En: Step by step, they made their way through the dense forest.

Sr: Vesna je stalno proveravala sat.
En: Vesna constantly checked her watch.

Sr: "Miloše, mrak se spušta.
En: "Miloš, darkness is falling.

Sr: Treba da se vratimo.
En: We need to head back."

Sr: "Miloš je zastao, razmišljajući.
En: Miloš stopped, thinking.

Sr: "Još malo, Vesna.
En: "Just a bit more, Vesna.

Sr: Veruj mi, vrednije je nego što misliš.
En: Trust me, it's more worthwhile than you think."

Sr: " Iako zabrinuta, Vesna je nastavila sa njim.
En: Although worried, Vesna continued with him.

Sr: Na kraju, stigli su do prekrasnog mesta.
En: Finally, they reached a breathtaking spot.

Sr: Reka je sijala na poslednjim zracima sunca.
En: The river glistened in the last rays of the sun.

Sr: "Vau", rekla je Vesna, ovaj put sa osmehom.
En: "Wow," Vesna said, this time with a smile.

Sr: "U pravu si.
En: "You were right.

Sr: Ovo je neverovatno.
En: This is incredible."

Sr: "Ali radost je bila kratkog daha.
En: But the joy was short-lived.

Sr: Mrak se brzo širio.
En: Darkness spread quickly.

Sr: "Moramo se vratiti", rekla je Vesna ozbiljno.
En: "We must return," Vesna said seriously.

Sr: "Put je težak.
En: "The path is difficult."

Sr: "Miloš je pregledao teren.
En: Miloš surveyed the area.

Sr: "Nećemo stići nazad na vreme.
En: "We won't make it back in time.

Sr: Moramo ostati ovde noćas.
En: We need to stay here overnight."

Sr: " Vesna je klimnula glavom, iako uplašena.
En: Vesna nodded, though scared.

Sr: Sakupili su nekoliko grana za vatru.
En: They gathered some branches for a fire.

Sr: "Imamo malo hrane, i vodu iz reke.
En: "We have a bit of food and water from the river.

Sr: Bićemo dobro.
En: We'll be fine."

Sr: "Noć je bila hladna i tamna, ali su preživeli uz pomoć svojih znanja.
En: The night was cold and dark, but they survived using their knowledge.

Sr: "Miloše," rekla je Vesna dok su čekali jutro, "sledeći put planiraj bolje.
En: "Miloš," Vesna said while they waited for morning, "next time, plan better."

Sr: "Miloš se osmehnuo.
En: Miloš smiled.

Sr: "Obećavam.
En: "I promise.

Sr: Ali ovo je bio dobar podsetnik da i spontanost ima svoju čar.
En: But this was a good reminder that spontaneity also has its charm."

Sr: " Jutro je donelo novi početak.
En: Morning brought a new beginning.

Sr: Sunce je obasjalo njihovo lice i put nazad.
