Sr: "Marko se nasmejao.
En: Marko laughed.

Sr: "Šta smo mi prijatelji, ako ne tu da pomognemo?
En: "What are friends for, if not to help each other?"

Sr: "Stefan je dodao: "Sledeći put, možda bismo mogli birati manje opasne avanture.
En: Stefan added, "Next time, maybe we should choose less risky adventures."
