En: The air was fresh as Jure, Mateja, and Nina entered Tivoli Park. Sl: Listje je šuštalo pod nogami kot preproga iz zlata in oranžne barve. En: The leaves rustled underfoot like a carpet of gold and orange. Sl: Družina se je odločila preživeti popoldne v parku, ki je bil na Dan spomina na mrtve poln mirnega razmišljanja. En: The family decided to spend the afternoon in the park, which was full of peaceful reflection on All Saints' Day. Sl: Jure je hodil počasi, tiho opazujoč okolico. En: Jure walked slowly, quietly observing the surroundings. Sl: Njegov pogled se je ustavil na Nini, ki je skakala po poti, polna energije. En: His gaze stopped on Nina, who was hopping along the path, full of energy. Sl: Bila je radovedna in želela je vedeti vse o parku, drevesih, življenju. En: She was curious and wanted to know everything about the park, the trees, life. Sl: Mateja je hodila poleg, vendar je bila njen um oddaljen v svetu službenih obveznosti, ki so jo težile. En: Mateja walked beside them, but her mind was distant, occupied by her work obligations that weighed on her. Sl: "Si OK, Mateja? En: "Are you OK, Mateja?" Sl: " jo je vprašal Jure. En: Jure asked her. Sl: Ona se je rahlo nasmehnila, a Jure je čutil, da je po mislih daleč stran. En: She smiled slightly, but Jure felt she was far away in her thoughts. Sl: "Nina," je rekel Jure in pokleknil k njej, "danes je poseben dan. En: "Nina," Jure said as he knelt down to her, "today is a special day. Sl: Spominjamo se naših prednikov. En: We remember our ancestors." Sl: " "Prednikov? En: "Ancestors?" Sl: " je vprašala Nina, nekoliko zmedeno. En: Nina asked, somewhat puzzled. Sl: "Ja, starih staršev, ki jih nisi nikoli spoznala. En: "Yes, grandparents you never met. Sl: Želiš slišati zgodbo? En: Do you want to hear a story?" Sl: " je vprašal Jure. En: Jure asked. Sl: Mateja je prisluhnila, čeprav je pogledovala na telefon. En: Mateja listened, though she glanced at her phone. Sl: Jure je sedel na klopico in povabil Nino k sebi. En: Jure sat on a bench and invited Nina to sit with him. Sl: "Ko sem bil tvoje starosti, sem z babico in dedkom hodil v ta park," je začel. En: "When I was your age, I would come to this park with my grandma and grandpa," he began. Sl: "Babica mi je vedno pripovedovala zgodbe o našem družinskem drevesu. En: "Grandma always told me stories about our family tree." Sl: "Nina ga je pozorno poslušala, njene oči so bile široko odprte. En: Nina listened intently, her eyes wide open. Sl: "Kaj je družinsko drevo? En: "What's a family tree?" Sl: " "To je simbol. En: "It's a symbol. Sl: Povezuje nas s preteklostjo. En: It connects us to the past. Sl: Tako kot drevesa v tem parku, imamo tudi mi korenine," je razložil Jure. En: Just like the trees in this park, we have roots too," Jure explained. Sl: Nina se je namrščila in razmišljala. En: Nina frowned, thinking. Sl: "Ali sem jaz del tega drevesa? En: "Am I part of this tree?" Sl: ""Seveda," je hitro odgovoril Jure. En: "Of course," Jure answered quickly. Sl: "Si posebna veja, ki raste naprej. En: "You're a special branch that grows onward."
